Really nifty! Please be sure I am one of your fan club.

And do not forget that achieving the perfect, time after time, postcard after postcard, satin stitch is, in itself, quite an achievement. After all this time I still grind my teeth over mine. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

YES! you can really mail them. I ordered some clear plastic flat bags off E-bay and I write my message, put a stamp on the card, and then put them in one of those bags, seal the bag, and mail them. They arrive in pristine condition every time.

I have done many postcards,but have to say. these r the most beautiful ever. U r very clever. and I agree. Great way to practice curves.

I have a few books on making these postcards but have not had the courage to try one yet. Every year I think I will make just a few and send as my Christmas Cards, but again never have done it. This gives me a little more confidence that they get to the receiver still looking good even without an envelope. If I do try this year I will post and let you see!! Thanks for sharing and giving us such a good update on the success of quilted postcards. Yours are magnificent!!! Beautiful work!!!

Stunning! I can't even begin to choose which is my favorite though the last one might have a tiny edge!

wendiq 07-15-2014 06:36 AM

Absolutely breathtaking! If you use a Juki straight stitch, how did you achieve the wonderfully tight edge work? WOW! So Impressive!!!

Gorgeous post cards

Your quilting is outstanding - feathers seem to be the one thing that I haven't gotten the grasp of yet. But I can do swirls!

jeanne49 07-15-2014 04:46 PM

those feathers are beautiful. Using them on post cards is a great way to practice the technique. I will be trying to make some of these. I would have never thought of this type of postcard, which is why I love sites like this. There are always such talented people to learn from.

These postcards are beautiful. I would love to see one of these beauties in my mailbox.

JuanitaBean 07-15-2014 09:01 PM
