Lost & Found XVI

(Above:  Lost & Found XVI.  14 1/4" x 18 1/4".  Found objects hand-stitched to a section of a vintage quilt.  Objects include:  A wooden fan; four, red toy chairs; 10-cent food tokens; two metal nut crackers; Earth Day pins; people for a miniature railroad scene; two decorative pears; two, green game board pieces; bright aqua and black vaping pods; beer and beverage caps; dice; peace sign charms; clear, plastic birthday candle holders; garter hooks; bright green plastic from a beer yoke; assorted buttons and beads.  Click on either image to enlarge.)

This piece was inspired by both the fan and a scrap of a vintage quilt that was roughly the same size.  There was a challenge too!  I wanted to use the little railroad scene people who would ordinarily be sitting on a bench.  Since I didn't have a bench, the edge of the fan along with the nutcrackers were used.  Stitching through the thin wooden fan was also a challenge but I'm pleased with the results!
