The Accidental Embroiderer

More things for the fair

The bags I mentioned last week are all very well, but a dozen little bags aren't really enough to make a good display, so I thought I'd make a few embroidered cards to go with them. These are a lot easier than the bags – you just need to embroider a small design and then stick it into a blank card, the kind you can easily buy from craft suppliers. The result is really quite nice – the embroidery makes a good show against the paper mount, and the cards are a little bit different from most of the printed cards you find. Not all these are Christmas designs, of course, but they're colourful and would do for a general purpose greeting card

Cards for the fair

So it's off tomorrow to set up the stall. If there are any Aberdeenshire residents out there, the fair is in Alford Public Hall, between 10 and 4. It would be great to see you there!

  1. If I could be there, I would purchase several of your cards. They are beautiful. Our church is part of a Craft Extravaganza tomorrow and I have baked bread. I could trade you white, cheese, Swedish rye, hearty wheat, raisin, or apple bread for a card or two. Good luck.
