Quilted Postcard

My Grandmother's friend recently sent me a pattern that I was having a hard time finding.  She also wrote a ton of notes on it!  She's too sweet!!!  =)  As a 'thank you' I made her a quilted postcard.  I actually used my scraps from all of the cutting work Mr. T did.  (Don't remember him?  Check out my postcard post.)

I'm happy with how it turned out, however the lady at the post office said it wasn't legal.  She was perfectly nice about it and said to mail it anyway and take a chance if I wanted.  She said a lot of them aren't trained as much as her and don't know that a postcard is supposed to be .007 of an inch thick.  All of the postcards I've sent have worked.  I really hope this one gets to her!!!!

Fabric Postcards ~ CMQG

Sunday was an awesome day!  I was able to attend my very first meeting of the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild.  Everyone was so welcoming!  It was definitely everything I was hoping for...excited quilters, great ideas, and fun, fun, fun!  

We all had a great time making fabric post cards.  The one above I finished at the meeting.  I brought some scraps left from the Frolicking Flowers Pillow, and a fussy cut flower!

 

It was simple and quick.  We used peltex as the base.  I foundation pieced all of my scraps and then embroidered with fun stitches.  Lastly, I sewed my mini quilt to the cardstock post card.  You can find printable post card templates online.  I know what you're thinking, and YES they do go through the actual mail!!!

I can't wait to make tons more!!  =)
