 There's nothing going on around here except for postcard making. I had 2 more sets of Christmas postcards to make and 1 set of birthday cards. This is my second Christmas card design. I've been wanting to make a stocking design for a while and I found the perfect fabric in my stash.  This year I've taken the approach to start all of my design by finding something in my stash and building the design from the fabric. My friend gave me these 3 fabrics last year to make American Girl dresses for Ella. Honestly, I had forgotten about the but unearthed the bag while looking for something else. I don't have any in-process photos. I started these over Thanksgiving break and was heads down focused. I can share that this is some really sturdy fabric and it easily took the hottest iron setting with steam!  I made 24 of them and they actually came together pretty quickly in production mode.  Since finishing those I also made a set of birthday cards and I'll share those once I know that the first one was received. This weekend I started on the last set of Christmas cards. These are the most involved of the bunch.....of course.

Vicki - for the many years I've known you, I still cannot grasp the complexity of your exquisite designs and craftsmanship. Your designs, fabric, colors, embellishments, and stitching blow me away. Simply lovely! 12/6/2021 01:22:51 pm
The stockings are EXCELLENT and just so much fun. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the Nadlestern-ish cutouts.

The last set is going to be amazing. Is that Paula Nadelstern scraps you are using? 12/7/2021 08:09:43 am
Definitely the perfect fabric for stockings! The fabric for the birthday cards is so fun, too! You've been busy :-)

I think I once had some of that red sparkly fabric in my stash...wonder if it's still there. Don't think so because I can't remember seeing it in recent times. No matter, it makes perfect stockings! Comments are closed.
