Plum Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) It's been so quiet on here, we need shaking up. Anyone up for a summer swap? You make a postcard size 6" x 4" size piece in any media, felt, patchwork, thread etc., and we swap when you choose. Some instructions here and ideas here from the flikr group here I love those trees, I wonder if I could do one. and what we received Plums Craftyhunnypie Scubababe 002 by skubababe Chuckmum6 Lesley freddie Jennifer Jane Edited August 5, 2012 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Of course, that'll make it more interesting. I've had a go at arranging a swap so please volunteer someone to be the postman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Not really just thought you might want to control the thread title Are we going to have a theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 ......Chickens? I'll join in - not totally sure how this actually works , but I 'll give it a go. I break up on Friday for summer hooray - so this could be a welcome change. I've already got design ideas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Oh good, another swapee Not really just thought you might want to control the thread title Are we going to have a theme? I could leave off the word 'Summer' A theme .......I thought I was just sorting out posting details etc. Don't make me think, I've been poorly all week and my head's like cotton wool Anys for suggestions welcome.......

Plum Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Magic! summer has gone. Sorry you've got a poorly head What about widening the theme from chickens to nature. That's something we all could relate to and gives scope to do practically anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubababe Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 WOW. This reminds me of the Victorian era. When do you think it would have to be completed by? Depending on dates I could volunteer to sort out swap addresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Jane Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I would like to join in please. Although I have lots of WIPs (including the cardy challenge ) and DH says I need to finish a few things before I start anything else, if I have a deadline I will work to it. And postcards aren't very big, so theoretically it shouldn't take long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Right, I'm back........cotton wool brain has gone (not that it will make much difference ) I was joking about the word Summer - but quite appropriate given the weather we have I'm happy to sort out addresses etc. so if you all let me have your details I can sort out who your swappee will be. I think NATURE is a brilliant topic and yes to whoever asked about the medium to be used........any medium..... How about aiming to post on or near the last day of July so that we all receive them in August - it may even be Summer by then! Let me know if that doesn't suit so that we can consider other dates. I'll list all the people taking part shortly...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
