Oh where, oh where can we find them?

Debbie, I've never seen any quilting cards, those are darling. Where did you find them?

Hi Gerbie, those were sent to me by qb members here. That's what made me want to find more and check here. SO far great ways to make or buy. They are spendy but then so is everything nowadays. BUT.....we quilters will figure out a way to save and create our own. Great ideas coming in.♥♥

Maybe tomorrow while you are at the Midlothian Quilt show, check it out for me. Get business cards, etc. I'd give ya big hugs, have fun by the way. I'll send you a pm to tell you in case you don't get back here. ♥♥

Sent you back a PM. The thing I like about Carol Wilson's cards is that they are embossed, so they look more like an actual quilt. I will be looking, as I need to stock up.

I buy the blank cards at JoAnn's and quilt my own insertions. I love making them and friends love getting them. I keep a box of fabric and patterns nearby. They're the perfect size for those few minutes you want to sit and sew but not on a big project. Like waiting for the repairman.

I have been trying to find some too. I have not had much luck. Someone needs to come up with a line of quilty paper goods.

Do the cards have a cut out to insert your own add ons? I'd like to find them.

I'll make them into a PDF file that ya'll can print at home if you'd like. You'd just need cardstock for your printer (and a color printer)

Can't wait. I would love to print my own cards and surely I could download a PDF....

Where do you find cards with ovals or squares in the middle?
