So far, all the postcards I have gotten have been just fine. Some of the members of the postcard group I am in call the dirt "postal art". Either way is fine. On the back you put a line down the middle and I write postcard top center. Then take it to the postoffice to mail. If there are embellishments on it, you have them handstamp which is a little more money. I got a gorgeous beaded postcard and it arrived perfectly without an envelope!!!

how interesting! i have followed the quilted post cards ideas in magazines & forums for several years. you are the first person who has offered comment on actually mailing/recieving them. guess i need to try a couple! thanx for your response. i enjoyed your blog post on these and the making of them. very nicely illustrated & explained.

I us a Juki-domestic machine and I go slowly on the feathers. Not super slow, but slow enough to see what I am doing. I have considered doing a little video to show how I do the feathers, but not quite sure how to do that!!!

Wonderful miniature work. Would you share what type of machine you use and how slow you run the machine for such precise work? They are awesome and yes, I would love to have one of them show up in my mail box. Truly a small work of art.
peace

Oh, that would be very interesting. Maybe a youtube video. I don't have a clue on those but sure do find them useful, as well as, very helpful.

Your skill and taste are wonderfully displayed and I am sure will be cherished by those lucky recipients.
Thank you.

I have to ask. Doesn't the stamp come off? That's been why I have never tried it!
