I've been a little busy trying to sort out my sewingroom. I used to able to put my hand on whatever I needed.
Now...
Things are moved around a little.
I still have a lot of stuff upstairs in a storage room. Some large pieces of fleece, some knits, and battings.
I have a small storage space under the stairs, but the mister uses that for his golf clubs.
Well, we now have a whole lot more storage in the garage.....maybe he can keep them in there for the winter.....
I have been doing a little sewing.
I finally started (and finished) my ATC's.
And EXCHANGED them!
I had an idea in my mind what I wanted to do.
But that's not what I did do.
I started with a 12 square of hand dyed fabric.
I wanted to highlight the swirls of colour with stitched flowers, but I ended up just quilting flowers.
I then cut the 12 inch square into 6 card sized pieces.
I then fussy cut a yellow-gold flower and fused, then sewed that down to each card.
Next I fussy cut butterflies, 2 of each....then fused 2 back to back so that they were double sided.

| Mary Jane's |
Couched some Ricky Tims "razzle dazzle" heavyweight thread to the edges for a bit of sparkle, then zigzagged the edges to attach the paper post card to the back.
MaryJane's is layered, framed and quilted
Pam did a super job on this one...it's woven!

| Janice's |
Janice appliqued (turned edge), quilted and embellished hers with braid and a cute little dragonfly charm.
Everyone seemed pleased with the ATC's they received, and a lot of people signed up again for next year!
And so did I!
