I am in a yahoo exchange at the moment and yesterday I created this postcard, the theme was actually to use handdyed or painted fabrics so this is what I came up with .
A clematis flower , I downsized an applique pattern I had to fit the space and voila , a pretty flower .
I won these gorgeous Mirror Ball Dot fabric by Michael Miller in a blog hop . They were sent off to me by Mark Hordyszynski "The Mad Hatter of Maui" although I won them from Nanette , thanks so much to both of you for these wonderful colorful fabrics . What do you think I should make ? Oh the little folder is actually filled with all the swatches of this fabric line, so cool !!
What am I up to day you might wonder , well I have just cut out all the pieces to make two aprons with Nova Scotia Tartan , this was a request by a lady who was given one of my aprons as a gift and she intends on giving these as gifts . I will give you an update as I get them constructed :-)
I am a little sad today as my granddaughter Alyssa is graduating from school and I would so love to be there to see her cross that stage , all the best Alyssa , we are so proud of you and we love you !! Here is a picture of her with her prom date recently , she is a gorgeous young lady .
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day .
Hugs Sheila
I`d be up for a little postcard swap although I don`t think I can make something as beautiful as your clematis!
