freddie Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 5 past 5 in the morning???? A lot of thought went into it, though the end product, is I''m afraid, a bit woosie:( Maybe have another go..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Mine was nearly finished ages ago....so I set it aside.....and almost forgot to finish it off! I've just been to the village to post it and when I returned my postcard was on the mat!! - I'm very excited as I always seem to be the last to receive a swap I'm saving it to open tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Have a great time in London, Plum. I couldn't wait to open mine It is the most exquisite appliqued/embroidered work of art!! It has a thrush and throstlings in a nest, I'll post a photo shortly. It is absolutely beautiful - thank you to my swappee, you must have known that thrushes are my favourite garden birds.

emily95 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Sounds fab, Lesley! I've just got home and my postcard was waiting for me.... It's beautiful felt postcard with 2 flowers on the front (all hand stitched in the neatest neat stitching!!) and a window in the back cut out for the paper with the message on. It's beautiful - I love the colours too (green, and 2 different pinks) Thankyou to my lovely omleteer! (I'll post a photo when I get back from my holiday - I'm afraid my camera is currently charging up ready for leaving at 5.00 am tomorrow , and it doesnt have enough charge to turn on yet... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Jane Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Sccchhhhhhhh.....it's supposed to be a secret Probably the worst kept secret ever There are some beautiful cards so far. I was so thrilled when I received my glass card that I was tempted to do a triple somersault - well the gymnasts make it look so easy. But I thought I might do myself a teensy mischief so I contented myself with a bit of a Snoopy happy dance then a lie down to recover. I took a look at my card again this morning and noticed how it glitters in the sunshine. I will have to display it somewhere sunny (not England then ). I would love to know how to make something like that. You are all so clever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
