i posted another way to finish the edges of a fabric postcard. Lena1952 had asked me how i did it and suggested i do a tutorial. I think it is a clean colorful look. see it on page 3 here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...ml#post7760709

I'll be looking for it but I'm not done with yours yet. Hopefully I can mail it on Monday as I'm babysitting all weekend

My partner and I have both sent our postcards. Now we wait and see how long they take to cross the Canada/US border.

CookieZenmilk 02-10-2017 05:23 PM

Bilben, what state border is closest?

CookieZenmilk 02-10-2017 05:25 PM

K-Roll I mailed your postcard out today!

Bilben 02-10-2017 06:09 PM

These cards are just so inspirational. I have to get off the computer and get into my quilt room and start cutting and sewing.

cuppy 02-18-2017 04:03 PM

Adorable post cards. I made some for my family, they just love to get them. Going to make some birthday fabric post cards this week.

Update, forgot yesterday was a holiday. CookieZenmilk mine went in the mail to you & yours was delivered today, here it is. Such lovely colors & wonderful feeling; it even arrived on a very wet day. Coincidentally, I also had my rainboots on today and stepped in a puddle.... Thank you!

Here is the postcard I sent Armylady20102...

I had thought of the idea, but did not have any fire hydrant fabric. The next day, a package of scraps came in the mail (from Zozee-- I won one of her guessing games). When I opened it and saw the hydrant fabric, I knew I had to make it. (Although I do recommend training your dogs not to act like this!)

oh my Sleepy Hollow, that is fantastic. i love how you cut the hole in the postcard to illustrate the leash wrapping around the tree! This is outstanding. So so creative.

cuppy 02-26-2017 03:40 PM
