Looking Back at fabric postcards 11-02-19

Ten years, or so, ago I was very into making fabric (or fiber) postcards and slightly larger ones I called Quiltcards.  I enjoyed doing it and even taught a few classes which the students seemed to enjoy.  I recently came across a box with material from those classes and am moved to try it again.  Here are a few from years past.  I cannot locate a lot of pictures due to my computer crash and the death of Picasa, but if I keep looking I will find some more. 

This one has a covering of illusion netting. 

This one I cut with an Exacto blade and used the cut away part to make another postcard. 

 "Bluebird in the Pumpkin Patch" 

Some of them would work as full sized quilts, I think.

Quiltcard - a start 08-10-12

Well, it is not much, but it may be a start.  I haven't be quiltmaking for a very long time.  Somehow I lost my "muse" and have been  sidetracked by other things.  I'm going to try to sew for an hour a day, which doesn't seem like much - it is just better than zero.  I'm going to TRY - no promises to anyone but myself.

 
This quiltcard has been a class sample when I have taught Fiber Postcards.  It is larger than a postcard (6" x 4").  It needs some foliage and finishing. 

 
The quilting shows better on the back.
