Yes most of them i did a sort of binding but not all..they are such fun to make
I wondered how many have done postcards and would like to see some...
These are great !!
Sue inspired me and I have joined this board's fabric postcard swaps. Here are some of mine - for the most part, they are seasonal for Winter and Valentine's Day swaps.

Ditto. My first thought before I read anything. These are so kool. She will always have something made by her beloved grandmother. Brendak

What a treasure and how wonderful for you dto do it so faithfully. I imagine she about busts her little buttons when she gets one in the mail.

You could also get a photo type album or a three ring binder and put pages in it that the cards can fit in to. You could also write a referance on the card about what the NEWS of the week is. Also be sure to date it. In later years it will be a fantastic historical keepsake.

How are you mailing them? My post office won't let us mail fabric postcards any more unless they are in an envelope. I put mine in a celephane envelope. But when I take them to the PO I take them out of the envelope and have the PO attendant stamp cancel them and then I put them back in the envelope. That way the stamp and cancelation show thru the celephane
