Paper,Peace,Home
This postcard was created using "Quilt Wizard" software, & is paper pieced. The tree on the left was added after the quilting was done using gel pens, & was heat set with an iron.

August
Wow! Where did June & July go??? Summer is going by so fast. My kids will be going back to school soon, & it will be time for me to get back to work on my sewing machine.
Well, the re-cycled/up-cycled pooh postcard was a big hit!
I gave it my friend Gloria for her 49th Birthday....yes @ her age she is the "Biggest" Winnie the pooh fan! Last year she went to see the Musical/Show...live & on stage....with a million screaming kids wearing her pooh house shoes....Yes she was the oldest member in the audience...not counting her date of course.
On another note- On a previous entry, I posted a pic of my newest postcard, "The jungle sings at night". Well I'm so excited to tell you that it was my 1st sale at my etsy store.
I can't wait to get some new stuff made!!!
Well everyone enjoy what is left of your summer, and watch out for some great deals on school supplies in your newspaper ads, weekly....that's what I do!

Pooh Postcard
I've really started getting into re-cycling used clothing. I think the new term is called up-cycle???
Anyway I made this fabric postcard using the front pocket that was on the bib of a pair of over-alls. Denim makes a great base for my fabric postcards, so you will be seeing more of these denim creations in the future!

Sampler postcard
I made this postcard for Kathyoz' birthday. I used a stencil & fabric paint to get the miniature blocks on muslin. It was a simple process, & a test of sorts. I would like to try another stencil that is more complex, that needs different colors, including shading.

Mel's Swan
This is was I made from the "ugly" FQ for Mel.
Her daughter just went wild, so I'll be making another one for her...with lots of glitter...LOL!

Mel's ugly FQ for Swan Swap
This is what Mel sent to me.
I saw many possibilities for this card. Also, I didn't think it was "ugly" at all, which made the challenge harder!

Swan swap from Mel
Mel did a great job turning my "ugly" into a "swan". She cut out the triangles, & made them into a vase....how clever. She filled the vase with applique flowers, embellished with butterflies. It also has a layer of tulle, & the edges are glitter yarn. Just beautiful!
"The Swan Swap"
We had a challenge on our postcard group. Everyone would pick out an "ugly" FQ, & send it to their partner. The partner would take the ugly, & turn it into a "swan", & send it back. You were allowed to add something from your own stash to transform the "ugly."
This is the FQ that I sent to Mel, for transformation. Looks hard, right?
