Such a while since I blogged. Too much else happening in my life at the moment.
I have the grand children staying and though they are a delight, they take up time. Soon they will disappear back to Sydney and it will seem like a dream that they were ever here and once again I will fret because I miss so much of their growing up.
I have spent a little sewing time catching up on my ATC commitments. Here are a few more:
- a kimono postcard done with foundation piecing - gorgeous fabrics on black taffeta
- an ATC entitled Midnight Lace for a 'Different Fabrics" swap - I found this gorgeous piece of sequinned lace in Spotlight and was waiting for a chance to use it.
- two oriental fans for an "Oriental" swap. These were fun to make.
Now off to finish some butterflies, then a series titled "Checks". No ideas for this one.

Sometimes the cards are a little disappointing, but I guess that's the same with all swaps. We don't all have the same fabric and colour tastes, which is what makes life more interesting.
I am getting quite a collection of these little cards now and so far my interest is not flagging, though it can't last forever - can it?

You always come up with great ideas for your ATCs, Liz. They look great! I'm missing lots of categories in the swaps that I really wanted to do, but life is just too too hectic at the moment to even consider committments like that. Hopefully, I'll be back in a few months.
ReplyDeleteAll your oriental post cards and quilts and fabrics are wonderful.
