2012 GENERAL FABRIC POSTCARD SWAP with BJ

Many thanks Tessa for confirming Irene's address.

Margaret

Sorry Margaret, I did go and check for you, and my broadband broke while I was searching. It has been doing it all day, and I forgot which job I was in the middle of when it started up again. It's a good job Tessa has been tidying up after me today, she is a star!

Thanks Katy.

Hi Irene

My postcard is on it's way to you at last. Very sorry for the delay. In the end I followed Jan's instruction to K.I.S.S. with some help from the 'V&A Pattern The Fifties' source book.

I've just got home from work & my evening class to find your PC as arrived today. Thankyou so much, it's lovely. How did you 'do' the scent bottles?

It's too dark now to test the photochromatic thread and it'll be a day or so before I can upload a photo to Jan's album.

Thanks again

Maria

Hi All,

As we seem to be catching up with our swaps I thought it time to set another for you. I have already done the Bookmark/ATC and Trip round the World swaps, so ever open to a challenge I thought I would crack on with this one for you all too.

The theme for this one, hmmmmmm let me see. I think some of you have been a bit stumped by the last two themes so I am making this one really easy-peasy for you

I would like you to really be relaxed about this theme girls....hee hee...Your Postcard MUST have at least 5 that is FIVE different fabrics on it. You can do whatever you like with said fabrics just get five on there, in a design, in crazy fashion, what ever.

NOW the twist is...yes with me you should know there is always a twist to these cards.

Let's say you choose a RED as your first fabric, the other four must be RED too.

If you choose Blue, they must all be blue.

Am I making it clear I wonder?

I am not saying you have to use red or use blue, use whatever you have but the five fabrics must be the same colour family.

Once you have done the fabric part you can embellish it if you wish to, or not, it is your decision. I feel this is a really easy-peasy theme for you girls......so you can get this done and in the post by......end of APRIL. All done. Off you go.

Fay my Vase? Postcard is on its way to you very sorry for the delay.

Hi Maria

Glad its arrived

I can upload a photo, the bottles are photos on fabric, cut out and appliqued in place then overstitched with photochromatic thread which turns pink in the sun.

Happy playing in the sun!
