Fabric Postcards


This month I created a fabric postcard with the crazy quilt block I embellished and shared last month. 

While I was at it, I decided to make a second fabric postcard using a scrap of fabric from my stash. 
I love this "Christmas Spirit" fabric by Geoff Allen.


The backs are not perfect, but the colors are fun. 

There was one more finish this month, but it was mailed out early and has yet to be received. I will share it next month.

I am wishing you all a very productive, crafty month.
The big day is sneaking up on us...

Happy New Year 2016


Happy New Year to all elves and may we all have a very successful year in our merry little workshop. Thank you for all you have shared in previous years and I'm sure we are all looking forward to seeing pictures of all the amazing creations to make Christmas 2016 a Happy Handmade Christmas.

It's as simple as following these 3 steps:

1.  Get busy in the sewing room with

     a)   an item which you will use as a decoration in your home at Christmas  OR

     b)  an item to be given as a gift at Christmas  OR

     c)  one large project for the year and post your progress each month.

2.  Post a picture of your finished item (or progress on your large project) between the 25th and end of that month. Please use month 2016 in the label or the month in your title.

3.  No stress allowed ... no problem if you miss a month ... join in again when you can.

PLEASE NOTE:
Can I please ask participants to comment on this post or send an email -  pinsandwhiskers(at)gmail(dot)com - if you wish to take part in 1 Xmas Item A Month for 2016. Our door is always open and new Elves are most welcome to join us in the workshop.  I have already taken note of comments and added the following names as 2016 Elves.  Michell, Jeanette, Sisbabe, Raewyn, Maria in NC, Renee and Myself.
