I made these post cards the other day. The floral one is for a swap. I think I will list the sock monkey in my Etsy store.

I also made this hummingbird fabric postcard for a friend. I don’t want to say who because she reads my blog. LOL. She will figure it out when she gets it in the mail this week. I drew the hummingbird with a black permanent fabric pen. I then used fabric markers to color it in and add detail. I am making a few Christmas gifts this way.

I made this fabric postcard for a swap bot partner who like sock monkeys. I embroidered it while watching TV the other night. It took about an hour. I looked at a few pictures on the internet and figured I could draw one of my own. My hubby is calling it a gym monkey. He said it looks like he has on a headband and wristbands. He is going to the gym to work out. LOL.

I received this beauty from June in NY. She was a swap partner from Swap Bot.

It is almost November and time for a new round of fabric postcard swapping. If you are interested in joining us go over to Brenda’s blog and leave her a comment. We have quite a few ladies swapping with us. It has been so much fun. You can make and send as many as you like and sit out when you want.

We got these wonderful fabric post cards in the mail this week. The top left is from Brenda. Very cool. She has way more patience then I do for that much satin stitching. She also made the one on the bottom right. She sent Tyler and Joshua each one. They love them. The top right is from Carol in Sweden. And the botton left is from Rhonda in Texas.

My momma sent me some money for my birthday. My birthday is tomorrow. I went to hobby Lobby this morning and bought myself some stuff. The jewelry making stuff was on sale. So I bought this chain and pendant for less than $5.00. Thanks mom.

Look at this lovely goody I received in the mail. Isn’t it gorgeous? I just love butterflies. How lucky am I to receive this gem? Very. Many thank yous Vicki in AZ. I also have to say,”Thank you” to Brenda for hosting such a fabulous fabric postcard swap. I have made some wonderful friends through it. October will be here soon so if you would like to join us in our endeavors of fabric postcard craftiness please do. Go to Brenda’s site and say I sent ya.

Here is a picture of Andrew taking his nap. Right now. It is so peaceful all I hear is the clock ticking, the dog barking, and the keyboard clicking. LOL.

Have a blessed day and leave me a comment if you want to be enter in the fat quarter drawing. I will draw a name October the 3rd.

It is hard to believe that I have reached 200 posts in less than 9 months. Where has the time gone? So I have decided to give away three items. For the 1st prize I made a Batik table runner. It measures 9 1/2 x 22 inches.

Here is the back.

Here is what 2nd place will get. A Moda Flannel Charm pack.

3rd place will get this fabric postcard I made.

I will announce the winners on Monday morning. So leave me a comment between now and Monday morning. Good luck.

Sunday I was able to get some sewing done for some swaps that I am in. Here are a few pictures of the blocks.

Here is a nine patch block that I received and a fabric postcard I received.

Brenda over @ The Quilt Journey is hosting a fabric postcard swap. It is so much fun. There are 4 of us so far. If anyone is interested in joining visit Brenda’s site and leave her a comment. We would love to have you join us. It is so easy and rewarding. Here is an example of one I mailed last time.

I made this log cabin candle mat this morning for one of my aunts who just had surgery. It measures 9 x 9 inches. And the best part is that it is made from using scraps. I didn’t have to buy anything. Yeah. Now I want to make some for myself.

I received this fabric postcard the other day from a swap partner named Dorothy. Isn’t it adorable. I love it.

Here are a few pictures of Andrew that I took yesterday. He is getting so big and fast. I put this bouncer together yesterday. We got it as a baby shower gift from some o the ladies at church. He seemed to like it.
