For those who do use card stock, the index cards can be bought in that exact size. You might need to put two together, but they are cheap. There are so many ways a person can do them I guess. They are such fun!

I use index cards, add a clean one on the back. Several layers of fabric.

Great ideas ladies. See, no wrong ways with postcards. Do whatever way works out best for you. Dotty if your sewing machine is having a hard time with a zig zag edge, try using a straight stich to finish off your cards. See how you like it.

I've got artist block. Can't think of what to do this month. The winter snow is peaceful. There's hope in new beginnings and the new year is certainly a new beginning. I've given up resolutions; failure is too final. But I do like goals: got a whole year to keep trying.

Just rambling thoughts.

Dotty, I use the Timtex and muslin too. I increase my stitch width and shorten my stitch length resulting in a tight zig zag. I'm learning too, the Timtex is costly I wait for a sale or use a coupon from JA. The Timtex has an adhesive activated by steam or the moisture from spray starch. calla

Petthefabrics ......thanks for my time for reflection........I'm sure your inspiration will come.......

After finishing a couple of these other swaps, and finishing my daughter in law a set of coasters I can now work on my post card.

I also am still crocheting scarfs for the great nieces. 6 of them. I am on scarf number 4 now. Have the front side of a mug rug finished for my dad's main nurse who is so good to him. I think I have everything under control now. lol...

I have to get some cards sent out, but had to wait until things calmed down. My sister 4 years younger than me is in the Oak Ridge Hospital with a blood clot in her heart, and more in her feet and toes. When she goes home someone will have to be brought in to stay with her. She is in bad condition. I didn't know a person could get blood clots in their feet and toes.

I can't wait to work on my post card now.
