Description:

Another requested swap: fabric postcards! This one will give you an opportunity to embellish your fabric with extra color.

You will make and send one 4" x 6" fabric postcard to your partner. The postcard must be mailed naked (not in an envelope), and must contain some color that was added by something other than fabric and thread: fabric crayons, markers, stamps/ink, or paint.

Basic construction techniques can be found in the following tutorials:
Alzheimer's Art Quit Initiative
Needled Mom
Patchwork Posse
Quilter in the Gap
Susan Dague quilts
Sarah Ann Smith's stamped & quilted postcards

For inspiration:
Pinterest

If you keep your card under 1/4" thick, you should be able to mail at the regular postcard rate. If you're nervous about mailing it, have it hand cancelled so it won't go through the postal machine.

  • Send on time.
  • Rate promptly and accurately.
  • Communicate if there are problems.

so...i am just finishing up my PC and while I've added lots of extra color, I didn't use crayons, markers or paint...is that ok? or should I go in and add one of these forms of color? Thanks :)
