I participated in a poppy themed fabric postcard swap in September with
Lin at St. Viktor Quilts and this is the lovely postcard she made and mailed to me. Poppy Seed Heads was made using shibori dyed fabric, gold Markal rubbing of a poppy seed head and hand stitched. Thank you very much Lin for making such a nice postcard for me.
I heat gunned organza and a granola bar wrapper onto a piece of felt, fused the red organza to the felt, added some beads and hand stitching for my Poppies for Lin fabric postcard.
Slow progress on my Sampler In Blue. I really hope to be finished by the end of October or November at the latest.
Enjoying the beautiful Autumn colours.
Have a delightful day everyone :)

Your popies are wonderful and your embroidery is progressing nicely.
ReplyDeleteBoth poppy cards are so beautiful, and it is awesome to know of the recycled material used. A cross stitch sampler like that will take time, but oh how beautiful it will be on the wall!
ReplyDeleteYour outside wall is beautiful, too, with the autumn foliage.

ReplyDeleteHello Jenny. I have only just found a comment from you on one of my blog postings way back last year. I was so surprised and pleased I hopped over to visit and so pleased that I did. What wonderful stitch work you do and in so many different and interesting ways. I have joined your list of members and I will certainly visit again to check out what you are doing. Parchment work is my first love but I do find needle and bead crafts fascinating.
