Quilting Arts magazine had a challenge called 'Staycation', where you had to make a postcard reflecting what you did at home this summer. I started with some hand dyed upholstery fabric. In this picture you can really see the fabulous texture. I cut out the parts that I liked the best.
I sewed them together and then did some free motion quilting around the outside and a couple flowing lines in the middle.
I spent the rest of the time beading. When I finished beading I applied Timtex and a back layer and stitched around the outside. I will pop it in the mail and hope it gets there on time.

Upholstery fabric you say? I have some that I've been wondering what to do with and this gives me some ideas. thanks!
You're so bold and daring. I love how you try different fabrics, strategies, techniques. Love that!
this one is excellent - a bit of the ying yang thing going on!
I never thought about dyeing upholstery fabric...not a bad idea:)
Wonderful! I love it.
Pretty beads! Adds so much to the already great quilting.
