I'm allergic to camping! Rather I'm allergic to all kinds of pollen! But a picnic here & there to do some birdwatching is on our schedule! We live close to a business that reconditions Air Streams. So we see them a lot.

Nice card Dove, did you and Dotty decide to do 4th of July instead? Very pretty stitching.

Ladies,

It has come to my attention that some of you don't use envelopes for your postcards and just send them on there way as is. And, If this is how you want to do it, that is up to you. It has come to my attention that someone did receive their postcard. But, it was so damaged and battered by the post office, It was hard to enjoy the lovely work that was done.

Now, this month, I did receive my camping postcard just regular, no envelope. It arrived just fine. A few smudges, but, still in great shape. (I was not disappointed.)

So, really think about how far your postcard is going and, what you have on it. And, what it might look like when it arrives.

You can purchase clear 4 x 6 clear sleeves on Amazon. They are like, 100 for less then $10. It will assure that your postcard goes first class non-machineable. And will also insure your lovely postcard arrives intact. (If this fits in your budget.) Also, Wal-mart sells envelopes in a great size for mailing postcards as well.

I know, some of you really like the "patina" they get when mailed with no cover. Some, just to let you know, do mind.

Mailing my card out in the morning hope Susan likes it I would love to go see the northern lights so that were my camper headed

I will update my list Millie. That sounds really pretty. I'd like to see the Northern Lights someday too.

Here's the signup thread for August. Hope to see you all again next month. http://www.quiltingboard.com/member-...ml#post7606110

Here's the card I received yesterday from nhnative --- behold! Camper van sweetness. The grass and cloud fabric, and the lace curtain on lace, button wheels!

(& nice flag, Dove!)

We lived in north central Indiana for a few years & leaving a Friday night football game we saw a spectacular show of the northern lights, 80 miles south of Chicago! Awesome. Worth taking the trip if you had the opportunity.

Nice! I have that same grass fabric!

K-Roll, nhnative, Great job. I love the little bits of trim you used. I also LOVE the all natural vibe I get from your postcard. I could be a hippy happily living in a commune in it.

Nice job ladies, keep them rolling in. They are all so sweet. Could you see all our "Glampers" in a row at a Campground?! They would look so cool all lined up.

July Postcard
 

I got my glamping postcard from Carol (K-Roll) today. What a cute glitzy lantern with the light shining from it. So cute and what cute zebra buttons. Cute swap.

Nice job K-Roll. That would come in pretty handy for camping. I too love the gold. It just "illuminates" your whole card. :)

Judith awesome FPC love the banner, Congratulations GramE you made it through the first FPC swap with flying colors love the 4th of July inspiration for you camper and nhnative love the lace on your camper yeah glamping. Love all the cards so far.

I have received my July Postcard swap from Cuppy. Thank you so much. I hope she soon receives mine as they were both posted on the same day.

Very nice tent cuppy, and colors! I just love that green too.
I love tent camping. But this weekend I'll be in the Sierras at a rental ranch (oh, well I'll make the best of it!).
Packing FPC stuff with me.

Judith that would be awesome, " dress right dress" of the camping and glamping row.

Cuppy, I LOVE your tent. Most of my camping memories are about tent camping. And, the smores of course were the most fun part of camping.

cute postcards so far. i mailed mine quite awhile ago in a regular business size envelope....lol

Thanks Cookie, I do have you down as mailed. I have EVERYONE down as mailed. So, hopefully, more will be coming in soon.

Please keep me updated ladies when you receive. There are quite a few postcards still out there floating around.

Miriam I forgot to take a picture of the post card I sent you. Don't know if you can post or but if you get me the picture I can. Thanks

This is me!

lol, GramE, I love it! Now, that is my kind of camping.

That's my idea of camping too. Not into sleeping in the woods

I received post card from Betty! a embroidered camper, love it.

Each person's postcards are so cute and creative. I have enjoyed looking at each person's artwork. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Cuppy has asked me to post photos of my swap to her as she is unable to. Caravan postcard, Caravan stuffed ornament, sewing buttons and Cherry ripe bar. The light has reflected in the photos, so they are not as clear.

Love the embroidered Camper! Setting the bar high for me.

what talent there is in this group, every postcard is so different and all great work.

Betty J, Your Glamper is adorable. And that ornament is just too cute!!

GramE, I LOVE your new Avatar. It's bold and beautiful!

LindaC, welcome back. I hope all is well.

Thanks or stopping by sewextremes. Thanks for enjoying our pictures. If you ever want to join us, let me know.

Five more days to sign up for August ladies.

I received my post card at home but I haven't been over there - I'll post pics.

Pic post card received from owlvamp since the camper is out of burlap I figure it is for roughing it camping. :D
I thought it was very cool. The girls snatched their post cards up and I never got to see them. They loved them is all I know.

I sent my postcard to owlvamp a few days ago
I was messing with an old Kenmore trying to make a sign like in a camp ground but I made way too many mistakes. Sssoooo this one is stuff to do around a campfire and a starry sky. The camp fire was done on my 1950s Pheonix sewing machine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]554705[/ATTACH]
Inside all the flaps is a campfire

While shopping at my nearest largest shopping centre I noticed they had a camping display. I couldn't help but take a picture and thought perhaps you would like to see it.

Miriam, I love your use of denim. And, I absolutely love how the fabric moves to reveal the campfire. Super cool!!

Owlvamp, You know I love how you use texture. And, Miriam put it perfectly, "roughing" it camping style. Nice job.

Betty J, thanks for your photo share. I think those campers are "styling" it. lol :D

nana20010 finally received my postcard! i think it took a lil trip of its own....

Aw, Millie, that's awesome. My parents used to have a VW Van. I have many happy memories of road trips and semi-camping and drive in movies. And, our move to Florida. Way back when. I love it. I will mark my received list.

I am posting some pics for you to see of my stall at our local Quota Craft show today. I have been busy this week making some extra stock. My Christmas Ornaments and padded hangers are a good seller. We get the little grand boys tomorrow morning.

Betty, that is stunning, I would shop your booth. Beautiful. I hope you sell everything.
