It was time for another Birthday Postcard. In SIMS - this year - we are making each other a postcard - using the initials of the person's name.
This time it's for Maureen - her initials are M C L
so have a guess:
I'let you have a moment to think . . . .

Mountains Clouds Lake
I had thought of this combination on the way home from the meeting when we decided to do it . . .I had a thought of how I'd applique some mountains and lake and embroider clouds . . . and being an expert procrastinator - hadn't even started it at the beginning of September when I was going on a retreat . . and visiting patchwork shops . . . where I found a perfect fabric - but - alas - none left in stock...
So some very clever detective work by Cheryl (Thanks Heaps Cheryl) - she found some at Peppermint Stitches and luckily I could sneak over there one work day at lunchtime.
I had to do some "cut and paste" to move the lake - and copied the fabric twice so I could practice - and the extra page became the wrapping paper...my creativity astounds me at times!!!! LOL
Here are all 3 postcards
#2 is Marigolds, Cat & Lavender
#3 is the same theme but quite different
and the back of mine for reference!
The next one is due in October - only 2 initials S & W (almost the same as mine . . . )
What will it be??? What would you do???
(I have a plan...just need time . . . .lol)
