Fabric Postcards - Fly Away Home

With the promise of spring returning, I thought I would share some spring images.

 Birds (and a butterfly)  in flight and where ever else you might find them.

Made by my mother Elaine, for hubby and myself for our wedding anniversary.

Made by my mother for my birthday two years ago.

You can see the postal marks along the bottom of the postcard.

/This started out as a quilt block for a quilt that was being made and donated to raise funds for breast cancer patients.  This extra block was pieced by Stella in British Columbia, Canada and Cheryl in Ontario, Canada turned it into a postcard.

Made by Monica in Spain. 

Made by Gail in Ontario, Canada

Fabric Postcards - Green for St. Paddy's Day

This one is direct from Ireland.  It was made by Miriam.

There is a layer of tulle atop the applique shamrocks.

Made by Linda in Ontario.  The same Linda that made my quilted wallhanging.   Visit Linda's blog Living, Quilting, and Stuff and see what she's working on now.

Made by Mary Ann in Ontario, Canada

Made by Monica in Spain.  This is an 'inchie' postcard.  The little squares measure and inch.  They were made separately and then adhered to the front.

Hope that you have enjoyed my 'green' tribute to St. Patrick's Day.  Come back next Sunday and I'll feature additional fabric postcards from my mother's collection.

Fabric Postcards - Back to Winter

After that all too brief glimpse into the promise of spring, we are back to snow and winter temperatures.  Time to look at that 'silver lining', this time in the form of postcards.
