Fabric Postcard Workshop

Today, four of my fellow guild members came to my house so that I could show them how to make Fabric Postcards.  Guess I am becoming a teacher!

This is a display of some of the awesome fabric postcards that I have received that I used for inspiration.


I designed a postcard to use as a sample and then I made up a little  kit with all the fabrics and stabilizers and backing that is needed to make a similar postcard.  The girls set to work and here is what they came up with.  I was very impressed and I think they all may end up making more postcards in the future.

Valerie's postcard


Karen's postcard


Beth's postcard



Susan's postcard

I started my blog in February of 2008...7 amazing, wonderful years of blogging!   To celebrate and thank all my lovely followers, I am having a giveaway.  I will make and send the winner of my giveaway a fabric postcard. If this is something you would like to have, just leave a comment of any sort below.  Only stipulation is that you are a follower, old or new.  I will choose a winner Feb. 27.

                                                       My Giveaway is now closed. 
                                            Thanks to all who entered.  
                                                        I will announce the winner in my next post.

Hope you had time to do something quilty today.

    You are a great teacher! It was a fun way to spend an afternoon... all I have to do now is figure out who to mail my postcard to, I miss so many people it'll be hard to choose.
    Thanks again!
