Next step was to make a triangle shaped stencil out of a 4x6 index card and brush a light layer of green to each of the fabric pieces.
Then came the print with the thermofax screen.
Once they were all printed it was back inside to StudioA to add a scattering of french knots to each tree.
Next up was fusing the fabric to timtex.
Muslin was cut and fused to the back of each. Then on to the sewing machine to finish the edges.
Final step before addressing and mailing was to glue a star on the top of each tree.
Done!
Yesterday I quilted my indigo piece, all thats left to do is the sleeve, label and decent photography.

Your cards are utterly charming. I'm sure they will be cherished by the recipients.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, love you Christmas tree postcards.
ReplyDeleteYour screen printed postcards are so cute! I stamped mine this year using a stamp I cut in the spring, and it's so fun to see the variation from card to card.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing your sketches. I, too, have to sketch, doodle, draw and eventually, something I like comes out of my hand. I like how you use embroidery in your quilts. I've recently started using embroidery floss on a quilt and finding I really like the effect I'm getting. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb.
DeleteOh those cards are so cute and creative, love this new leaf.
ReplyDeleteLove your Christmas postcards. The French knots and the stars are the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful cards! Love the embellishments that make them sparkle!
