As an avid collector of vintage ephemera, over the years I have accumulated quite a collection of vintage postcards and stamps. My favorite images seem to always be the seasonal ones. Those favorites are the inspiration behind and the basis for this collection of postage stamp quilts. The addition of a little simple needlework adds a unique twist and some vintage charm to these projects.

This is the 2nd in a seasonal collection of 8 small wall hangings perfect for so many different occasions in the vintage inspired home! A medley of a little piecing, a little applique & a little embroidery and you're on your way to creating your very own heirloom collection! Every image is inspired by my collection of vintage stamps and postcards. To see the rest of the collection, go to our website or blog.
