hardhatcat, ofenjenand dragonsinger954. So that means I have 3 more up for trade. They are called "the good ole' days" as when ofenjenmade a reference when you could get HP merchandise anywhere...lol I so love that reference....lolI also finished my ATC for the HP_crafter swap! I made 16 of them and have 4 left over to share to! I worked so hard on these and everything has a meaning to it. The theme is your favorite HP family.
The back ground of each one is patched together with all my tiny scraps of left over fabric, this is represents the family and how they also make do with what they have. I can imagine Molly making a quilt like this for her family. Then is the mailbox represents Author's love of muggle things, notice that it has flowers growing out of it. Some how it got charmed....lol And the star represent all the magic around the family. And the stitching around the edge around the ATC is red and yellow for the Gryffindor house colors and how each family member was in Gryffindor! I loved making these! They were so much fine and time consuming! I have 4 left if you wanna trade!
I finished another series of ATC last night! I finally wrote on the back of them. I couldn't think of a clever name, *BlaH* The reason I made these is this...One of the quilters in my group, (the same one that got me into ATC) had some scrap fabric she has a 6in x6 in fabric from something she made her son. It was so cute but I had no idea at the time what the heck to do with it. Now I realized i saved it from the thrift shop for a reason I made these cards out of that little piece of fabric! It is called Vintage baby boy...i know so genertic but I couldn't think of anything clever enough! I think these are so sweet. There will be 3 up for grabs.
Here is my first attempt at a post card before I even started ATC. It was also my first time trying at free motion sewing
And the swap I am in at www.art2mail.com has offically been filled! I made a sweet post card. Not sure if I will use it but it was fun to do!
The first series is called Autumn's Blossom
And the second series is called Parisian Spring
Let me know if you have a fabric ATC or other ATC you would like to swap for one of mine. Just let me know which set and number you would like to trade with. Don't mind my spelling errors on the photos :P

Here are some great links for how to do it!!

 You are open minded and extremely optimistic. You enjoy almost all facets of life. You can find the good in almost anything. You keep yourself busy with tons of friends, activities, and interests. You find it hard to turn down an opportunity, even if you are pressed for time. Your friends find you fascinating, charming, and easy to talk to.
