From Fiona in Scotland, we have more wonderful fabric art. This is Fiona's 12th creative swap, wow! Thank you Fiona for all the beautiful artwork you have sent in to me to swap!! See ALL of Fiona's creative work for our swaps HERE.
Look what finally graced my mailbox today . . . Five very delicious 'shades of sunshine' quilties from Fiona Brockie in Scotland, UK, just a wee bit late. The one here by itself, to the left, is the one I have choosen to keep for myself (many thanks to Fiona!). Hmmmmm . . . . . since the swap has already been closed/swapped and completed, what to do? I do not want to give up any of the sunshine quilties that were given to me for my hosting, yes selfishly (!) and yet I do not want to send Fiona's all back to her. So instead, I am putting out this call:
From Fiona Brockie in Scotland, we have some adorable little houses. Fiona wrote me an email and said she almost forgot to tell me that each one is meant to be a little guardian angel. (smile)Fiona has completed tons of swaps with me (click on her name label at the bottom of this post) ~ including some swaps I hosted before I started creative swaps. Thanks for your participation, Fiona --and your gifts!
See all of Fiona's Row houses and the lovely pin cushion she made for me, below - you can click on any photo for more detail. : ) The winged guardians are from ARTchix Studio!
Fiona Brockie, from Aberdeen Scotland is at it again! She is participating in yet another swap of mine -- this makes number 8 here with me, at creative swaps, wow! I really admire Fiona's way of combining fabric and paper with other mixed media embellishments. The quiltie shown here is a great example! Click on it for greater detail. I love all her background stitching, free-form style and how she used things in her composition that mean "spring" to her -- Fiona writes: "plants & butterflies, and changing from warm winter woolens to chic springtime girlie clothes. Eggs symbolize Easter and the sense of renewal with each new year and a hope of accomplishment & achievement. In fact: the blue brown theme just makes me think of bird's eggs!" Thank you so much Fiona, especially for the extra quiltie for me! : )
You can see more photos of Fiona's quilties on her flickr account - enjoy!
Fiona Brockie from Aberdeen, Scotland has made some very cool 5" x 5" collages! For me, to think about a winner for the most creative collages is getting harder and harder as time goes on, and more outstanding and beautiful things come in. I will try to keep my head on straight! Everyone will receive a gift for participating from Alpha Stamps, but one participant will win a First Prize, and Leslie has asked me to choose -yikes! Saturday the 28th of June is the last day for me to receive collages, as that is the 'received by' deadline day.
Fiona also made this ATC for me below, besides making extra collages. Thank you so much, Fiona!
From Aberdeen, Scotland, Fiona Brockie had sent wonderful quilties for our shades of white swap -wow! I love all the free-motion embroidery Fiona has done and all the different unusual embellishments; transparencies, paper images, trims & beads. I will let the photos do the talking!
