| Christmas in September |
| Friday, September 19, 2008 |
That was the name of my first 2008 MA exchange. For some reason I just can't resist doing Christmas Ma's and so, This is the MA I received from my partner.
 .
Kirsi was who I sent mine to.Click on her name and you can see the one I did for her.
My latest stitching finish. I used the Lemon Lime cool aid mix to dy my fabric for this one. I ironed it wet and it gave me a cool spider like effect. By that I mean the lines of the wadded fabric became really dark and it looks like a spider web. The design was from the Plain and Fancy Collection - Pumpkin's A Plenty 11 Leaflet given to me as a PIF. I want to do all the pumpkins but they may have to wait till next year.
 
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. |

Love the envelope and pumpkins! They are cute!

Both the MA are great. I love looking at those, however, I don't know how you're brave enough to actually risk sending them through the mail.
Your Pumpkin is adorable, and I love the fabric. The spiderweb effect is perfect for it. You mention you used lemon/lime koolaid to dye it, how did you do that? I'd love to make some green fabric like that, I can think of several Halloween designs I have it would be perfect for.
