Quilted ATCs

Earlier this year I took a fantastic online class with an extremely talented artist Julie Fei-fan Balzer. I love Julie's bright colourful work which has this amazing freedom about it. The class was called "It's Sew Easy" and had lots of mixed media and stitching projects.

One of the projects was to make some fabric ATCs (Artists Trading Cards) using image transfer techniques, painting, stamping and free motion stitching. I really enjoyed making these and some of my friends have asked me to make some for them too. I've stitched Bible verses onto the pieces and I think these would make a lovely way of presenting encouragement verses.
