Hmmmmmmmmm!!! I think I will try this one!
|
OK twist my arm just a little harder. OUCH! OK I'M IN! I'M IN! :p
|
Great ladies!!! These don't take a lot of time to make so I hope we see lots and lots of entries!!!!
Besdes you can always use them as Christmas Cards!! |
Hope to see lots of postcards in this contest!!! They would make terrific presents or great cards to make for holidays like Christmas Easter Thanksgiving Valentine's Day!! The sky is the limit people!!!
They would also make great gift tags! |
Where can I find blank postcards on line to print?
|
sorry I have no idea. You could search online for them. For the contest the postcards need to be quilted fabric ones
|
That being the case, Timtex is very helpful for the stiffness of the post card. Pentax works as well but not as stiff. It is in the interfacing section of the quilt store or Joanns. It is cut by the yard. Now if you don't want a real stiff post card, you can get the heavy wonder under and fuse it onto your fabirc getting a little bit of stiffness but will be pliable. Then you hand stitch on your index card for mailing or heavy card stock. Works.
|
Since I've never made one is there things I should know to allow? I guess I didn't know they use a paper or card stock base. Whatever is usual for making them is fine with me.
|
Here is one that I learned from:
http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltpa...c_postcard.htm another http://www.dollyduo.com/Fabric%20Pos...structions.htm Here is a tute I found on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC6-GyD0f6s These help give ideas. I still like using the heavy timtex for the stability. |
Thanks QM for the links. I am sure they will be very helpful for quilters who would like to make an entry.
|
uh oh. Does this mean we should not use traditional batting? Also when we quilt them, I assume that we don't want the quilt lines showing on the back since then it wouldn't be a postcard, right? Can you tell I never did one of these before?
|
Looking forward to seeing all those beautiful post cards!! I've never made one but I hope to get some inspiration from all the entries!!

I remember reading advice from a member on the first page about how to add the paper part of the postcard. If you have any questions just post them here and someone if not me will answer. |
Who won? Are there photos posted of the entries?
Sorry I missed this, I LOVE to make fabric postcards! Will there be another contest in November 2013? curious minds .... |
Here is the link to see the entries
http://www.quiltingboard.com/quiltin...t-t207627.html And the winner is.... http://www.quiltingboard.com/quiltin...t-t208557.html You can see all of the contests here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/quiltin...-contests-f21/ No I am not going to do any more contests unless there are enough people asking to do them. there was only one entry for Jan and I feel that we just don't have enough interest to keep them going. |
