Hot August Night 2006

Last summer I did some postcards for the FiberArts for A Cause fundraiser that featured nudes. I didn’t get these cards done in time to include with the ones I did manage to get to FFAC in time for the Festival fundraiser, but they are done in time to share here. This year, in addition to the man and the woman, I have added one that I love, called Anticipation (there are two blue ones…one above, #2, stitched in blue thread, the other–#3– in a lavender/purple).

All the cards are “wholecloth”, that is there is just the background cloth and the thread, not piecing, no applique.

I used Peltex stiffener in the middle, and couched yarns to the outside edge.

There is a tweedy wool on the purple ones, cotton on the blues, and on the orange. All are free-motion machine stitched using Superior Threads Highlights 40-wt. trilobal polyester.

For some reason, one of the plum cards appears lighter than the others, though all three were scanned on the same machine. The actual color is closest to the darker versions.

All these cards are for sale, $30 each (including first class domestic US postage). I don’t have paypal set up yet, but will take personal checks. Write if you’re interested. I AM headed to Houston and will take these with me…don’t know if I will sell any there or not….

    I just love the pregnant nudes. Really lovely. You have such confidence with the needle! Great job.

    I love all of your postcards. The nudes are beautiful and something different. I am wondering, do you stitch your postcard to paper postcard, or glue it, or do you use the fabric printed postcards?
