Take It Further

I just finished up 3 postcards all of which were done with strips of fabrics and sheer circles over the strips. The sheers are positioned with straight stitch. Then I did machine embroidered circles.
It took me a while to get started on this month's challenge. I was visiting grandchildren and not near the studio. I'll be stitching Ultrasuede shapes on a wool background. I've been wanting to do hand stitching. The challenge was started by Sharonb http://sharonb.wordpress.com/

Those are beautiful, Sandy. The top one is a real stunner! Wish I was that good with fabric.

Love the circles on your postcard. It will be interesting to see what you do with the August TIF as well.

Love the postcard piece Sandy - gorgeous colours and lovely free stitching! Look forward to seeing your hand stitching (colours?) on your TIF piece. Val
