Olympic Postcards


It will soon be time to think about our Olympic Postcards based on the country of San Marino. The pictures show two that have been made already. One is about the founding of San Marino in 301 making it the oldest continuous republic in the world and is machine embroidered. The second one is based on a picture looking through a window and is hand stitched.
I know some more of our members have started to think about what they will put on their postcards. They will look really good when all stitched together.
