Long Weekend

This long weekend I have been busy making Postcards and OTC's for swaps that I am in on my internet groups. The three sets are going to Diana in NZ for her NO theme swap and the other cards are for my overseas group. These cards will be posted later. The Cards that are in the following photo's were for swaps in August/September.

60's Fabric Postcard.

This very 60's fabric postcard arrived in my mailbox today from Lily in the USA.

I am having fun doing these 1 to 1 postcard swaps.

Beautiful FQ's.

These are the lovely FQ's I brought from a stall today at Wenty's Quilters Show. They are just lovely and what great PC's and OTC's they could make but the Batiks will have to join the others in my stash. I have this problem that I only see blues and purples when I buy. I will have to learn to get out of my safety zone and add more colours. The Quilts were lovely and very pretty with lots to look at.

Well done Wentworth Quilters.

Silly me forgot my camera.

Swap cards.

These eight glorious Fabric ATC's arrived in my mailbox on Monday from a swap that I did with Ladies on one of my Aussie groups.

Reef 1 is from Jenni.

Black with gold thread is from Jane.

Cyclamen Orchid is from Diana.

Red Flower is from Sue.

Purple "Cosmos" is from Norma.

Fuzzy Flower is from Pam,

Rosa is from Helen and the last one is from our great Atc Hostess Lessa.

First FPC.

Today I received my first ever Fabric Postcard.

This lovely Oriental FPC was made by Ann. A lady that I swapped with on 1 on 1 exchange on one of my internet groups.

Craft Show.

Looking forward to the craft show at Rosehill this coming week as I would like to get some embroidery threads from Royal as the company has all these gorgeous colours. My 350e class is doing next month a beautiful Hatched in African Peacock as a class project and I need more colours. We are putting the peacock on black homespun. I would also like to get some felting wool to do some Atc's for the next cancer swap that Cecile will be hosting later this year.

My Other Hobby..

I love to grow plants and my favourite plant is African Violets which I have been growing for over 18 years. I grow them under lights and have had in the past three light stands which my Darcy is sitting on. My DH is a Electrician and that helps as he can wire up the wooden stands for me. Here are some photo's of my flowering plants and my little helper Darcy again.
