Valentine ATCs


I created these ATCs this past week. I had the background (blue and green pieces) leftover from another project and decided to make these. I actually was totally out of ATCs in my stash and I like to have some on hand to toss into packages I mail or for whatever reason.

The background on these is Mistyfused fabrics on stiff interfacing. Then I used pre-fused scraps to create the focal design. I free-motion stitched the hearts and then added some painted accents. I Mistyfused some watercolor paper to the back side and then zigzag stitched the outside edges.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Edit: Mistyfuse is sold worldwide. Check with your local quilt shop. Also available online through several retailers and at www.mistyfuse.com.

  2. Very pretty hearts! And I love your gourd. I've tried growing them but no luck. Maybe I'll try again this year.

  5. I think I might do something like this for postcards. I have a bunch of scraps from my latest paper piecing project and this would be perfect.

  8. I think I overthink these and need to work simpler and more spontaneously.

  9. I really like these, the hearts are so perfect - sweet without being sickly! Think I might try this for some Valentine fabric postcards. Thanks for (more) inspiration, really pleased to have found your blog via the 3 creative studios journal quilts.
