After the program for North Cities Quilters Guild on Monday night I did a fiber postcards & quiltcards workshop for the guild at Calico House Quilt Shop in Placentia, http://www.calicohousequilting.com/ which has the best classroom and fabulous fabrics in stock. The students seemed to enjoy themselves and each created at least one postcard which they will finish at home with machine stitching. Postcards must be 4" x 6" to go in the mail and can be sent US mail for 64cents to cover special handling, usually with a thin plastic sleeve to protect them from snagging on other mail. Quiltcards can be any size, but cannot be sent in the mail except in an appropriate size envelope.
Joanne Burkhart cut a variety of shapes in different color ways and plans to work on two different cards.
Beth Stiel had valentines and ballerinas on her mind. Cute red net tutu!
Betty Ann Lawson combined motifs from printed fabric with a cut out bluebird.
Verna Wheeler's tribute to her husband's fishing prowess shows fish chasing googly eyed bugs.
Liz Williams found this great background fabric in the remnants bin and made a Valentine for her husband.
Liz Williams also finished this card she started in a previous workshop.
Phyllis Morrow used her fabulous dress form fabric to make a postcard and a quiltcard.
Kali Stone, Phyllis Morrow's grandgirl, created this Valentine for her mom.
North Cities Quilters Guild President Becky Sproal encouraged everyone!

These are delightful and you should be pretty proud of yourself for coaxing such good work and so much variety out of a class!
Del, I sooo wish I could be part of this. I think it might be just what my wounded heart needs!! Love to all of them, and you also, for sharing with us. XX
WOW Del! The postcards are great!! Thanks for the information about mailing them.
Such a variety. You must have a way of getting students doing their own thing.
