Happy Mail!
Look at the wonderful treasures that arrived in my mailbox last week!
I received a card from my best friend since 5th grade. (She is sooo much better at staying in touch than I am!)
This gorgeous dragonfly card arrived from my crazy quilting friend, Sharyn. She is also participating in InCoWriMo (International Correspondence Writing Month.)
Just look at the sweet laces she sent for me to play with. I am feeling quite spoiled.
And I love the wax seal on the envelope!
My blogging friend from Creatology offered to swap letters with me during InCoWriMo. Imagine my surprise when this beautiful fabric card she created slipped out of the envelope. I just LOVE it! It is so pretty.
And, as part of the CQI 2017 Valentine Postcard Swap, I received this beautiful piece of art from Diana Williams. I love the Valentine fabrics, the tiny beads around the heart buttons, and the little Valentine letters the sweet birds are carrying. It's just gorgeous!
I hope Diana doesn't mind me sharing her sweet note. Several of my recent posts have discussed making fabric postcards. The back of this one is made with fabric. I love that it is personalized and also mentions her name, the name of the swap, and the year for me to look back upon.
I do hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Thank you for stopping by.

This is a wonderful way of sharing the joy of making, giving and receiving textile art.
Your received mail is all fun and very creative. I am happy I was able to participate. Happy mail certainly is much better than bills and junk mail. <3

I love this kind or textile art and have often seen these postcards on German blogs.
That's a beautiful collection that you received.
Oh what fun it would be to get the mail at your house. So many pretties!! You deserve them. I've seen the pretties you are mailing too.
