Happy Thanksgiving

More Spring Postcards

I couldn't stop creating the paper/fabric postcards and had to do one for myself. Fun for sure.

This card started with the large flower. My local "Itching to Stitch" group of mixed media fiber friends gather once a month. This past month, Jayne Gaskins at www.jaynegaskins.com, demonstrated her thread painting using an enhanced photo. Then she patiently helped us do our own. I attached a leaf printed leaf and the flower on a simply quilted postcard.

I've attached the 2 postcards using a ribbon and hung them by my front door where I change out the fiber art according to the season. Some holidays I've added postcards from my marvelously creative sister, Marlene.

Happy Spring

I created some Spring postcards using fabric along with paper flowers. I just had to use the new paper punches I bought awhile ago. And of course, i had to add stitching. They're off in the mail. I sure enjoy making these holiday cards to give to my loved ones.


Happy Spring to all of you!

Quiet for some time but busy

AN EARLY VALENTINE - Awhile ago, I spent some time getting ready for a mini workshop for my local fiber art group. I made a foundation cloth by laying down fabric shapes and lace, layered a netting on top and stitched a grid. I cut 4x6" rectangles to make postcards. I added papers, ribbon, and fabric collage pieces. I free motioned them down. I finished up the card by zig zagging cardstock to the back. I also simply collaged fabric/paper, glued first then stitched to make greeting cards.

Lastly, I sewed a stuffed valentine, making a fabric collage first and then stitching it to another heart. Just fun! I've always been turned on by holidays. My fiber group ended up making just the postcards. But they all seemed to have a good time creating.
