Wolf, those are awesome. I usually play in my swaps. I especially like to play when there are beautiful cards. Ilove the colors of yours and how the stitching accents them.
 
I inherited a sewing machine from my mother. I am hoping that some of her sewing skills have lingered on the machine.
 
Meeeeeeee - I shall happily send cards in! :biglaugh:

I like combining postage stamps and machine stitching. My embroidery floss-ified stitched cards would work for this too, right? I hope? I like having an excuse to crack out the floss & plastic canvas. :wubclub:
 
I see stitches as thread or some fiber going in and out of something, usually making lines.

I'll think of you making cards for this swap while I am playing with beeswax for cards for your swap!
 
Yes.....originally I thought these might be fabric cards and then someone sent me a stitched ATC that had a paper background. and I have at hand some abstract ATC paper backgrounds that I want to try stitching on.
 
Nancy would these work? I had drawn them, transfer to an embroidery design, and stitch on felt. I actually made an extra one, and if they qualify, please tell me which 4 you like the best!

They are completely secured to cardstock, and look much better in person!
