“Sweet Passion”
4” x 6” quilted postcard

“Sweet Passion” - NFS

FiberArts Magazine, published in Loveland, Colorado, sponsored a Valentine’s Day event this year by soliciting fiber postcards that would be postmarked at “Love-Land” on February 14th. Postcards had to be submitted by January 15th for a future article.  This postcard is pictured on Page 28 of their April/May 2007 issue.

This postcard combines three printed cottons, organza, antique satin, a peacock feather, tulle, buttons, a bead, and “magnetic words.” The postcard was edged with satin stitching and then embellished with an organza picot ribbon, folded in half and mitered onto the front and the back with the center fold of the organza ribbon extending beyond the postcard edge for added embellishment. The red rose is highlighted with outline quilting, and some of the quilting threads on cupid’s wings were left long to add to the softness. A little red glass heart bead adorns cupid’s hand.

The postcard was mailed (without an envelope) to my sweetheart, Phil (see the book), and it arrived in perfect condition!

This postcard will be displayed in a 5" x 7" shadow box frame and offered for sale; contact Bonnie by email if you are interested.
