Two postcards have had a soft landing in my mailbox ,I love receiving them . This first one came all the way from Australia and is part of a yahoo group swap .
A little hot air balloon , rather cute don't you think . Thanks so much Mayke .The next one came from Olympia in Washington state and is part of my blog swap , I had almost given up hope on receiving this so it was a nice surprise this morning to open the envelope and discover this lovely landscape postcard from Laura (no blog) .
Great postcard Laura , thanks so much , I do love lighthouses and the ocean so it is a perfect card for me. Is anyone ready to do another swap , I was thinking we could do a fall themed swap since it is just around the corner , what do you think ?? Let me know and we can get a sign up going . Thanks .
I did a little sewing on Sunday but I think I am going to wait to share most of that for a later date , you will understand when I finally do post. However I do want to share this block I made as part of a new BOW by Linda of Linda's quiltmania , this is a stash buster quilt along and it is not too late to get started , this block was really quick to make and fun as well.
I am not real fond of the fabrics I used but that is ok , it may come together better once more blocks are made or I can always make another in a color I prefer right ;-)Why not hop on over to visit with Linda and join in , there are even prizes to be won , c'mon you know you want to .
I have been very busy preparing for the upcoming "Pin it " bloghop , my love affair with wool will be very evident in this hop and I have really enjoyed preparing and hope you will like what I have made , would you like a sneak peak? Alright just a small one and don't tell anyone.
I bet you can even tell what this is , you can see the whole pincushion on Spetember 12 which is my day to post . I best get going now , more work to do . Enjoy your day and thanks so much for stopping by .
hugs Sheila

ReplyDeleteYou always get the best postcards Sheila. I will pass on the swap for now since I have yet to make one. I hurt my hip white water rafting and have not made it to the sewing room. I bet your wool project is a sunflower?
