July Fabric Postcard Swap - Red, White & Blue

This month, we will be celebrating Red, White and Blue! <3 You will be making One Fabric Postcard.

My swaps are open to all levels of sewing. For a tutorial on how to make fabric postcards, please refer to my post in tutorials How to Make a Fabric Postcard. Please post pictures of the postcards you receive.

*Cards must measure approx 4 x 6
*Must predominantly be sewed and quilted. Embroidery by hand or machine is also welcome.
*Must have some type of finished edge.

Note: We will only be sending a postcard from this point forward due to the cost of postage.

Sign ups Begin 6 -14-18
Sign ups End 6 -28-18

Partners will be assigned 6-30-18

PS: I am looking for someone to take over the postcard swap for 2019. I have enjoyed hosting this swap for two years but it is time for me to move on. Please private me if you are interested.

I haven't done postcards but am interested to give this one a try. I've read your tutorial and some others. Do we actually mail these as a postcard or put them in an envelope to the person? I just finished 20 blocks in the red, white and blue 12" block exchange and do I have scraps that need a project! Count me in and tell me what to do after I make it.

Some people also use these plastic sleeves. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I use these also. (inside my envelopes) You don't have to. You can decide what is best for you. They take time on order as they come from England.

I will be working on my card for July as June has just been mailed off. Maybe, just maybe, I will be an early mailer this month. (One can only hope. lol)
