Here is the lovely prayer flag I got from @Renstar!

I remarked how clever it was to use a doily like this…I thought it was cut our felt at first because it has a fuzzy texture. I think we both like the color blue…lol

She sent a lovely note and this smaller piece that is so cool as well…butterflies!

Thanks, partner…we always seem to have fun when we swap across the pond!

Hi everyone - just a quick update. We have 2 flags in postal limbo but good news on one. I edited a Google sheet so the mods know everyone’s status and you will be able to join the second round of swaps.

Thanks again for swapping and I’ll see you all again in the next round.

Well, after a looong journey, my prayer flag from @Ewulotta finally made it home! And it’s so wonderful…LOOK!

I love it!!! So many little elements - the colorful stamping, the corduroy background (love), the painted (?) fabric, the applique hand (my theme was creativity/hand-made), the crochet flower, buttons, rick-rack, FRINGE! It’s a crafter’s dream.

Thank you so much Eva! This was so worth waiting for. :smiley:

Oh, I’m so relieved that it finally arrived! And I’m glad you like it, especially since it was my first prayer flag ever. I used spray paint for the background fabric.

I love that there are so many elements in the flag you made @Ewulotta! The ric-rac in my favorite tertiary colors of orange, green, purple! The fringe! The pom poms…and the saying is perfect for @Abbeeroad!

So, after a rather long journey, and thought to be missing at one point, my flag arrived from @MistressJennie today - and it was so worth the wait, it is gorgeous!

I just love, love the steampunk feel to it and the colours are perfect - thank you

Beautiful! I love the sparkly dangles and the trim on top and bottom.

I’m not certain where it came from, but I could swear the fabric is hand dyed from someone on Deadster. I had a piece about the size of a fat quarter, that went pink to yellow to green, to blue to purple, and fussy cut it to get the background for this so it would look like a sunset sky. @Abbeeroad, @sheepBlue, @PerfectlyBohemian & @StudioANF all helped with advice and encouragement over an online crafting session together. The embroidery design is from Urban Threads and was a fun excuse to play with my new embroidery machine.
