Red Theme Mail Art From Margaret

Actually the theme for this exchange was Red/Blue theme but most of the members chose Red Theme. Margaret went to the PO to get it post marked and was the 'postman' herself delivered to me during the Stitching Bee....^_* Quaker design stitched on evenweave.



I just love this closing. The ribbon was weave through the fabric and tied at both ends. I am going to copy this closing on my next MA...


The goodies inside; some speciality floss and a card or I thought it was a card until I opened it. Forgot to take a pic but there are actually needles inside. Not just a few but 2 rows of them.!!!

Thanks for a great exchange Margaret.

Mail Art from Lody.

This is a personal exchange between Lody and I. I still have not decided what to stitch but Lody has already sent this with some other things together in a package to Margaret. It arrived just in time for our Stitching Bee last Saturday for Margaret to passed to me.

The back
and it actually opened up to this...


Isn't it pretty? It is Lody's own design and 100% hand-sewn! Supposed to be the size just nice for a cheque book. But our cheque books are bigger here. ^_* There are partition inside and I thought of using it for a purse.

Thanks again Lody, now I must go figure what to stitch for you.

Red Theme MA exchange for Taija

I had mailed this Mail Art out on the 11th of June and it arrived at Taija's on the 18th.


I stitched this MA on 18th ct white DMC Aida. Normally, I use 14ct Aida. Which reminds me that I forgot to answer Emily's question about her MA. Emily, it 14ct... ^_*

Here's the back of the MA. I love this pair of birds. Those of you who are stitching EMS Rose Sampler might find it very familiar....

Mail Art all the way from Belgium

I don't normally go home in the afternoon but I did today to collect something for courier to Penang... that's another story. And looked what I found in the Mailbox...


A very colourful and cute Teddy MA for an exchange at Mail Art Friends from Janien who lives in Belgium. It is also the heaviest MA that I ever received. I never knew one can pack so much in a MA... and a bar of chocolate, too. LOL!! I am absolutely amazed.



Thank you, Janien for a fabulous Mail art.
