    Cool Post card

    How do you make a quilted post card? I looked on the swap and would have signed up, but never have seen how to make on?

    There's also a book "going POSTAL" by Billie Lauder. I recently bought it at a quilter's estate sale, so don't know if it"s still available.

    My vision precludes reading my quilt books anymore, if you'll PM me your address I'll send you my book, it is by Judi Warren. Depending on whether you search for fabric postcards or quilted postcards turns up various books on Amazon.
    More fun was doing a google images search

    Hope you join us! I just started making them after seeing the tutorial a few months ago. The swaps really are a lot of fun, and it's fun to be creative on a such a small scale, with something new and different each time you set out to make one.

    I've read that some people use stiff felt for the innards. I may try that in the future and see if my sewing machine likes that better than the stiff pellon stuff. Until then, I'm going back to stitching them by hand, I think.
