It has been quite a while since I have made a postcard and I am biting at the bit to make one and exchange so why not have a postcard exchange , they seem to be well received so...... if you are up to the challenge of making and sending a fall themed postcard please email me the following information ,
this is very important . First your full name and snail mail address , your blog address if you have one , your email address as well . Since typing is a bit challenging for me it is very important you send me this info so I can copy and paste to your partner rather than type each one , this will save me countless hours and stress on my hand , even if you have taken part before I will still need this info , thanks so much .
Here is one I actually sent for the CQ exchange but I figured I needed a photo to show you . Fall can mean many things other than leaves so use your imagination and lets play !! Feel free to pass this on the more the merrier . Opps I almost forgot to give you a date for this exchange , how about Oct 15th all postcards must be in the mail or already received .
I recently signed up for
Terry's new QAL the Charm Square Stars and I also signed up for a shirt challenge with Tracee of
Farm Gate Creations so I have decided I will combine these challenges and make my stars from shirts rather than charm squares , killing two birds with one stone , sounds like a plan to me , anyone want to join in just click on the links for either one . Tracee's shirt challenge is going to be fun as I get to disassemble six shirts and cut them into charms and start making stars . You are permitted to add one fabric other than the shirts , here are my shirts , some have been already cut apart .
My dear hubby was kind enough to donate these shirts to my cause ;-)
Ok I best get my act together and start cutting shirts into useable pieces , wish me luck . Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by .
Hugs Sheila
Your shirt project looks interesting - I have been saving some of Philip's shirts for years thinking I would make one of those back to front raggy quilts. I will one day. xx
ReplyDeleteThe challenges sound fun, and your husband's generosity is commendable. That will make a nice keepsake quilt.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your challenge results.
ReplyDeleteGood idea to combine the two projects! How's the arm/hand coming along?
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea to combine the challenge.... and I'll get back to you re the swap... I like making a postcard every now and then...

Hi Sheila cant wait to see what post cards are made and i have friends doing a shirt challenge too,lots of fun to be had with this,hope you have a lovely day my friend.xx
ReplyDeleteSew good to do both challenges in one..
ReplyDeleteYes please count me in for the Autumn challenge. Will email you.
Sheila I have been thinking hard and have decided to watch THIS postcard swap from afar this time... I do need to catch up on a LOT of things at the moment. Great idea to combine the challenge and the sewalong - such a kind husband you have to share with you - but did it mean a shopping trip to replace the shirts?!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely postcard as usual! Looks like you are going to have fun with those shirts!
ReplyDeleteNice postcard! The swap sounds like a great idea and I'll email you my info. The challenges sound like a lot of fun. Enjoy your stitching!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, to combine two challenges. It was nice of your husband to donate the shirts. I think that should give him first dibs on the finished quilt.
ReplyDeletePretty post card, Sheila! I love your idea to combine the two challenges and I can't wait to see the finished product! Wouldn't this make a nice giftie to a grandchild? A quilt made from Grampy's shirts? You're a genius!
ReplyDeleteAlways wanted to a quilt from shirts...maybe one of these days.. look forward to seeing yours
ReplyDeleteI would be apart of your post card swap :0)
ReplyDeleteYour projects look like fun I might have to check hubbies closet for some shirts....
