More Fabric Postcards

I had a lovely surprise parcel today from Catherine in New Zealand.  I joined her in a PIF and this lovely pincushion arrived today with some pins and needles.  Thanks Catherine, I love it.

Several people have said they are looking forward to seeing the quilt I'm working on for my daughter.  It's not ready to share yet but here's a quick teaser:

Over the past couple of days I've made a set of fabric postcards for the November swap at BQLPC.  The theme was "Something Black and or White" and as I have been working at the cloth weaving online workshop with Jude Hill  I decided to use that technique for the cards.

I'm pleased with the results.  I used a pair of wool trousers and a linen shirt, both from Oxfam, for the fabrics and added buttons and large handstitching.  They were fun to do (except my machine decided to throw a wobbly when I was stitching the edges).

Have a great weekend everybody and enjoy the fireworks.  I'm off to the Autumn Quilt Show at Chilford.
