Hi there everyone,

It is time to move forward with the Spring Fabric Postcard Swap!! We have 12 participants and I have sent a Direct Message to everyone with your swap partner’s name and address. Here is some information regarding the swap and the time line of the swap:

The rules would be the same as the last time which is simply…there are no rules! If you like piecing go ahead and piece one If you enjoy applique by hand or machine, go for it! If you’d rather paint or use crayons, please do!! Everyone can do this and it’s a great opportunity to try out a new technique. We had postcards last time that had traditional binding and others that were done with a zig zag around the edge…anything goes..really!

We took our postcards to the post office in a variety of ways…some were in envelopes and others not. Those that did not have an envelope had a postage sticker affixed to them and even though some us worried the sticker would fall off, it didn’t. If you feel better placing your postcard in an envelope, by all means do it. I will do that myself this time around.

I will set up a new Flickr group to show our work once both swap partners have received their postcard in the mail.

Here is the time line…

***Work on your postcard during February and try to have it mailed in order to arrive on the first day of spring which is March 20th.

Here is the link to the original Spring Postcard Swap post which has links to tutorials on how to make a fabric postcard:

I hope everyone has a really fun time creating a postcard and sending it off to another person who will be thrilled to receive it! Quilters are so like that 🙂

If you have questions, please send me an email or ask here and I’ll get back to you.

In other news…I’ve spent the last few weeks working on a project that is going in Quilter’s World in the fall. It is off my plate now and I’m needing to work on some pattern writing next. My machine went to the shop on Friday…it’s been a real bugger about free motion quilting and I hope it gets resolved with this service appt. I have pulled out some granny squares to continue crocheting and we are due for some big time snow tomorrow and Sunday…
Have a great day!
