Recently I wanted to send thank you notes and somehow a store purchased card fell short of how I wanted to express my gratefulness. I was also feeling a bit restless about my sewing – time to break out the scraps and do some improve! I chose various brights and just had to add some black and white and just began to piece.
The heart shape on this one below was a happy accident! There was a fair amount of sewing with those narrow strips, but it was fun.
Basically a wonky log cabin, the one below is my favorite.
Each wasounted on stabilizer then glued to the front of a 5″ x 7″ card. If you do a card like this, remember to go to the post office to have it weighed as there was extra postage. But OH SO worth it! I just hope the recipients understand how much I appreciated them.

Really nice!
Beautiful. My favorite is the heart.
That is a clever idea. What glue did you use?
I used Tacky glue. Holds really well.
Perfect! I did one once in an exchange and never got one back – boo hoo! Need to remember to do this more!
Beautiful mini quilts!
What a lovely gesture. They turned out great. Thanks for sharing!
Nice! I am sure the recipients will enjoy their treasures!
What a sweet gesture and a fun way to use up some scraps 🙂
