The Great Big Stitched Postcard Swap - Part 2

My last post was about the postcard I made for Do What You Love’s Great Big Stitched Postcard Swap – now I’ll tell you about the postcard I received in return.


One very rainy morning last October (yes, four months ago!), my poor post lady delivered my soggy and falling-apart post. However, a package from UK-based freelance crafter Emy was perfectly intact.

Using the ‘Celebrate’ theme, Emy had created a felted image of Chinese lanterns in beautiful blue and purple tones. She free stitched the outline of the lanterns, and added little yellow beads to signify the ones floating off into the distance. It’s a very dreamy and image, and it’s lovely when you receive something you would buy yourself. Thank you Emy! See more of her work here. emyscraftyblog.blogspot.com

Do What You Love are organising another swap at the moment, with the theme 'Create'. Registration closes tomorrow so there's still time to participate - sign up here.
