Your Royal Highness Fabric Postcard

I received this cutie in the mail last week. It kind of smashed in the scanner. 

Luck of the Irish Fabric Postcards

This is my version of an Irish sea scape view. I goggled Ireland and there were a lot of pictures of cliffs and water with green grass. I used fabric crayons and regular crayons on muslin fabric. My skills at drawing free hand aren't that great. 

I received this from one of my partners. The Celtic knot is a darker green and just beautiful in person. I love it. 

Thread Sketching Fabric Postcards

We had a swap on Swap-Bot this month called Thread Sketching. You used your machine to draw a picture on the fabric. Very similar to free motion quilting. The picture you have drawn is the main attraction. You can do in free hand, trace something onto your fabric and then go over the lines, or pin your fabric to the back of a picture that you want to replicate and trace the picture. I haven't tried the last two methods. I didn't have time to take pictures of the ones I made. It was my first time actually trying to create a recognizable picture using free motion. It takes a lot of practice. For my first time they turned out ok. Here are pictures of the three I received. Enjoy!

This one is an original doodle by Tricia. Love this little guy.

Pat in FL made this delightful sunflower for me. I love sunflowers.

Margaret in Maine made this lovely spring scene. The daffodils are blooming in our neighborhood. This one fits right in. We get a large variety of birds in our back yard. I love to try and sneak pictures of them.

Yo-Yo Flower Fabric Postcard

I created this yo-yo fabric postcard for a swap. The actual theme was buttons and not yo-yo's. Enjoy!

Orange Crazy Quilt Fabric Postcard

You can see in the first picture some yucky marks right in the middle from this postcard getting put through the postal machine. It is sad to see someones hard work get ruined. Both of these fabric postcards are from a swap on Swap-Bot. I received them from my partners.

Fabric Postcard Give Away

October is my birthday month. I am on the cusp of being a Libra and Scorpio. However I find my temperament leans more towards Scorpio. I will be 35. I find that this year so far has been the hardest for me. My 1st baby turned 15. He will be 16 in January and it scares me to think that he will be driving alone and is almost grown. Where has the time gone?

But let's get to the point!(I know that's what your thinking). :)

I have decided to host a give away in honor of my birthday. One lucky winner will receive 2 crazy quilt fabric postcards in the color of their choosing. I will leave them blank encase the winner wants to mail them to someone. I will also send 2 fat quarters in the winners color preference.

To get in on this drawing you have to follow this blog. That will get you one entry. To get another chance you will have to blog about this give away. Leave a comment for both occasions. I will pick a winner on October 23rd (my birthday). Make sure that I have a way of getting in touch with you. Good Luck and happy sewing.
