Postcard Pics

Sep 21, 2006 6 Replies

Hi all, I joined a yahoo group that trades fiber art of all kinds, but especially postcards. I joined a crystal ball themed swap. What fun making them. I get bogged down sometimes. Doing little projects from start to finish gives me a sense of accomplishment and also gets me back in the quilting studio working on things when I sometimes feel inundated by all I have to make that I get paralyzed and make nothing. I am getting things done again just by making a postcard here and there on the side. GO FIGURE!



Anyhow. This led me to surfing the net about postcards. I found a website about Fiber Art for a Cause with benefits going to the American Cancer Society. I just felt I needed to make some. So I did. My postcard will hopefully be in Houston and get "bought" with a donation to the ACS. WOO! See my crystal ball postcard for the swap and my donated cards (peacocks) at the link below.

If you want to read about fiber art for a cause (I suggest a stroll through the picture gallery of last years postcards!!!) go to this link:

Your peacocks are beautiful.

I went through some of last year's gallery - wow!!

Melissa,

I love your fabric postcards! I got hooked last year sometime and made several for friends before jo> Hi all, I joined a yahoo group that trades fiber art of all kinds, but

"What's the name of the Yahoo group you joined?"

I joined two for now. THis first one reminds me a lot of RCTQ, a chatty friendly bunch. They have neat trades in progress at all times and the people are talented and follow through. The second one is quieter. I haven't done a trade there yet...but the work is no less talented when you look at the photos:

I am realy enjoying the first group a lot. I mail my first postcards today and should be receiving my three back in a few days too.

Oh, those are beautiful, Cathy. one of these days ... After seeing Leslie's, and others of the group, I thought about taking a special theme of my own and doing postcard sized quilts of chimneys in my county (some extremely elaborate, 16th C. ones are about near here). I'll have to see what next year brings. But they are such little masterpieces. . In message , Cathy in Richmond writes

Those are great, Melissa. Love the peacocks!
