Sharon Payne Bolton created this one using vintage laces from France detailing original papers from Nice from 1891! It also includes original French postage stamps, hand dyed silk for the ribbon sealed in bees wax for preservation. I know because I have stroked it plenty.
And it smells so good too!
A beautiful letter that came with it explains the huge efforts that Sharon went to. It is full of romance and master craft of bygone days.
When you receive an object of such beauty you want to delve into that world so I hopped over to see Sharon's website to visit her studio and immerse into her world.
These are my favorite images.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sharon. So much beauty and inspiration.
Also thanks to Hilary who mentioned the post card swap to me, which is organized by the lovely Beth. You can see more postcard creations on flickr here.

This is what I designed and sewed for the swap. Have a read what my lovely swap partner said about it.

I just returned home from 3 weeks in AU. I loved your fabrics when I was there in 2009 and I love the Birds and tree in this new collection too. I bought some to bring home and later I saw the picture on the magazine. Glad I had bought it. The quilt is beautiful.
