I have organized a Postcrossing meet-up here in my town...it's tomorrow already. I had this goal of making a fabric postcard for eveyone who attends. Luckily, it should be a small group of five to ten. I've been using up scraps of quilting projects, the arylic artist ink doodles, old transfers I never did anything with, and some wool pressed in fusible (whatever that's called!). Here's a few cards I've made.
I am also working on another doll. Ruby Street Quiltworks, here in Olympia, is having a challenge this month to make something using the ribbons they sell. They have so many beautiful embroidered ribbons but I have decided to use only one. I am making a little dress and accessories from it. I started a purse and I am still working on a little cape-like wrap. I hope to have her finished this week. I promise she'll be on here soon.
Here's a bit of what I have so far...

Dogwood...that goes for you too!

I'm comin' for a visit .. you are having too much fun Katie. Love the post cards ... and the doll is going to be exquisite. I need to know the kind (brand) of paper clay you use. I ordered something from Dick Blick for dolls and it is NOT paper clay ... it's called stone clay. I don't think that's what I had in mind ... but then who knows??! ha ha Love your blog .. so inspiring to come here, Katie.
Thanks Donna! I use Creative Paperclay. I get it at Michaels. I'm sure it's online...
Those postcards are awesome! Have fun at your meetup!
Thanks for your lovely comment Katie please drop by again.Your fabric postcards are lovely and the quilted book with the heart on is fab! Blessings. Maisie.
Fabric postcards? A neat idea, I love them!
These are amazing. :)))
Love your artsy stuff! (being an artsy fan myself)...and TOTALLY LOVE your interview with mail carrier, John! He is one of my favorite people on the face of the earth and is LONG overdue for recognition for a job he's done so well for so long. If only my sister had married him, I wouldn't have to consider him my "honorary/adopted" brother-in-law, but my REAL B-I-L!!!! (Ask John about his cats!)
