Thank you, SewExtreme. I sure hope it works too. Guess we will find out soon! And I don't think I'll be making that mistake again.....at least I hope I don't.

I just mailed my two cards. Excited because this is my first swap.

Mailed mine today! I apologize to recipients for my sloppy hand stitching around the edges, but since my machine died I didn't have any way to do them but by hand, and Hemi insisted on helping by bumping my hand with almost every stitch!!!!!!

Anxious to see the ones coming to me!

Thanks for the swap!
Photos of my two sent below

Debs; what lovely cards and I like the way you hand sewed around the outside edges.

Great cards Debs.

Just finished my cards. Now, to photograph them, post them and run into town to mail them. Whew, a lot of concern over 2 - 3.5" x 5" cards. You would think I had built a king size quilt! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

1. "My love of sewing": My Mom tells me that I wanted to sew at a very young age but she felt too inadequate to teach me. She learned from her Aunt in her Aunt's bridal and formal gown factory as a teenager... sew you know she was taught well and sews very well. That love was passed on to me as I watched her sew all of our clothes while I was growing up. I am so thankful. In 7th grade I learned to sew in home ec class on a treadle. I love sewing and crafts of all kinds. I consider myself a Jackie-of-all-trades and master of none.

2. "Objects of my desire": I am passionate about studying the Bible and learning all I can. After this, loving my DH comes next.

Then, sewing, quilting, collecting vintage machines, lots of hand embroidery, painting, etc., learning all I can from those who so freely share on the Quilting Board, FMQ, using water color pencils with fabric, paper piecing, hot pink in fabric and clothing (although, bright yellow is my new 2nd love) and swapping on the board!

The pink card represents my interest in dense FMQ and coloring fabric with watercolor pencils. The yellow/black/white card represents paperpiecing and my new interest in yellow. It really pops with black and white. (It can't replace hot pink though)

Now, it's off to the post office. I am sending mine in envelopes.
