The Challenge Spark (quilted card)

Jane from  White Orchid challenged Tara from Country Girl {Creates} and me to quilt a card. Not literally, of course, but to give a card a warmhearted quilt-block style. We do this challenge spark thing every week, taking turns with the challenges. Next week Tara wants us to make something using SU's Designer Series Paper.

But back to the quilt card, I've never done one of these before, but I was kinda pleased with the old country-style look of the Cherry Cobbler and Baked Brown Sugar color combo. I finished it with "You warm my heart" from Sheltering Tree as well as a few ribbons and buttons. Oh! And I dare NOT forget! I used my beautiful Husqvarna sewing machine's feather stitch and sewed between the blocks!

Kinda makes me feel like doing more of these!

Mmm I like it! I agree it doesn't look like your usual style but it's lovely anyhow! And I love the stitching... my sewing machine is in a different building than my craft supplies so machine sewing ain't gonna be happening on my cards any time soon :(
