My First Official Fabric Postcard Swap

Sheila of Sheila's Quilt World , organized and hosted a fabric postcard swap recently.  I was lucky enough to be able to join in at the last moment.  This is my first official fabric postcard swap although I have made a few before, with great support and inspiration from Sheila.  I was partnered with Sunny of Quilting Dreams.  The theme was flowers.  Don't you just love the sunflower sun that Sunny created!  Her stitching is perfect.  What a great job.  I love the way that she changed thread colour along the edges to match.  This was Sunny's first postcard swap too.
Being involved in a swap is a great way to hone your skills, maybe learn something new and to also make new quilty friends.  Thanks Sunny, I just love the postcard you made for me.

Oh yes, and here is the postcard I made for Sunny.  I can show you now since she has received it.

Thanks to Sheila for organizing and hosting this fun swap.  Hope there will be more in the future.

  1. Okay, I just went back and found the instructions Sheila sent me. There was no mention of a "Theme"! I had noticed that a lot of people seemed to be making flowers. Oh well. I love my postcard from you, too!
