Sunday Postcard Art - Picnic

This week I get to host at the Sunday Postcard Art with my choice of theme, which is PICNIC.  I chose this theme because I wanted to stitch this ant.  I was worried how his little legs might end up looking. I was surprised to be so pleased.  And ants go so well with picnics.  This little guy is on his way to a picnic right now.


My postcard backside...


I'm anxious to see the variety of picnic art that my fellow postcard artists will create.

Happy summertime!

Your ant looks a bit lost, glad you provided him (her?) with a signpost. That's tremendous how you have made her look like a real ant with the spindly legs and the multi-bit body. Clever stitching with the letters too.

What a clever idea! Insects are for us one unpleasant matter in picnics but sure they must have to eat too 😉
Happy Sunday ♥

Oh Annie I'd have him at my picnic anytime, what a sweetie. You got the legs perfectly.

You always make fabulous post cards Annie - this aunt hoping to go to a picnic is so cute -- he better be careful or someone will step on him.

He is perfect, but I'm afraid he would probably bring a bunch of friends! Love it and great theme for this time of year.

Annie, The legs turned out perfect. This ant is so cute I would invite him to my picnic. He really ought to have a name and a profile or maybe a biography.

genie said...

The legs are perfect and the ant....he would be more than welcomed at my house. This is such a cute card you have sewn. One of these days just maybe I will get back to my machine. genie
