I love them too. I've seen them at quilt shows - expensive IMHO. I've received them as gifts and love to use them.

I make my own to give with quilts. I take a picture of the quilt with my digital camera, print it & glue it to a blank card. I write my message inside. I put a picture of the back of the quilt on the back of the card. If I could figure out how to print the picture on the card, I'd do it that way- but when I've tried, I've failed dismally - LOL.

Actually, these cards PLUS having a picture for my quilt album are the reason I asked DH to give me a digital camera for Christmas many years ago. I usually finish a wedding gift quilt at the last minute and never had time to have a 'regular' picture developed.

Great idea, hope I remember it when I'm in a pinch for a card!

Quilt in a Day carries quite a few different ones:

I've seen the ones in the first post there, but I don't see them now. I love QIAD, but finding something in particular on their site can be difficult.

On Monday of this week, I saw some note cards that matched a western themed quilt @ Martha's Quilting Corner in Shiner, TX. She has a website; maybe she can give you some insight.

Oh where, oh where can we find them?

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

I got mine at an LQS

I make my own quilting/embroidery cards and send them for all occasions. The LQS also carries quilting cards and note pads.

What soft wear is best for making cards? I'm on MacBook....if that matters.

I do digital art, and I usually use Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro (have versions 5-X), Daz3D, Poser and a ton of other things. But that's for artwork. You can make it work in Microsoft Paint

I got some in an Amish store and love them. I haven't seen them anywhere else, but have not checked on line.
