Swap Bot - fabric post card swap

spoiler alert if you happen to be my swap bot swap partner...

this weekend we've been cleaning the house in preparation for our move north in 3 weeks time. to break up the utter boredom and to give myself a rest from the chemical warfare, i joined this cute little swap.

the task is to make a fabric postcard and this is what i made...



Looking for ideas, i found this tree stencil in a xmas craft book.



found some suitable fabric from my stash.



used double sided iron on to place the pieces.



blanket stitched around the tree... and...



hand stitched my message... then...



Added some sequins.



made the back with calico & stitched the lines, and finally



the finished postcard...

now ... back to some more cleaning... sigh
