Sheila's Valentine Postcard Swap


It is OK now to show you the fabric postcards I made as a participant in Sheila's PostCard Swap.  The three postcards I made and sent have been received and enjoyed.

This one was sent to Eglea in Brazil ... I tried my hand at a little lettering in Portugese.





This one I made for Judy in Boise, Idaho



And Judy made this one and sent it to me...She handpainted the background fabric.  So cool!





I made this one for Jeanneke in Holland...her birthday is on Valentine's Day.


I enjoy making postcards and then sending them all over the world. Oh yes, and so nice to receive them as well!  It is such fun to open your mailbox and see a little piece of fabric art.  Each one is unique and very thoughtful.  Thanks so much to Sheila for taking the time to coordinate all the swappers.  You rock!
I enjoy it so much, that I will be hosting a Fabric Postcard Workshop at my house on Sunday (weather permitting).  I offered up this class to my lovely little guild to help with some skill mastering  and also to maybe pass along my excitement for making these little beauties.

Hope you get a chance to do something quilty today!

    Wow, Linda! Your postcards are amazing. When you are rich and famous, can we still be friends?

    Todos os cartões são lindos!
    Amei as palavras em portugues! Estão corretas! Você é muito gentil!
    Você sabe que no meu idioma "Linda" significa muito bonito?
    O encontro para costurar cartões será muito bom. Gostaria de morar perto.
    Um abraço!

    All cards are beautiful!
    I loved the words in Portuguese! Are correct! You're very kind!
    You know that in my language "Beautiful" means beautiful?
    The meeting sewing cards will be very good. I would like to live near.
    Hugs!
