Worked on mine today since a storm moved in and I can't get into the pool..........but I don't like using the machine with the lightening either, so just cutting and dabbling............calla

I hope to finish mine today. It is to hot to do anything else.

Oh I love how everyone's is turning out and not one so far is the same as I am hoping to make mine.
I REALLY LIKE THE THEME THIS MONTH!!
Keep up the good work everyone. Hoping to get the chance to work on mine 1 evening this week since it is cooling down significantly.

Look what I just got in the mail today my post card from Nan62. I Love it! It's a jar of buttons (so cute) and some extras. Thank you Lois. You should have your any day

Me too! I got mine too! A pretty postcard from sewbizgirl! And it came through the mail without a scratch! Thank you so much sewbizgirl, I love it![ATTACH=CONFIG]530193[/ATTACH]

Glad you got it Pam! Actually it did get beat up a little... It had 5 of the white buttons along the bottom. Should have sewed them on rather than just gluing. Lesson learned! This was my first swap and I think next time I will use an envelope.

Cute postcards!

JuanitaBean -- who wouldn't love a jar of buttons?? Very, very cute!

Pam P -- I love the old-fashioned sewing machine & the femininity of the entire postcard! Adorable!

Pam love your sewing machine. Great job sewbizgirl, this is my first time too and I sent mine through the mail, so they would be stamped. How do most of you ladies send if you wait to get them stamped. My post office had never seen a post card made with fabric he put a stamp on and them used a ink stamp to so I hope it works. If not I will be making more for my partners.

Thank ctyankee I do love my jar of buttons from nan62

I have sent mine both ways. The one I sent without an envelope had a stamp on it and it made it just fine. But there was no embellishment on it. Usually I use an envelope because of all the work in it, but I always think it loses the postcard feel a little bit. (but I don't lose any sleep over it haha). I love the button jar. I was thinking about doing that but didn't have any experience with sewing the vinyl like that. I have used it but not sewn it so I didn't want to chance it. My post office never saw one either and were hesitant to send the one without an envelope. The ladies were afraid it would get ruined. I had to make them send it haha.
