So here are the pictures of all the ones I sent.

| Silk hankies, free motion sewing, silhouette done with black fabric, free motion sewing to attach. |
A couple were sent to New Zealand, so I tried to make them either the Melbourne skyline or based on central Australia.
It was quite good fun to make them. They are quite small, 10x15cm (postcard size). It was a bit of a challenge to make them fit the smaller format in some cases.
But it was a great opportunity to play with ideas and techniques.
I have received most of mine now and am feeling inspired to try some new techniques or to revive some old ones.
It has been quite a challenge to do so many but it has also been very exciting to receive them all in the mail.

Well done Mary, they all look lovely!
Thanks, now I am feeling mildly inspired to make a few more pieces, maybe to put into a frame. I will have to decide what technique to use first, always a big decision.
beautiful! I am left wondering if there was an inscription on the other side, and what it might have said.... Can't decide which set are my favorite. These would make wonderful gift cards as well.
