Stunning! I'd like to know about the pattern as well.
Pictures have been taken and it is now up on blog (as well as on mine!)
Thanks Leslie. I'm still getting everything sorted out....even had to go and buy p.j.'s!
MIne arrived yesterday - That's a week to get from the UK to Australia and part of that was a weekend! What a task it must have been, cutting out all those leaves? Thanks Jane!
Glad you like it Allyson and I am relieved it has arrived safely. Post to SA seems to take quite a long time, doesn't it?
Lorna, your lovely ATC arrived yesterday! Thank you so much for a lovely detailed piece. I will take its picture and post it on the blog soon.
Leslie, I know its a bit early but your card is in the mail! I am off into hospital next week and i didn't want to miss mailing it in all the fuss that goes on with not being at home.
Profile Information
- What aspect of textiles are you interested in?
- Over time I have dabbled in knitting, macrame, embroidery, tapestry, printing, cloth dolls, the occasional teddy and patchwork and quilting. All of these areas have contributed to making me a fabric and thread junkie - and I love to play!
- Where did you learn your textle skills?
- My Gran was my first tutor - she showed me how to enjoy making things and she had the patience to help a four year old to master a pair of knitting needles. Primary school introduced me to stitching and secondary to the treadle machine and making clothing. Art Major at college.
- Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??
- I love to play with colour - and I am known for buying threads just because they are delicious dollops of texture not because I have a project in mind!

Mary Lou Davis said… - Robbie, Your stunning card arrived today. So many layers to explore. The turquoise yarn was a surprising pop of color. The bits of cooper were standouts. Was the yellow leaf on top a painted dryer sheet? My husband who does our laundry has been collecting dryer sheets for me and you got me inspired to explore these in more ways than I had imagined. Thank you again.

- Hi Robbie,
I'm replying to your query on the Textile ATCs forum. Have you not made any ATCs before? They are along the same lines as the fabric postcards, but smaller - 2.5 x 3.5 inches to be exact. If you have a look at the blogs or photo albums of the girls in the ATC group, you'll get a pretty good idea of what they do. With the Halloween swap, I'll pair you up with another member of the group. You contact each other to exchange names and addresses, and send your ATC off when you've made it! Like FPCs, you can use anything you like to decorate your ATC - beads, felt, embroidery, material of any kind. As long as it has some kind of link to Halloween. I have a man's tie with stars and moons all over it, and I'm going to use that as a base, and stitch a black cat or a witches hat or something on to it!
