I finally got my inspiration... I'll start working on the postcard tonight, I think it will be another fun one. Might attempt the sewing machine again and use felt instead of the stiff pellon (I can't get the tension quite right to do the pellon).
Actually, now that I think about it, I wonder if a polyester thread would do better on the pellon? I was using cotton and it was pulling/dragging a lot, no matter where I had the tension set. With poly being more "slick", I wonder if that would work.
Either way, I'm looking forward to making the card, just need to see if I can find one more "secret supply"...

I just finished my March card, and it's my favorite so far. I can't wait for my partner to get it 
Inspiration came from a piece of fabric I received in the latest "I Spy" swap.
Still can't get the tension to cooperate with postcards on my machine, so it's both machine and hand stitched. I'll get it in the mail tomorrow or Monday, it just depends on if I can make it to the Post Office before I head to work tomorrow night.
