The Postcard Challenge

We are expecting rain today–and we need it!

I wouldn’t mind a rainy day. Not at all.

At our last meeting, the Charleston Modern Quilt Guild organized a giant postcard swap for all the members. Anyone who filled out an envelope’s address then was given another member’s filled out envelope. None of us knew who had OUR envelope–which would be sent to us in the mail and, then, the postcard each of us received would be shared next meeting in October.

Here’s the postcard I made and mailed–using some of my favorite sheep/knitting fabric.

I used light fabric on the back for the message I wrote.

I’m still going down the rope bowl rabbit hole.

Here’s a recent picture–minus my least favorite one with the green bands of fabric, which went upstairs to hold the yarn for the bowls. And, minus the one with pale blue fabric that is now on the kitchen bar as it has been put to work holding the hand-knitted little hand towels I use to dry my hands.

I’m really liking that big deep

You can see how big that blue bowl is in this picture:

And here’s the bowl on the kitchen bar. It is the perfect size for the hand towels.

I am not as fond of using fabric strips as I am the yarn. (Thanks again for this method to Rick Sanchez and his video demonstrating how to use the yarn.) But I also like the “just plain” bowls. They are elegant to my mind.

The bowls will be gifts. Of course they will. And my gift is the total fun I’m having making them.
