Stitching Up Postcards

I've been spending time in front of the sewing machine doing one of my new favorite things--sewing paper!  I have been making a few postcards, candidates for the Great Big Stitched Postcard Swap being hosted by Beth at Do What You Love.

She reports that around 180 people from 20 countries across the world have signed up for the swap.  This marks the fourth swap she has hosted, and the theme this time around is "bloom." 

Truth be told, I kind of forgot about the theme while I was making the postcards.  Thank goodness, I think they still qualify!

My swap partner lives in Argentina.  Take a look at my three candidates, and let me know which one you think I should send to her!

Here's Postcard #1:

Which of the three postcards do you think should be on its way to Argentina?

If anyone is interested in swapping with me for the other two, we can do a little "mini-swap".  Let me know if you're interested!

There will be another Great Big Stitched Postcard Swap sometime in the fall, so if you want to participate, keep your eye on Beth's site.

EDIT:  I almost forgot to mention my huge debt of inspiration for the postcards, which came from the article, "Scrappy Paper Quilting" in the Winter 2011 edition of Sew Somerset.  I fell in love with Jane Eileen's work there, and couldn't wait to get behind the sewing machine to try out some scrappy paper quilting for myself!
