What is next months theme?

Linny 01-13-2016 05:35 PM

We have had a fair amount of snow, but predictions for tomorrow are looking good so I plan to mail my partners pc out in the morning.

JuneBillie 01-14-2016 07:40 AM

My fabric post card will go out tomorrow. My top is finished, and all I have to do today is finish up with putting it all together. I am very happy with how the top turned out. I hope my partner will enjoy the rainbows I have made her. :)

We have had very cold weather, but happily today is going to get up into the lower 50's, and it is so pretty and sunny.

Hope everyone enjoys their day!

calla 01-14-2016 08:18 AM

I have completed my card.........but my blue fabric pen hasn't disappeared.........I hope it will with magic air. I hope to get out to mail. Not much snow but the roads were icey because we had rain than the temps dropped and froze. I see on national news about the Flint water situation. Sure is a mess for those folks. I have wondered about the restaurants........well
Dot I so like your clouds...........and Judith nice selections......later all.......calla

calla 01-14-2016 08:20 AM

JuneBillie......are you one of the Big Winners?

Linny 01-14-2016 01:03 PM

Sue-Post ofc said you could receive your pic maybe by Saturday.
Today was beautiful....almost forgot how nice the sun can be. One more day then back to frigid temps and more snow. We get lots of lake effect here. oh well, it's nice to be near Lake Michigan in the summer.

Judith1005 01-14-2016 01:58 PM

Nelco, I received my wonderful postcard. What a great use of rainbowy fabric. Thank you. I will post a photo in just a bit. My postcard is ready to go out to you tomorrow. I just finished it.

Judith1005 01-14-2016 02:36 PM

Okay ladies, I'm going to go out on a limb with next months theme. I hope you all will join me. Next month's theme is Design your own Postage Stamp Postcard for your state.

Here is a link of an example I came across. I think we all can come up with some fun stuff also. Don't forget to include a couple of fun facts about your state on the back. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/502644008389217174/

Judith1005 01-14-2016 03:23 PM

This is the postcard I received from Nelda. It's a really great way to use fun fabrics. She made it "sing" with the added glitz. (My Favorite. I love shiny's and shimmer.) Nice job Nelda. Thank you.

Linny I mailed your PC today too. Please excuse the raggedy edges, I trimmed and trimmed but I still have whiskers........and sheesh I scotched the message side too........sorry...I regret mailing it now. I should of remaid it. I apologize, I was focused on getting it in the mail. Thank you for swapping with me. And yes, the sun was nice to see today. Primary roads are clear however the secondary ones are still snow covered..........the cards displayed here are nice , another good job everyone.

Judith1005 01-14-2016 04:19 PM

Hi Calla, I'm sure your postcard is still nice. I get nervous every time I make my cards also. I use Frey Chek on the edges of mine when I remember to. And, when I'm not out of it. It is on my list to pick up at the moment. And, lol, I've forgotten the last couple of times I've been out. Besides, I think a few little stray strings just add charm. I will mark you on my mailed list. Stay safe.

cuppy 01-14-2016 06:26 PM

Count me in for February, love the theme.

Linny 01-14-2016 07:35 PM

Calla (Sue)- I think those little whiskers are just part of the charm of post cards. I ended up using some permanent fabric glue to make a little binding and I actually liked it better with the stitching around the edge. oh well, it's all part of the creative process and learning what we like best. I know I'll love the one you send me.

Linny 01-14-2016 07:48 PM

Dotty, like your pc design with the fluffies, and Nelda, what pretty fabrics with a touch of sparkly.

beckyw 01-15-2016 06:26 AM

I got my card out yesterday. Next month I got a idea. Are state bird is robin so I think I will go with that.

JuneBillie 01-15-2016 10:56 AM

Don't I wish! lol..... I sure could use it as so could most folks here. I will just be happy with exchanging fabric post cards. :)

JuneBillie 01-15-2016 11:14 AM

The card from Nelda is so pretty and colorful Judith.

Also, nice ideas on pinterest.

Judith1005 01-16-2016 03:13 PM

I finished another Rainbow Postcard. I made this one for my mom. Tee Hee, I got to break out the beads. So much fun!!

I posted the link to the February Swap Signup. Please refrain from joining until you have mailed January card. Thank you.

Like your rainbow PC Judith. Your Mom will love it. I have sent and partner has receive. Hope she will post picture soon.

Judith1005 01-16-2016 04:50 PM

Thank you Juanita. I will mark my list.

Judith1005 01-16-2016 04:52 PM

Juanita, I don't think Nancia knows how to post a photo. I will try to get her to send it to me and I can post it for her. I also think she may be having computer problems. I will get back to you.

ooo, I'm sorry ladies, I really didn't mean this to sound so snarky. I apologize. It's more for my record keeping then I don't want you to join. And, I know I posted the link for February early. Again, I do apologize. Everything for January is looking great. I do need a few of you to check in though and just keep me in loop.

Woo hoo received my package from Linny. Rainbow Row, isn't that too cute? The card is exquisite, stitching (very nice tension I might add), some paint and a gluing technique for the binding. In addition, an extra surprise as well. I'm eager to try the template. Thank you so much Linny I enjoy all of it; I'm posting a picture but my photography skills won't show it justice. And Thank You Judith for hosting this, organizing and posting photos for others. Your efforts are appreciated..........calla/Sue

Judith1005 01-17-2016 08:48 AM

Calla, Linny, That's a really creative card. Very nicely done.

Owlvamp, Banwell, nice job. I love the vibrant color fabric you used. Very pretty as well.

owlvamp 01-17-2016 09:53 AM

Love the houses and rainbow. Cute postcard.

Judith1005 01-17-2016 01:45 PM

Thanks Pam. I have marked my list.

Here's another "play" postcard. A Rainbow Flutterby. I can't wait to see more of what yall came up with.

Neither of the ones I posted is going to my partner. Hers is completely different.

Linny 01-17-2016 03:33 PM

Calla/Sue, Stopped by the PO to check my box on our way home from kids today.....nothing yet so Tuesday will be next chance as tomorrow is a holiday I believe (MLK B-day).
Happy you like your little post card.
Judith-Your " Rainbow Flutterby" is too cute.

Linny 01-17-2016 03:38 PM

I like the vibrant colored post card owlvamp rec'd from Barbara.

JuneBillie 01-17-2016 10:17 PM

My card was sent out the other day, and my partner sent hers to me before she left for a vacation.

Judith that card for your mom is so cute.

Barbara very pretty rainbow post card for Owlvamp.

Linny great post card for Calla. I love those little houses with the rainbow over head. The binding turned out great.

Judith that is a cute flutterby. You come up with so many creative ones.

Great job on everyone's post cards.

cuppy 01-18-2016 01:54 AM

Judith, will you please post photo of post card to my partner if needed, after she receives. Thank you. Love the rainbow cards, the colors are so vivid. Look forward to see them all. I will be making some Valentine Cards for loved one when I get home from Vacation.

beckyw 01-18-2016 07:26 AM

The cards are so cute.

owlvamp 01-18-2016 10:51 AM

I dropped off my post card to Banwell. So mine is out.
Thanks for you do for us Judith.
Now I have already been thinking of next months theme. I think I have a somewhat idea what I might want to do.

Judith1005 01-18-2016 11:24 AM

I'm thinking that Flora "Flamingo" is going to make a reappearance next month. It's still in the design phases.

JuneBillie 01-18-2016 11:54 AM

Hi cuppy! Where are you at for your vacation? Have a great one.

Hi All!
My card will go out tomorrow. Those pics are very inspiring. Judith, my yellow pile is SUPER small-weird since it is a cheery color.
Here is what I worked on this past weekend.[ATTACH=CONFIG]540533[/ATTACH]
I finally got my niece's graduation quilt on the long arm. Next step is top bind, UGH!
