Tuesday I began stitching to the right of the roof and chimney. And did a bit more Wednesday, but yesterday I decided to have a bit of a break. I needed something to stitch that I didn't need to work too hard concentrating on.
I began another fabric postcard. I hand quilted the centre section using gold thread.
After stitching the seams on the main body of the postcard, I hand appliqued the quilted square using blanket stitch.
I then added the leaf button before stitching the front and back of the postcard together.
I haven't decided on the destination of this card yet. It will either be Australia of America. I have the other postcard all prepared and ready for stitching.
I am now going to go back and do some more cross stitch. The break from cross stitching has been brief, but refreshing.

Your hand work is beautiful. A true work of art. I really enjoy viewing your projects. Also, thank you for the comments you leave on my blog. You are always so thoughtful!
I have nver heard of fabric postcards before: What an excellent idea. def. something to consider while I cant cross stitch very much.
Cheered me up no end...of to blow dust off my sewing machine!

Another lovely postcard. The TK piece is developing well. :0)
Think we'd make a matching pair of bookends at the moment then LOL - hope we both get some energy back soon :0)
I have only come across fabric postcards recently on Stitchin Fingers. There are some really talented ladies around that have done some lovely cards using various techniques
wonderful - its always good to have a few projects on the go so you can have a break from one. i can imagine that concentrating on the cross stitch at the end of a long day would be difficult
You have made such fast progress on the cross stitch, it'll be done in no time! Love the new postcard, I'd love to trade a postcard with you when you have time to make some more :)
Wow, the cross stitching is great! I've done in the past...but I am done ... now...if you know what I mean. I can finish a quilt in the time it took me to do small wallhanging. Love the post card. What a talent.
