Textile Postcard Project Week #117

December 29th  2019 - January 4th 2020

Let's ring the New Year in --
This bell is a decoration that I made years ago and used on our Christmas tree. Now it is time to Ring in the year of 2020..I find it difficult to believe that 20 years of the 21st Century have already gone by.

Textile Postcard Project Week #116

 December 22nd - 28th 2019 
Several years ago I took part in a Christmas Swap activity. This card was done by a member of Saturday Quilters. It is beautifully embroidered and bound.

Here is a close up view of one corner which shows the machine quilting and hand embroidery.

Textile Postcard Project Week # 114

December 8th - 14th 2019

I have used this Christmas card which was sent to me, some years ago, by my Japanese pen friend. 
It has not been made from textiles but I considered it had some textile aspects to it. #1 it has a hexagon pattern on it, as many old quilts had and #2 it has beads attached to it. The near view photo shows this quite clearly.

Textile Postcard Project Week # 113

 December 1st -7th 2019

'Christmas is nigh!' A gold stitched card with stars seems significant as the Christmas Season draws near. I was given this tiny card, but it is a pity it has not been stitched more clearly.

Gold stars and lattice work do show up in these photos but, sadly, not very clearly
