...well done...

Hey There!

Hope that you're having a great weekend...I'm poppin' in here to share a quilt-y card:)


Each of the Amy Butler papers are cut into 2 inch squares...this puppy is 6x6...humungous!  I wanted the squares to be large enough that you could really appreciate the colors and patterns.

The center label is via The Craft's Meow Timeless Tags set:


The sentiment is SRM.  Did you notice the stitching...like TONS of stitching..



I'm a ginormous fan of quilts...if I had the time to pick up another hobby...quilting would be it...but sadly I don't have the time:(  I was curious about the Tuesday Trigger so I popped over to the Etsy shop...check it out.  

I was inspired by the Amy Butler'ish fabric and the stitching..Do you see the bling?  It matches the greenish/yellowish color...

Are you surprised?  I'm entering this into the Gallery Idol 2011 contest...

Tomorrow starts The Craft's Meow July Previews...you won't want to miss out!

beautiful card ~ I love the papers you have used on it and I like that you made it large enough so we could see each individual pattern.
I wish I had time to take up that hobby as well. Maybe when I give up cardmaking.

Awesome stitching and those patterns rock! :)
This is so pretty! I really love quilting too and doing it with paper is the next best thing :>) It is faster as well. That is the only downside to quilting, it takes me months to finish anything. Did you try the paper quilting per the SCS tutorial? I definitely recommend putting adhesive on the base vs the individual squares.

So FAB! LOOOOOVE the colors and papers and grid design! PERFECT!
Love this, you should do "quilted" cards more often, it totally fits your love of patterned paper style.

Gorgeous quilt pattern. A fun mix of designs. :)

We are so on the same wavelength. I was laying in bed night before last thinking about making cards. Im a huge fan of blocking and I was thinking how I could jazz it up a bit and thought, "hey, I could stitch it like a quilt"! Then I visit the GI gallery and there is your card! :) Amazing. Your card is just lovely-I adore thos AB papers and the stitching really does jazz it up!
Alice said…
wow! love love how your stitching really made it look like a piece of quilt. gorgeous card, Amy! love love it!
