New Notes for a Friend
After cutting up a finished quilt, I used it as the starting point for EIGHT new Notes for a Friend. Here are four of them, #23-26.

I had fun adding cross stitches,
#24
and French knots,
#25
little bits of fabric,
#26
and hand stitched twigs.
I really enjoy creating these tiny pieces, each of which is 5 x 7. Many of them look great turned 90 or 180 degrees. They also look fabulous framed. Here’s an earlier example:
Each Note for a Friend is $59. I’ll add them to my website soon, or you can email me with your purchase request.
Four more coming soon!

I love these little quilts! And how great the framed one looks? Can you describe how you did it? Always love your posts!
Hi Sally. Don’t you love that framing effect? This sort of see-through frame is called a floating frame. They’re a little hard to find, but I can usually get them at Michael’s. However, you can also do this trick with a regular frame with a mat (with or without a cutout.) Either way, my trick is to mount the small quilts directly on front of the glass, rather than behind it. To do so I use double sided tape (and a lot of fiddling to get it centered.) I think it really adds a lot to the presentation of these very small pieces.
