Yes, it’s that time again, i. e., time for our guild members to make 2000 (we hope!!) fabric postcards for the upcoming Voices in Cloth 2018 quilt show, March 17-18, 2018. For a small donation, you can take these home with you from the show, a little reminder of the fabric arts that you have seen on display.
Also, I have been helping people get addicted to making these beauties, since my addiction is pretty well-established. The tutorial on the “Postcards” tab above will show folds how the cards for our show should be constructed.
Here are a few card examples, all made by ME! I’m finally getting around to having fun with some of the fabrics and ideas that I have had since our last show two years ago. Hope you enjoy.
My experimentation with hand-embroidered motifs. I used small motifs from vintage embroidery transfers, sometimes even using the “test” motifs:
My favorite cats from prior years are still fun for me:
And now I have some favorite dogs:
And some very talented chickens:
Cards made from scraps from finished projects, both mine and those of others:
My experimentation with ribbons:
And last, but not least, the cool cowboy/cowgirl/horse cards, from fabric that I have had for many years and not figured out how to use on the small cards. I am pleased with the finished products:
I promise you an update on the quilts, too, but this card phase is not over for me yet.
