Burgundy-Rose Fan with Hummingbird Beaded Art Quilt Pin. Appx. 2"x2" in size. This pin is made of burgundy, rose pink and ivory printed fabrics satin stitched together with gold metallic thread. The edges are bound with white and gold yarn stitched on with clear thread. Pink and white and burgundy pearescent beads along with assorted glass beads in wine, pink, and clear sparkle and shimmer on it. A goldtone hummingbird perches at the base of the fan. The second photo of this pin shows it with a ruler to see the size easier. The back on this pin also allows for use as a pendant, by pinning it onto a necklace or chain you already have, as shown in the 3rd photo. Art quilt pins look great on lapels, sweaters, or blouses to add a little glitz to any outfit. They also can be used to jazz up an evening bag. The 4th photo is of a display board showing other pins I have made, just let me know if you need something different, and I will let you know what is available, and upload it for you to purchase. My Art Quilt Pins came about when I had collected an abundance of very small scraps of beautiful "quilt sandwiches", (pieces of batting with fabric fused to both sides). Many of the fabrics were ones that I had painted myself, and I just could not throw them away. I started stitching pieces together into mini crazy quilts, then embellished them with beading, and the Art Quilt Pin was born. They are fabric on the back, also, and stiff enough to hold up well while being worn. These little gems are one of a kind originals that give me a way to express myself and play with the beads, crystals, and fibers that I have been collecting.
