My fantastic letter from Patrice. I love everything in it, from the printed sparrow, to the feathers to the ...

Like me Patrice collects feathers and I like to take close-up photos to see the structures.

Tags with bees and pretty embroidery yarns in nices shades of greens. Together with a nice printed card, made by Patrice.
She loves the sea, the smell, the colors of it and of the dunes; the grey, the greyish blue and the greyish green, as the colors of the embroidery thread. 

Pretty mother of pearl buttons.   

 A sweet printed sparrow on canvas linen fabric, together with a cross stitch cross.

I'm so in love with the pinned-holes. Patrice have made this one for me on a square piece paper, her favorite format.

Dear Patrice, thank you for your amazing letter. There are so many treasuries in it, not easy for me to choose one as my favorite, but I have hang the printed sparrow on my studio wall.

FROM EMILY.

Received from Emily in Australia, July 2012.
Emily wrote and asked me if she could join my textile letters. She loves all sort of vintage items; from postcards to buttons to old clothes sewn into something new.

The whole letter from Emily.

Small pom poms put on a string. Perhaps for sewing onto a furniture.

I'm in love with the vintage postcards Emily have send me. This one is a little bit special, when turning it around I saw it was from Helsingør, here in Denmark. So in a way, this postcard have found it's way home again.

Emily have a button collection and the one she has send me is so fantastic. They are full of texture.

The patchwork in hexagonal are pieces Emily's Grandmother were going to make into a blanket. They are out of vintage materials, leftovers from the clothes her Grandmother made for her mother when she was a little girl. I feel so special that she has send them to me.

Dear Emily, thank you so much for your lovely letter. The buttons will soon be hanging in my studio.
