Postcards

I have been a member  ( I have two accounts) of Postcrossing over 2 years, I love receiving Postcards from all over the world, and sending them. But I thought what a brilliant idea to receive some from my friends so I set up a Postcard exchange on A Crafty Natter and I have received some wonderful postcards the exchange still isn't over yet as I have some coming from overseas.
The Royal mail did destroy one of them, but it is the first one that it has happened to in two years.
It is a wonderful cheap way of sending exchanges.

Here is some actual stitching by me, but not for me, it is for the charity quilt we are doing over on a Crafty Natter for the Cats P raffle which is in September on their open day. When my friend Colly has made it up I will share a photo of it all finished in all it's glory.
.
I am plodding on with my crochet though and my hexie quilt still making up the flowers.I have just had some more fabric from a lady at the stitchy group I go to, lots of Laura Ashley fabric some is the same age as myself!
Thank you for continuing to visit and leaving  comments. I just wish I had more to share!

Pretties!

This is my Speciality stitch RR, that I have received back today, I took part in this RR with some friends on the Crafty Natter forum.
It's an RR with a difference instead of the usual cross stitch, we did a Band sampler and we all stitched 3 bands each and at least one band had to be cutwork.
We were supposed to do the first three bands, I have still yet to finish my top band, and I will add two more at the bottom.

I chose to use a linen called Copper, sorry can't remember any other details about the fabric, and some basic colours which I would like.
I have to say I am really pleased with the result.

An update on my hexie quilt, I have over fifty hexie flowers now and still going on with the fabric, just received some from Norway today.

I am loving doing these!!

Thank you for stopping by
