My first time - not really OT ;)

I made my first fabric postcard this morning.

http://community.webshots.com/photo/...35982286tpZBxr

I am not sure if the result justifies the amount of work that went into
it - like spending half of the morning searching for the instructions to
my sewing machine so I could use the fancy stitches .

What do you all think?

Hugs,

Maria

Howdy!

Delightful.

As are your bookmarks
and your other crafty items.

The postcard was worth the time and effort, Maria. Delightful!

Well, I think that, as long as you enjoyed doing it, the results are
certainly worth the effort!

The picture part is really good, Maria.
And, yes, it does justify time spent finding out how to do the stitches.
Only thing I would say (since you asked) is that, if you are going to
make more of these fun little art works, I would advise a little more
practice with getting a good satin stitch for the edges. I believe
Leslie (who has done a *lot* of these) goes round twice - the second
time with a slightly wider stitch. You would then cover all the base
fabric/batting and the little 'whiskers' wouldn't show.
Have I got that right Leslie?
Very good indeed for a first attempt - I haven't even made one yet!
