Polka Dot Cross-Quilted Fabric Art Postcard/Mini-Quilt-OOAK

Description

This is a 4 inch by 6 inch original one of a kind cross. I will not make another one exactly like this!

The cross is cut from bright pink mottled cotton. I machine appliquéd it in place using pastel variegated thread and a satin stitch. Hand sewn on top of the cross are pearly white seed beads. There are almost 50 beads hand stitched onto the cross.

The lighter pink background fabric has multicolored polka dots printed on it. I machine quilted a grid pattern using a straight stitch with the same pastel variegated thread that I used for the edge of the cross.

The back of the piece is white cotton fabric with a light pink polka dot print. On the back you can add your own personal message using fabric markers or pens.

I often give these to friends and family as gifts with a personal message inscribed on the back. You could even add your favorite prayer to the back. It would be beautiful attached to the top of a larger gift as a tag or package decoration.

Between the two layers of quilt shop quality cotton fabric is stiff interfacing. This gives the piece stiffness which adds to its versatility. It could be displayed on an easel or easily hung on a wall without a frame. You could also mount it in a black shadowbox type frame for a wonderful presentation.

The edges of this piece are bound with the pastel thread in a satin stitch.

This cross is a great gift. It is a small reminder of faith and the fact that we are never alone. It could be presented at a baptism, first communion, confirmation, birthday, graduation or wedding.

I have given similar crosses as sympathy cards with a personal note written on the back.

If mailing this piece, I would suggest placing it in an envelope due to the glass beads.

Enjoy!
