No fooling, fabric postcards!
Recently, one of my fabulous Talk To Me Tuesday friends, Clumsy Chord, organized a fabric postcard swap over on fabricpostcard
This is a summary of that swap with both what I received and what I sent. It was a huge amount of fun and I loved getting to experiment!
I’ll start with the postcards that I received, because they are FABULOUS! They all make me think of spring, which is lovely, because it’s just what I need right now.
Top (L-R) lovely sunrise inspired card from Kristel (clumsy chord), and gorgeous serged ribbon card from Erin
Bottom (L-R) sweet spring birds by Patti and a very plant/spring inspired card “grow” from Amanda
They’re all fabulous and I have them hanging on the wall in my sewing/craft room!
For my cards, I took the opportunity to play on a small scale with a few different ideas. I challenged myself to use different fabrics and techniques on each one. The results are what you see here!
Postcard backs, before addressing!

The fabric postcards are striking and very creative. Recognized the skull from a fabric that my college student daughter fell in love with when she made her first quilt last summer. Of course, she took it to college!
I enjoy TTMT every week and appreciate your down to earth friendly approach and wisdom. It feels like I know you.
Have also made 2 pillowcases using your excellent tutorial.
Keep creating!
