Fat Quarter Fairies

I have been busy working on many projects that were surprises for clients and friends making it impossible to post the images. All gifts and surprises have taken place so I am going to share!

As a quilter, I had to learn terms that we new to me ... I had never heard of a FAT QUARTER but as I became fascinated with piecing and designing with fabric the term rolled freely off my tongue. Shopping for yardage and notions are addictive and picking up a fat quarter or two is like adding a little gem to my stash.

But, of course, I can not give up my drawing and painting so the creation of the Fat Quarter Fairies came easily to me in the studio, first as gifts for friends and then as note cards for others to enjoy!




Each FQ Fairy is small in size and sits on a stack of fat quarter fabrics tied in a neat bundle. She is dressed in fabric that is fluffy and frilly, always wears stripped leggins and so far, they are all so full of love that their bust sizes are large, even for a little creature.

I hope you like the look of the FQ Fairies.....
