Stitched Postcard Swap

A while ago I mentioned the Great Stitched Postcard Swap and I thought you might like to see my wee entry.

I was teamed up with Miriam from Australia who seems a lovely person. From her blog (http://createhopeinspire.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1) I could tell she was a creative person as well as a mum & wife.

The theme this year was create and being a mum to two boys I thought I’d go for a feminine look.

I stitched in pretty shades highlighting the pressed flowers and adding words such as joy, fun & love as a reminder of why we create.

As a finishing touch I made a hexagon in Ondian wedding sari silk with a circle cut out on it.

We’ve never met or spoken but I love the postcard she sent me. It has free machine embroidery on it and with a boat on the sea. Love the inscription of create possibilities on it. So me I’m still smiling.
