It's Postcard Time!

I'm in a postcard frenzy - whipping out some bright colors in anticipation of the end of winter.  I am highly motivated by the onset of spring. So.. about 75 cards in the making.  These will be for the SK Craft Council Boutique, and I'll likely frame some up for shows I have before the summer.


The color schemes are put together - no two alike.  Now I'm addign the stitching, mostly simple machine work and some couching.  This is my fave - fabric from my friend Carmen (LOVE this color to no end!!).


Sheep in some.  Birds in others.  Then it will be a couple of afternoons doing backings and edges.  (A couple or three...)

It's a beautiful day - BEAUTIFUL!  So for this afternoon, we are out to play!  : )

Linking up to WIP Wednesday @ TN&TN.  My apologies about the font & format - not sure what happened.  Inlink changed, I didn't.  ?  hmm..
Have a super day everyone!

    What a delight to see all those bright colours. I can't wait to see how they look after you've finished your stitching. There's one in particular I'll be keeping an eye on.

    Ich weiß nicht was mich neidischer macht: so viele fantastische Postkarten, oder daß ihr schon Frühling habt!? Uns werden -23 C angesagt, und heute hat es sehr und sehr kalt geweht .....
