Fiber Art for a Cause

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

I have committed to making 25 (quality) postcards for the Fiberart for a Cause led by the amazing Virginia Spiegel. There is a link t the left, if you want more information. The postcards sell for $30 each at the Houston International Quilt Festival.

So I am in a postcard frenzy trying to get these done and mailed to Virginia before the sixth of September so that I might have a chance of winning one of the wonderful early bird prizes. Here is my Cosmic Circle series. I cut up the Cosmic Circles art quilt which was giving me fits and I like it better as 6 postcards. On some of them, I have foiled some embellishment.

I apologize for the quality of these photos; I usually scan them, but the reflection of the foil and the organza was a problem.

This is a collaborative postcard. I found the pieced background at June Underwood’s porch sale/giveaway. I quilted it and added the Japanese kimono bamboo images. I call it Bamboo Fence.

I have two more series to finish and photograph: Square Dance and Secret Garden.
