Finished it Friday

If you signed up for the Canada Day Postcard swap, it is now time to get your cards made and photographed.  We'll be getting information from Brandy soon enough to find out who we are partnered up to exchange cards with.  You can read more HERE.  Sign up is now closed.  We hope to be receiving cards around July 1st.  Good golly that is coming up sooner than you think!  Brandy chose the theme of 'maple leaves'.  Here are my card tops complete.  I signed up more than once.

The backs are fused on and then I trimmed the edges and satin stitched them around.  I didn't plan on white, but I thought it made them look fresh and clean.  So - white borders it is.  I am so happy with them!  I can't wait to pop them in the mail.

Thanks again Brandy for taking on this quilted postcard topic.  ; )

Merry Christmas (Card!)

Wonderful things are still happening - just when I thought the year was over.  You know how I have art in the Saskatchewan Craft Council?  Well, the neighborhood's MLA office chooses local art for the cover of their holiday card each year.  They went in to the Boutique this month and picked this lonely little winter prairie postcard of mine!

That is so sweet!  Of all the art in there, a simple little scene was selected.  It's REALLY simple.  They were so gracious about it.  I am thankful that they support local artists in this way.  I did see the card last week before it was mailed out, and unfortunately it ended up really dark.  So - if you come by my page here, this is the postcard in it's true colors.  I hope you enjoy it!  It is very brilliant and sparkly.  : )  Thank you Cathy Sproule & Deborah for choosing it, and to the Craft Council for having it on display to the public.

Merry Christmas - Fröhliche Weihnachten - Joyeux Noël

Happy Holidays
