...Mail art and SBQ...

First day of Spring….not here!!! Here is autumn :o( !!!

It’s a long time since I post last time but the time is always little (the question is to stitch or to post…and I have chosen to stitch several time!!:o) and last week I was ill again…this year is a tragedy!!! I’m always sickly :o( I hope that hot days arrive soon!!!

This week I work on my SBEBB Spring Exchange…and it’s almost finished!!!

As Bea,my secret partner in EMS Italian Mail art exchange, has received the envelope I stitch for her I can share the photo of my work (this is my first envelope and working on it was quite hard): the theme was Saint Valentine or Spring so I choose a Lizzie&Kate some pattern from “Sunshine Crossing” I enclose some gift for Bea a Gentle art floss and a piece of an heart pattern for her quilt:


Some progress for the March Flip It…I like this Irish design!!!

Today(Last week)'s SBQ is:

Do you stitch "over one?" If so, describe your experiences. If not, have you considered it?

No I have never stitched over one….aida 18 is quite hard enough for me and my eyes!!!

Hi Chiara - I love your mail art!!! It is autumn in Italy? Or is it just that the temps feel that way?? I am a bit confused...

Your mail art is wonderful! I need to try making one myself.

Your LK Flip it is looking great, too!

Your mail art is so pretty! Your L*K flip-it looks great. I decided to change the fabric on mine while I was still doing the border. *blush* So now I'm just waiting for the new fabric to arrive. I can't wait to start on it.

I'm confused too! You say you are Italian, but I guess that's not where you live, lol!
