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.

FROM MONIKA,

Received from Monika in Scotland, June 2012.

In the beginning of June I received the most amazing natural textile letter from Monika. I have got to know Monika through her flickr red2white, but she also have a very nice blog. Monika comes from Slovakia, but lives with her husband and two children in Inverness. When Monika moved to Great Britain she learned to felt. She loves the process of the raw wool when it is transformed into a cloth. She likes cloth a lot and see felt just as one out of many.

If you want to purchase some of Monika's felted wool, you can do it here.

The full textile letter, all natural.

Homespun yarns made by Monika in naturally wool colors. So beautiful and full of texture.

I’m not sure what this is, it is very fragile. I’m so much in love with the structures, surfaces and colors.

A cloth of patcwork, where different kinds of fabrics have been sewn together. On top an eucaluptos leaves. The detail of the printed is so rich and full of details in the colors.

A little book with different kinds of wool felted. Each one gives a new expression.

Dear Monika, thank you so much for this so pretty and beautiful letter. The small fragile pieces will soon be hanging in my studio.

FROM SABINE.

Received from Sabine in Germany, May the 29.

I have got a letter without words from Sabine.
I know Sabine through her flickr Virginhoney. Sabine is an artist and illustrator and some of her work can be seen here, here, here and here. I really think her work is full of poetry and there is so much fairytale in it too. Love, love, love.

The beautiful package from Sabine. Everything from the fabric to the little card to the small tags is amazing.

Inside the package I found a flat little box with colorful fabric squares on. And inside that  two envelopes made of transperant paper. Again with a square on.

The letter from Sabine is full of joy, Summer, colors and sweetness. I love the mix of squares in different kinds of combinations.
There were actually six candyes in the letter, but I have a very sweet tooth and when opening the letter, I ate two and after the photoshoot all is gone. Yummi!

Dear Sabine, thank you so much for your lovely letter full of joy. I will hang the squared fabric in my studio.

FROM BLANDINA.

Received from Blandina in Firenze, September 11.

I have just received this amazing and beautiful stitching /patcwork from Blandina in Firenze. I hope one day we will meet each other.

Thank you so much for the pretty colors. Now it is hanging at my weaving studio.
