I was wondering who uses quilter's cards such as the two shown here. I love to send cards and I am a Quilter...go figure. LOL Just wondering how many out there look for quilting cards to send with their sales or just to say hi. Does it go that far for you? I see them online but don't want to pay shipping. Oh where, oh where can we find them?
Just a couple. I've seen plenty. Laurel Burch on top. [ATTACH=CONFIG]225777[/ATTACH] |
I've never seen them, but I love them. I love looking for quilting and fancy cards.
|
You can make your own on the computer. Even use a picture of one of your favorite projects!! That would make them very personal!!
|
Sometimes we have them locally at one of the specialty gift shops. I love getting them.
|
Debbie - those are pretty! However, right now I am using the horse notecards that you gave me :D
|
i haven't seen them. seems that a large LQS should carry them. i love the DWR one
|
I have digitally designed my own cards with Zazzle.
|
I have recieved most of my boxes of cards as gifts from friends. I love to send them to fellow quilters or those who appriciate them.

Thanks for all ther ideas. Guess I will be looking for cardstock this weekend. ♥♥ |
Thanks! :) Know what - I'll see what I can do about making some quilting themed ones. It'll take a few days, I can only work on them an hour or two each night.
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) |

And to mention, the musical cards are fun too, though not quilty.....unless you count Betty Boop as quilty,. Lots of ideas. Glad I posted this. Will keep checking here . |
When I did the Shop Hop to find the "bunny" on the internet, I found a few stores around the country with gift departments. I found some really neat stuff! One of our LQS does carry quilt cards. Don't forget "Google".

Miss Mayhem??? She can't go to sleep without her hugs quilt and the quick Dora one I made her. (It's just a yard of fabric, selvedges cut off quickly quilted and "birthed") Those are "my favorites, I need DOWWA and MY HUGS" to quote Mayhem. :D
I'll get a couple cards done, I think I can do it anyway! |

Ms Mayhem. I have that picture and she is just too cute cuddled up. YOu should post that picture too. I didn't because some don't like pics of kids here. I have color printer, will get some card stock. I am thinking I have some. Will ask NP3 when she gets home. LOL. SHe knows my rooms better than me now. SO funny.
Thank you everyone.♥♥ |
When the quilts from Gees Bend were shown here they sold notecards with the quilts on them. I bought a few boxes and I think I'm down to my last 3 cards. I love to send & receive cards. I keep looking for more "quilty" cards; can't seem to find any. Love the ones you showed and can't wait to see what you super-talented ladies come up with!
|
janRN - I agree, I am waiting anxiously myself. Have pictures made on regular picture stock ans use them. Retreat pictures or gathering QB members pictures would be awesome too. Lots of ideas.
|
I have the same ones as your DWR ones. Nicely embossed. Also another set in a different pattern. They were very expensive, so they only get used for someone who will truly appreciate them!
I'm making some with pics I've taken of the quilts, and will have a description on the back of the card with another related picture of a close up or perhaps the back of the quilt if it is interesting. |
there are several NEW lines coming out..somebody must sell them!
I can order them, but have to tell you..they are really pricey..so I only do "special orders" on them! |
We have a little store that sells a few cards that are "quilt related", but they're quite pricey. I bought one last year, it was $4.00.
|
Very pretty
|
I love them too. I usually find them in quilt shops or specialty card shops. Also in Quilt Magazines sometimes they have an online shop you can investigate.
|
I did a demonstration of making postcards with scrap fabric at a quilt show and one man spent probably half an hour watching. He thought it was the most fascinating thing he had ever seen! Just couldn't wrap his mind around making postcards on a sewing machine! They make nice greeting cards for many occasions. I used lots of fancy fabrics and ribbons and braids as well as occasional sequins and beads.

I've been making quilt block Christmas cards for over 10 years now and will start selling blank ones soon. They're fabric, not printed. Here's a sampling.

Sometimes you find them at a quilt shop. I have some but can't bring myself to part with them after I buy them! 8-)
|
I love cards, & would love to make them.Where do you buy card stock?

I'm lucky enough to live about 2 hours away from Houston. So, I attend the International Quilt Festival every year. Several booths have the neatest cards; but they are pricey like said. I also make my own cards with fabric. guess I need to print out some of my quilty graphics on cardstock.
|
Amish Fabric Barn, Lancaster, Pa. they have them on three large spindles as you walk in. They are so pretty , and so nice to give as gifts too!
|
I have seen them in many Quilt stores and on line. And yes, you could make them using a picture of a block or a quilt you have made.
|
you can get card stock at pretty much any store, walmart, target, ac moore, joanns. all cardstock is, is a thicker paper
|
Amy Bradley has some really fun cards. You can find them on her web site. Just Google Amy Bradley
|
Those cards are really nice, would they be too hard to try for a computer novice type?
|
If I saw those I would have to buy them. Love them that is for sure.
|
Yes, I use Quilter cards whenever I can find them, usually at Quilt shows the vendors will have some.

I have the DWR cards in your picture too! I got them at a quilt show. I have some others that I have found at quilt shops. Elenor Burns had a decent collection at her booth at the Road to CA quilt show this year. Love quilty cards!
