Quilted Dragonfly Postcards
 
1 Attachment(s)
Just wanted to share a couple of quilted postcards I made recently. I did mail them, not in an envelope, the rainbow one made its way on a long journey to South Africa and the green one now resides in Ferndale, Washington!! Fun to make!

Never have tried the quilted post card yet but your making me want to now, how cute are your dragon flies.

lfstamper 06-14-2014 07:33 PM

Turned out great!

SheriR 06-14-2014 10:10 PM

Darling! Are they done on an embroidery machine?

sharisews 06-15-2014 02:00 AM

They are so beautiful. Did you really mail them without and envelope?? You are very trusting that they would make it.

QM 06-15-2014 02:11 AM

I love them. such little beauties.

sewbeadit 06-15-2014 02:14 AM

Beautiful work, I too love making post cards.

psychonurse 06-15-2014 03:43 AM

They are very pretty. lucky recipients.

coopah 06-15-2014 04:06 AM

Those are such keepers! It's impossible for me to even imagine the hours they took. Worthy of a blue ribbon!

Yooper32 06-15-2014 04:28 AM

How could you bear to let them "fly away"? What little jewels they are.

lclang 06-15-2014 04:34 AM

You purchase clear plastic sleeves that you can mail your postcards in so they don't get dirty. I do it all the time. If you don't mind that everyone can read the message it works well.

gabeway 06-15-2014 04:40 AM

Wonderfully done!

msdb159 06-15-2014 04:48 AM

So beautiful, job well done. Lovely!

wendiq 06-15-2014 06:12 AM

WOW! Those look like "art" cards.....gorgeous and with a ton of work!

bibi 06-15-2014 06:47 AM

Wow these are awesome!

liese 06-15-2014 07:33 AM

They are absolutely gorgeous! I think I wouldn't "just mail them" because I would be afraid of them getting dirty! The plastic envelope idea though sounds good. Would you like my address?

Doggramma 06-15-2014 07:35 AM

Those are really beautiful! I would feel very fortunate if I received something like that in the mail.

red-warrior 06-15-2014 07:44 AM

Super cute and well done!!!

MaryMo 06-15-2014 08:02 AM

Creative and ingenius! I want to make some ..... thanks for the inspiration.

solstice3 06-15-2014 08:06 AM

NIICHMOM 06-15-2014 08:12 AM

I've seen post card on this board, but never thought to mail, NOT in an evelope... How do you address them. and have you ever gotten any back. How has others done this?

breezyquilts 06-15-2014 09:47 AM

Nope, did them on my Old Viking and my Juki!!

I've put several in the mail and they all have arrived safely. Sometimes they get some post office smudges which are called post office art :^) Most everyone I know mails them naked, or not in an envelope. Use a fabric pen to write the address on.

Yes, I really did mail them with an envelope!!! I was worried with the first, but it arrived safely.

breezyquilts 06-15-2014 09:53 AM

I will work on a tutorial for these. There are many ways to make them, so I will do what works well for me!!! I wonder if we need to get permission for doing a tutorial? I guess I will need to check it out further :^)
