Crazy Quilt Fabric Postcards



I made these two crazy quilt fabric postcards for a swap on Swap-Bot. I don't have any fancy stitches on my sewing machine. It is just a basic model. So I tried to make them look better by adding some buttons, ribbon, and hand stitching.

Flower Fabric Postcards


I forgot to post this picture yesterday. I made these two cards for a swap on swap-bot. The theme was floral. I had to add some silk flowers and a little bling. LOL.

July Fabric Postcard

Denim Fabric Postcard


Can you tell the lense was dirty when I took this picture. Silly me I thought why is it hazy when I look through the camera. There were little finger prints all over it. Andrew just too curious sometimes.
I made this for a swap on swap-bot. We had to make a denim fabric postcard. I decided to make a pocket and stick a note in it. I used some fabric paints to decorate the pocket.

June Bug Fabric Postcard


I received this dragonfly fabric postcard from my partner. Can you believe this is the first fabric postcard that she has ever made? Bravo....It is wonderful.

I received this fabric in a bag of scraps from a dear friend and fellow swapper on swap-bot. She sent me fabrics for an I spy quilt. I couldn't resist using this for the June Bug fabric postcard swap I hosted last month on swap-bot.

April's Fabric Postcard


I received this in the mail form my swap partner. She is from Canada. I asked her how she created it. She said she watered down some paints. Then painted the fabric. Very cute. I love it.

Postcards from Abroad...




I received these beauties in the mail last week from Beatrice. She lives in Canada. Her mother, Doreen, and I are both swappers on Swap-Bot. Doreen asked if I would like to trade fabric postcards with Beatrice. Well, Yes mame. I am always up for encouraging young minds to try new things. She did a fabulous job. I love the appliqued leaf on the monkey fabric postcard. Great Job Beatrice. Keep up the good work.

More Heart Fabric Postcards



I received these in the mail today. Aren't they darling? On the first one you can see where it went through the postal machine and it got dirty. Pout, Pout. This is why I mail them in envelopes.

Fabric Postcard and Free Motion Quilting Practice


I found an awesome site that has tutorials for free motion quilting. Fabric postcards are the perfect size to practice this on because they are small. I practiced pebbling on this fabric postcard. I used purple variegated thread. It is hard to tell in the picture. It was a lot of fun and not overwhelming because of the size. I will definitely be doing this more often with different patterns. To watch free motion tutorials go visit Leah Day @ 365 Days of Free Motion Quilting

I got these fabric postcards from Kristina in France from swaps on swap bot. She doesn't have a sewing machine and does it all by hand. She does a great job.
