When I added a project from Welcome to the North Pole to my FAL Q4 list it was with a rather large end product in mind. Well life has a funny old way of changing your plans and idea doesn't it?!
So I did make something ..... in fact I made three things, all fabric postcards for Christmas. This was inspired by a swap over on a FB group I am a member of. The size requirements were minimum 6"x4" to a maximum 7"x5". Mine finished up at 7"x5" and are made up of 4 layers: the top layer which is applique with Heat 'n Bond, wadding, very stiff iron on Vilene and finally a piece of calico for the back.
I really like how this turned out and it was hard to send it off! Luckily my swap partner loved it too.
Two other people loved it aswell ..... my daughters! So, of course, some more had to be made for them for Christmas.
They got to open them on Christmas Eve, along with a Christmas decoration. They were really happy to have one of their own each and they looked lovely on the mantelpiece over the holiday period. Now I just need to start my 'large project' sooner rather than later in order for it to be done in time for Christmas 2061! x
Those are wonderful and will be treasured for years.
