I spent the afternoon working on this postcard. At first I was in the process of cutting out purple fabric for a quilt I'm working on. But as I was cutting, out of the blue, I thought that four of these purple triangles would look great on a postcard. So I fiddled with them on a blank 4x6 piece of peltex and started adding more fabrics. Then I thought to myself, it would look great with some hand embroidery on it. So I got out my DMC floss and fiddled around. I am still a beginner hand embroiderer and this is the first time I have done straight stitching to make a design, but I think it turned out lovely. Now I just need to decide who should receive this in the mail. :)

Must be a post card making kind of day where you are too! Here, it is damp and cold outside--a good day to stay inside and sew. Nice post card! I like the hand embroidery!
