Two Small Art Quilts

I'm diving into a new area of artwork.  (What an exciting sentence to write, btw!)

If you've followed this blog for a while, you know that I love to make quilt tops, but I hate to quilt them.  Case-in-point, this one has been in my drawer for more than a year (and has the wrinkles to prove it):

I also love hand embroidery.

Well, I'm mushing the two together: quilt tops that aren't quilted + hand embroidery.

These are 8x8 "canvases."

In essentials, I made a mini quilt top, added batting, and then wrapped it around a canvas.

I'm really enjoying putting together these petite compositions.  They take a surprisingly loooooong time (compared to painting or printing) but I think they're worth it!

I'm still perfecting my mitered corners.  I think you'll see a lot more of these small wonders from me!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
