Cloth Doodle Quiltlet

I finished adding the felt backing and the beaded edging last night.  This piece will be sent off to trade in a swap.

Earth Days ATC’s

 Here are my Earth Day ATC’s for a swap.  The rules were to use up what you had – don’t buy anything new to create these.  These fabrics were what was left on the art tables after cleaning out some drawers and the beads were left from my Saturday Market Wallet and the last set of ATC’s I created.  The embroidery thread is always in a cannister on the table along with the needles.  I like the organic look of these – hope my trading partners like them too. 

Saturday Market Wallet

I so love this fabric that I keep finding different things to make with it.  Today I finished up a small wallet that I am calling my Saturday Market Wallet.  This is a tri-fold design, it folds into thirds.  This was made like a quilt; the top, batting, backing and then the binding.   I didn’t use a pattern, I just guessed at what the right size would be and am very pleased with the result.   Here is the front of the wallet.

When closed like above, the wallet measures 6 inches wide by 5 inches tall.

Open up the top flap and here is what you see.

Open up the bottom flap and here is what you see.  A place to put your paper money in the center and your debit card and drivers license in the bottom.  I chose a contrasting thread to hand sew the binding on the inside.

Here is the flip side of this view.

I only beaded and embroidered the top flap since that is what you see when you hold it.

Our local Saturday Farmers Market starts in about 6 weeks and I will be taking this lovely with me.  Enjoy!!

Sing for Spring ATC #9

I just keep on making these because they are quick and easy and give me immediate satisfaction that I completed something.
