I have had fun the last few days creating these ATCs..only 3 more stitching days of the hols left though !!
Yesterday we had a rare treat as Sophie was performing near where we live. I don't often get to see her sing so it was a chance to be a proud Mum. Before the performance we walked by the canal.
haha! you're back!!
ReplyDeleteadorable (is that word ok?) cards, Lorna! makes me want to reach out and touch them.......love the velvet touches and colour combinations

HI Anne hope all is well with you thanks for lovely comments ..yes I think you can tell I enjoyed making these ........xx
ReplyDeleteA proud mum you should be, too! Love those scrumtious cards, nothing like a bit of color! I'd have kept the last card on 2 posts back, too :)
ReplyDeleteDid I ask what sewing machine you use? I need to bite the bullet & invest in a machine that has more than just straight stitch!
Those are wonderful cards, I may have to venture into some fabric ATC's when I get back to my sewing machine in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do a trade with you sometime. So far I only have paper collage types with my oddball humor.
Not only is you husband cute, your whole family is (talented too)! It's nice to get to know you on your blog.

It's so hard to choose but I'm favoring the bottom right one here :)

Your ATC's are lush and lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to be able to spend time with our grown children, (It seems that each year I see my eldest less and less.) How wonderful to get to see your daughter perform, no wonder you are a proud mum!
Emma i have an ancient Bernina which was second hand when I bought it.....it barely does any fancy stitches but I only use straight and zig zag .......xx
ReplyDeleteKim....thanks for lovely comments ....xx
Victoria ..thank you for that and yes it is nice to spend time with them I have 4 grown ups although I am sure i am not old enough ...How old are yours ??......xx
I have just found your blog. I love the colours and stitching. If it is not a trade secret, how do you start the hand stitched pieces and what fabric do you use as a back ground? The one that grabbed my attention was the one you did a while ago, with buttons and a mirror sewn on.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ATCs Lorna (like the one I got he he). Lovely to see picks of your family too.

ReplyDeleteThanks Catherine, Astrid and Lay Hoon I really enjoyed making these ..I just have to use as many colours as I can ....just can't be subtle ....xx ( Catherine I have answered you on your blog x)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorna, I was pleased with the bundles and contents. Looking forward to some time to play with the pieces, but still renovating!
