Last week I shared my blue Shibori Sea postcards. When I was pulling out the scraps to make them I could lots of other colors of "sky" fabrics and got a little carried away. But I use my postcards so fast that making a lot of these simple designs wasn't a bad idea. Each set is simple: sky fabric (all are leftover postcard backing fabrics), sea Shibori fabric, yarn horizon and one element in the sky. I added a gull in the blue cards. In this one I used a metallic thread to stitch a hint of clouds in the sky.
I have 2 sewing machines in my sewing room. One is all set up for postcards and the other is set up for making dog blocks. I can sit down to work on either project without having to move anything. My mood can dictate what I work on. I only made a couple of these cards because I only had two pieces of the sky fabric. But I'm really happy with how they turned out. I'm calling them Autumn Sea.

Your newest postcards, with the Shibori fabrics are very serene and calming, and I love them. I've enjoyed seeing every one you create and had never seen anything like them, till I started following your blog. Your friends and family must have quite a collection of them to treasure and appreciate.

This is a great way to show off your shibori fabric too - a win/win. And the bliss of having two machines set up to work on...I can but dream. Hoping that PMS Albatross will commit the ultimate sacrifice and throw herself off the balcony and put herself out of her misery. I can always hope! Comments are closed.
