More cards that were posted today, this tree I thread painted, fingers crossed this one will arrive, the last one went missing! Where do they go? These are for a 'Best Foot Forward' swap, I used my FME foot to make these.
Oh I had fun making these cards, 'A Girl's Best Friend' is the theme, so obviously my machine is mine... you would never have guessed would you!!! First I took pictures of all my threads, see a previous post for them, then I printed them all on the special fabric for printers, did the same with the machine picture, made a mini quilt of it, and placed it on the threads. There is a message, if you click on the picture, you may be able to read it not sure. Then, because at least 2 embellishments had to be on it, I curled some of the threads I used on the cards and stitched them to the side. Voila!
These four QTC's are re sends, the people didn't get the cards first time of sending, again...where do they all go? Good thing I had made extra originally....whew, only now I don't have one myself. o well!
OH, this is for a very Special lady I have only recently been in contact with, I do hope she will like this card. I may just do another as I am not too happy with it really....
Lots of cards sent out today, very pleased with myself, like the cat who ate the cream!!!

Jan, once again I'm awed by your talents with fabric and thread. I love your thread painted tree, your cards featuring your thread they are great and the others are just simply awesome.
What creative inspirations!
Thanks for sharing!!!

Noel, thank you for your kind comments, again, I am not too sure about some of the trees I have done, although they are only from my imagination, I cannot draw, real things, unlike you me dear. The threads just cried out to be used as a background fabric, I am sure I will use them again in the future.

Jan, I love the card for the Special lady, what do you call that colour? I love the feather design, clever girl XX Kath

Hi Kath, the Special Lady is Helen, she is the lady who gives away quilts if you remember, I told her I would send her a postcard as she hadn't seen them before. She has received it and likes it, I wasn't too pleased with it so am going to do another for her, she deserves better. Anyway, the fabric I am sure is a makower Spraytime....then again I could be wrong, heehee. I enjoy doing feathers and trees, as you no doubt have sussed out by now!!
