Art Quilts

This collection happened by accident! We wanted our next Special Edition to be different from all the others in that the designs don't connect to form a larger quilt. We wanted the designs to all be beautiful and stand on their own. So, we decided to design a small art quilt and see where it went. We love art quilts, however, they are very hard to create and include a lot of fabric layering, free motion stitches and shading stitches. We wanted to recreate that look in one hooping, so we did a test and it came out wonderfully. We then said Now that we have an 8x12 quilt what are we going to do with it? Our artist Rachel Woodhouse folded it in half and said We could make embroidered greeting cards! What I thought was an odd idea turned into a brilliant one, and we experimented with techniques until it was perfect. The end result is a mini quilt that will fold flat to become a beautiful card!
