Fabric Postcards



Recently my cousin, Karin, and I attended the Sisters Quilt Show Week in Sisters, OR. We were delighted to meet Bonnie Sabel and Louis-Philippe O'Donnell who are the authors of "Positively Postcards", a book on making fabric postcards. It is a truly terrific book on the subject. Bonnie is delightful and gracious; she has put together some great kits to make some of the postcards featured in her book. I've included two pictures with this post to show one of my own designs - a birthday postcard for my sister Jody who has a special fascination with angels. This postcard was created with Flavia fabric using a gold sparkle tulle overlay, free-motion quilting, some gold leaves and fresh water pearls. The message side even has a fabric stamp and an original poem by moi!
