Angels in the Mail

These two postcards were made by my mother and were sent to the winner of one of my contests.  They went directly in the mail with a stamp attached to the back. If you are wondering how they fared, then visit with Roslyn at Ros the Quilter and take a close look.  They are mostly unmarked.  The second card has a band of orange code marks along the bottom, but I think that add character.

 

Both cards measure 4 x 6 inches.

 

A Paper Quilt for a Fibre Artist

Hard to chose what to send to a fibre artist who creates wonderful items every day.  Fortunately I had  few cards with quilt images.  Off it goes to the American West coast.

Birds of a Feather

I'm on a postcard roll.  A while back, my sister challenged me to send as many postcards as Postcrossing would allow me.  I am finally trying to meet that.  This card is off to Belarus to a lady who says her last name translates to 'crow'.  This is the closest I could come.  i hope she enjoys it.

An Earth Bound Spaceman

My nephew has moved to Alberta and is looking for a job in the oil patch.  I sent him this card to she him the type of outfit he should wear to keep himself safe.  Not sure he'll take me up on this plan.

For a Special Person

I was playing around at my sewing machine today with a fun piece of fabric.  A few shiny threads and lots of free motion stitching and I came up with this postcard.  Will be sending it off to one of my favourite people.

 

It is hard to tell, but there is a lot of pink and beige stitching that reminds me of contour lines.

To Russia with Love

 

A few days ago I sent this card off to a Postcrosser in Russia. 

Measures 4 x 6 inches.

Cotton fabric in the Flying Geese motif.

 

I did ask the recipient if she would like a hand made card and fortunately she said yet.

 

I held a contest on my other blog a while back. One of the prizes was a fabric postcard made by me.  I can finally show you the picture as it has been received by the winner.  It measures 4 x 6 inches.  Yes, it really was mailed just as it is.  The winner told me that she likes bright, and I was able to find a few fabrics that met that requirement.

 

 

These are such fun to make as I work with what ever fabric is at hand.  I usually add some of the fun stitches from my sewing machine. I never know what it will look like, but I sure do enjoy the process.
