Some time ago Ingrid of
miistitch organized a mail art exchange.
I got fascinated with it because I love mail and cross stitch so a combination of the two sounded perfect.
I hadn't done that before so it was quite challenging for me.
Here's what I made.
The stitched piece.
Folded and with a beautiful linen sent to me by Ingrid some time ago.
The front with stitched stamps, post mark, address and Diana. I used patterns from an old Le Idee di
Susanna cross stitch magazine. I adapted the patterns for the stamps.I wanted a Greek theme.
The back.
I also sent some aida fabric. threads, a pair of earrings, and a handmade shadow puppet figure bookmark made by hubby.
And some buttons in a handmade little booklet.
Unfortunately up to now the recipient of my mail
Evalina has not acknowledged receiving it. Although I sent her e-mails and left comments on her blog she hasn't answered. I hope she is ok. I know my parcel was delivered because it was registered and I tracked it down.
Edit: Finally I got a message from Evalina who was away and has received my parcel. I am so glad she loved the contents.
Here's what I received through this exchange. Such a lovely parcel arrived all the way from far away Malaysia from dear
Lillie.
A lovely stitched envelope.
Filled with lots of gifts, lace, threads, a crochet bookmark flower, a needle book,postcards and local coffee.
Thank you so much Lillie for everything you sent me and thank you Ingrid for organizing this.
