This week's TLC on SCS is to get personal, creating a card with someone in mind, using your favorite technique. I immediately thought of my dear friend who loves purple and will be undergoing a difficult chemo process beginning this week. My favorite technique is to incorporate my second passion - quilting and sewing - on my card creations.
This card measures 5 1/4 X 5 1/2 and is mounted on shimmer white CS. The squares are 1 1/4 and mounted on a scant 3 3/4 inch base. One square is cut diagonally twice to create triangle pieces. The base is then mounted on a 4 1/2 inch base to border the quilt block. Another layer 4/3/4 inch is added for the binding. I sewed on a button and added stitching around the perimeter of the quilt block too. Please PM me if more deets are needed!
Great challenge Holly!
Thanks for looking!

WOW this is beautiful! I had a challenge that was dealing with quilting so I came to SCS to look for some inspiration and I have to tell you that your card totally caught my eye. Loved the pattern you used. I'd love for you to come and see how you have amazingly inspired me! Qulting & Stitching by MrsDeadman at Splitcoaststampers
