Back from a long weekend at the farm with my three grandsons 5,4, and 3. Had a great time, now I can get busy sewing! Should have my card finished by Wednesday.

First I appreciate all the positive comments about my health, but I am apologizing for posting. Everyone has something and this is a place for peace, and to be positive, and to be uplifted. I didn't intend to mire anyone down, I just unloaded sorry,,,,,,,,,,,but I do feel lots of support here..............that being said.........
my card is finished. My partner spoke of liking haunted houses well..........with the stretch of the imagination it could be. Her cards are magnificent. She can sew in addition she also draws......................so on the wings of a bat it will be in the mail on Tuesday. Thanks for posting about no mail tomorrow...........sheesh................calla/Sue

Ladies, I am posting a link for you to look at, http://www.quiltingboard.com/general...t-t270526.html. If you know Elizabrat, one of our board members and an active swap host for about a year, she could use prayers and encouragement. If you pm frenchfryqueen http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...n-u107019.html she will give you "Brat's" address. A handmade postcard may brighten her day if you have the time. She is on the waiting list for a kidney. She is not doing really well. She has been waiting a long time. A bit of cheer via card or postcard would be welcome. It is up to you If you want to send or not. I am working on my tonight and am going to mail out tomorrow morning.

Oops I just re-read the rules of this swap...........and I see that I have been focused on the term "postcard" thinking size. I overlooked the sewing or appliqué part. Therefore I have not always followed the rules.......I am sorry and will do better. Calla

Thanks for the previous post........being sick is the pits

Judith1005

Calla, I am sorry you are also having your medical challenges as well. Your right, being sick is the pits. Getting older or dealing with an ongoing illness is definitely not for scissy's.

And, as far as not meeting the challenges of the postcards, I think you have. Basically, any sewing medium that has some sewing or quilting meets the challenge. Basically, what doesn't is paper postcards. Although, I have seen some pretty nice Artist Trading Cards made out of paper. But, we are a quilting/sewing group. So, fabric must be used in some way. Be it a little or a lot.

Pam, that sounds like fun. I love visiting with my grands also. I always have such fun.

Calla, if it is the idea of Halloween and I pair you wrong, I am sure your partner will like FALL also. I know owlvamp really well. We have met in person. I know she would like FALL also.
