Postcard for my Mom
 

I threw this together from a free PP pattern I printed off the internet. The picture didn't come out all that great and the rose looks better in person. I should have used alot of different shades of pink to make the rose better. My sons picked the fabric and wrote the message on the back. First one I have done and I finished it in about an hour. Got all the mistakes out of the way on this one...

Oh, and my mom can use it as a coaster or tiny mug rug. Postage was close to $2.00 as I had to send it as a "parcel." The Post Office workers said they had never seen one before. Hope it arrives safely.

Re: Rose Postcard

I have read that fabric postcards like yours should be enclosed in envelopes for mailing to ensure their safe arrival at destination!

Oops. I have a book on making quilted postcards and they have stamps placed directly on the postcard. I will know better for next time. Thanks for the advice.

What a great idea! I love it!

That is neat. I have heard of them before, but never made one.

I think it is a great gift. I'm sure your mom will love it. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice & she will love it - especially with the kids writing the message! I hope it gets there in good shape!

Love your postcard for Grandma. I am sure she will be so tickled with is, especially with the signatures of her grand children!!
:D :D :D :D

Love the postcard. Yes, the ones I have recieved have all been in envelopes for their protection.

what a wonderful suprise. great idea

I have made many, many embroidered and quilted postcards and mailed them as is - part of the fun of it - with a stamp on the fabric and every single one has made it to its destination with no problem at all.

I, too, have sent several postcards through the mail. I've never paid any extra postage for normal postcard size.. I do, however, like to have them hand-cancelled and put in a cellophane (see-through) envelope. (Also for those that are really special or have crazy quilting or beads, I ask to have them hand-cancelled and then put in a regular envelope. I know that sounds silly because I pay the postage twice! I did one this way for a friend who had just taken her citizenship oath (having it cancelled on the day of her ceremoy) and she loved it.

All that said, the first thing I should have written is that your card is very special, nice colors and your mother should be thrilled with it.

Wonderful, great idea!!!!

Fun! She will love it! :)

Beautiful keepsake! Love the look of the post card! It's so sweet!!
