    Postcard Challenge week 4

    January 27, 2012 - By 

     

    In this weeks edition, Thadeus sends Maggie a greeting from China on a postcard with a beautiful old drawing of ancient farmers sowing seeds.

    I had started trying to draw a dragon head but it was going quite poorly. It didn’t look anything like a Chinese dragon. More Nordic, so I went with a page from a children’s book about grains of the world.
    I also happened to have a very old postage stamp from China to use. Again, I continued the postmark to give it a bit of authenticity.  I must admit that sometimes get caught up in the minutia of things…

    Thadeus explains that he found something in an old book and is searching for answers. He hints at the chance of something wonderful. His hand seems rushed or nervous as he writes. I wonder what is sending him off balance?

    Free motion practice

    January 23, 2012 - By 
    I got my sewing machine back and my free motion foot.
    As promised, the gal at the sewing place showed me how to use it. She even gave me this practice piece of “quilt sandwich” to take home.
    It is so fun!
    Of course, I’m breaking the “rules” right away by stitching over my previous stitch line but I’ve never been much for sticking to the rules anyway.
