1st Postcard

I have made my first postcard - here it is. Not too special, but I thought I'd have a go. I have been trying to post this photo for about 24 hrs. It was taken side on then flipped, which is why it looks kinda funny.

I posted it to my 7 yo nephew Daniel, who is into art. He takes an art class one afternoon a week, so I am trying to turn him into a fibre artist! I have a sneaky plan to snare him - there is a house here on the island which is known as The Bum House. The roof is very funny - it has 2 humps on it like the cheeks of a bum. Being 7, and very amused by toilet humour, Daniel finds the Bum House very funny. So my next postcard will be of said house - see how he likes that in his letterbox!

I haven't been doing too much else quilty as I have been working nights and have been very tired. I slept right through the night after sleeping in the day yesterday, so of course I woke up at 03.30 this morning. I got up before dawn and caught up on my bloglines. I also made some HS Triangles with Triangles on a Roll. I have only used Thangles before. Heavens to Bettsy - they are 1 1/2 " finished, not 3", so they won't be much help to you for your project.
I made them out of black and white prints so that I can do a border ala Collaborative Quilting.

Then I made some scones, and went to the Craft Group. I know - shocking isn't it to have done all that before 09.00hrs! Did some hexagon work at the Craft Group, then have been over on Russell Island this arvo looking at land to buy, with a friend. Busy busy busy. I know I will sleep well tonight.

As for the Aqua, Lime and Orange quilt, it is still up on the wall. I have made a few changes to the blue and green to lighten it up a bit, and I think it is ready to go. I have bought some batting and plain white fabric for the back, so will get onto it soon. The way I'm supposed to be constructing it is a little different from a normal quilt. I will lay the squares on the batting and backing, then apply the strips over the top as cover strips. My main concern is getting the strips straight, so I think I will draw some sort of grid on the batting first. Maybe later in the week LOL!
