Plum Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 but from 2 people makes 4 then if you have made a few it would make a small display. I'm going to wait and see what they look like before deciding but thinking of doing like Lesley and making a small display, I have just the spot. Thanks Lesley for organising it and giving me a headache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 You don't need a large frame. A lot of arty pics are very small in small frame with a large background IYSWIM. Depending on what mine are, I think I'd like to frame them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loumabel Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 posted mine and they are not brilliant sorry to my recipients!!!!! I found it really hard and they took me ages for such a tiny thing. Can't wait to recieve mine and see what other people have created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have to apologise, have got a stinking cold and never got round to packing and posting yesterday. Hopefully will do it today if I survive work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hope you soon feel better Snowy - forget work.....go and play with Inchies! CnB Mum - in one of the early posts I put 'make 8, keep 4 and send 2 each to swappees' - I've made and kept a few ( ) more than 4 so will have plenty to frame I will take a photo of the 4 from the swap with 4 of mine as a set.

craftyhunnypie Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Mine have just arrived. Two envelopes for me! I am thrilled with mine I've received & although they are from 2 different people - they go together lovely. They are all made from felt, with blanket stitch round each of them. 2 have lovely embellishments on & the other 2 have such tiny embroidery on. One of a chicken & one with flowers & my name! Now I see what can be achieved, I want to make more! These 4 that I got have really perked me up & made me smile. Thank you to both creators. I think I am going to mount mine on a teeny weeny canvas from ' The Works'. They even sell mini canvasses stood on mini easels. Now that would look nice. Will take a photo later & upload As I've got lots of photos I want to show Omleteers. My inchies are going the post office in bit. I went into Aber yesterday & totally forgot my 2 envelopes! I don't feel mine are as good as the ones I have received - yes they were fiddly & one I made was quite important that I worked fast, before it set. But the experience I enjoyed & I do want to make lots more now! Thank you Lesley for arranging this & thank you creators for brightening my day with arty post!

Snowy Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Have finished work early - cancelled my well patients as I didn't feel it was fair to inflict bugs on them when they weren't ill to start with! Anyway, inchies are in envelopes ready to send, and I came home to one envelope with two gorgeous crocheted inchies in it! So thank you to the inchy crocheter - they are lovely! These are already mounted on card, so will wait and see what the next two are like before finalising display plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple hen Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Mine have just arrived, both lots. One pair are beautiful hand made felt with a blanket stitch edging and matching flowers embroidered on and a little butterfly. The other pair are tiny hand quilted inchies, one of a cupcake and a floral one with a ribbon binding. Thanks to both my senders and to Lesley for organising it all.

Lesley Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm glad to see they're arriving! - I was awake in the night panicking that I'd messed up on the names and addresses I'll probably be the last to receive mine as we had post today......probably won't get any tomorrow as we seem to miss every other day at the moment - rural routes are a pain in the backside! I can't wait for photos........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loumabel Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I received one set of mine today and they are lovely. One has embroidery with tiny beads sewn all over it and the other is so clever, a kind of woven pattern with threads of cotton. I will try and post pics but I really struggle to do computer things!! Thanks so much to my inchie sender, I am really worried now as mine are no where near as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Wow Emma those are beautiful, I feel really anxious about mine now but seems I'm not alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Marple Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Emma they are lovely and a really good matching set!!! Feeling better as the anxiety levels rise on here I am NOT alone You are NOT alone Can't find the key to our postbox at the moment so I don't know if I have any yet....

craftyhunnypie Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm another one that is anxious after seeing the achievement by the creators of my inchies! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Palmer Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Both my sets have arrived today and are lovely. Both sets are made of fabric with hand stitching and beadwork on 3 of them. They are very different to the ones I've created! Unfortunately, there was a pearl button broken in two within the tissue paper of one set, so the post must have been a bit heavy handed with it. I hope they are careful with mine, I sent them this morning and they are fragile. Will upload photos soon. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have a giftee Two lovely little crocheted (is that correct?) inchies with crocheted (doesn't look right ) flowers on, mounted on a cream card......there is no way I shall be sending that card anywhere, the envelope will be used as protection until I decide how to finally use/display them!

Olly Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ooh, they are lovely! no time to upload a photo tonight, sorry, but I have received two BEAUTIFUL inchies in purple hand-made felt with beads on. What amazes me is how different all of these are! I love them - and thank you so much for suggesting this, Lesley, and for organising it. Can't wait for the next two to arrive! Edited to add: I forgot to say that they had a lovely card with them, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
