Inspired by a Quilt


These quilts and/or the theme of quilting are great inspiration for a stamping project.  Go check out the #124 Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge to be blown away.  For my card I was drawn to the upper right quilt in the inspiration photo.  What's super cool about my card is that the linen thread knots were tied just like a quilt.  I actually used a big needle to "tie" my quilted card panel.  The faux stitching lines are the result of the the Postage Punch.  How easy and effective is that?
