Beautiful Inside and Out

As I was travelling through St. Louis Lambert International Airport over Christmas 2014, a Missouri Fiber Artist display in a corner caught my eye.

I am fascinated by what people can do with fabric, and not just for quilts. This small display had some wonderfully charming examples of fabric becoming something totally transformed.

The first one was a face made out of fabric, both front and back. The face reminded me of a ship's sail taking on wind to move across water.

Here's the back, which interestingly enough was the first side one sees. Maybe this is why I thought of the sailing image.

What do you see in these fabric pieces?

Homemade Bluebird Card

This was so sweet, a homemade thank you card left on my office desk by a co-worker.

The white card has corrugated brown strips at the top for the birdhouse roof, and a hole in the center for the birdhouse opening. What kind of birds would use this house?

Inside, a bluebird on a branch with unglued leaves helps deliver the message.

The back is stamped with the card maker.

Are you tempted to make your own homemade cards?  What kind would you make?
