Hi, Laura - Good to see you posting. These are fascinating little pieces - are you hand-stitching the edges with a buttonhole stitch? That's what it looks like... lovely work. Great idea!
hi Pat, thanks for the note! I am so erratic with posting that i wouldn't be surprised if noone ever read! the edges are all machine stitched - exterior edges are done with a buttonhole stitch, interrior fold edges with a sort of ladder stitch, on the 9 mm setting. i am finding this a good format right now and actually seeing ideas develop for the first time in a long while.
Laura, This is a fantastic idea!! what a wonderful way to show off the small fabric works,like post cards. And what a great way to display something where it turns into a 3 dimensional piece. I Love this! I cant wait to see more and from both sides. The mind boggles,You are amazing! Are you going to try this on a bigger scale as well?
