This postcard is rubber stamping on Lutradur and was entered in a Quilting Arts challenge. It also has some angelina fibers and a bit of added color with markers. Definitely need a lot of practice with this!

All the following postcards (August) were made to sell in a gorgeous shop in Midway, KY.
The Damselfy had beautiful handmade items that put mine to shame -- but I had to start somewhere!

This fabric postcard is made from a scrap from my friend Janet's scrap bags (gratefully accepted by me). I mounted it on a green background and stitched around it. The cardstock sticker said it all -- but he/she looks more like a playful wild thing to me!
When I pulled this piece from Janet's scrap box, I "saw this sad looking baby" looking through a little hole in a fence just begging for attention. Anothe piece that I would have, in years past, thrown away. The "just perfect" saying is cardstock -- everythng else is fabric and stitching.
This fabric postcard is much richer looking "in person" because the underlying fabric is sheer, printed, and has gold threads in it. I was looking for a "royal" cats feeling! The embelllishment says:
A mixed media, fabric based postcard. I used to think that the "whole image" had to show but as I looked at the artwork of others, realized that bits and pieces are just as effective, perhaps more so. I first pieced several green pieces and then overlaid the animal images piece and stitched around it and then added decorative stitches and the worded embellishment: We are family.
I love making fabric postcards and experimenting with the decorative stitches on my machines -- I was in a "cool" mood as I pulled scraps from the bag. The mountains are made from a piece of hand dyed fabric I bought at a quilt show in Berea last summer. I love mixing textures -- this piece lends a bit of roughness -- good for a mountain!
A bit of a different take on a fabric postcard scene. The green and brown fabric on the right, above the mustard color, is actually an asparagus print! I love using unusual fabrics to get a wholly different effect from the intended use.
Another fabric postcard landscape. I love the selvage trim in this one (white grass!).
Another fabric postcard with outline and decorative stitching and lace butterflies.

I have gazillions of flower fabric and love to add vintage pieces to it. These two pieces just belonged together.
This is another piece of my friend Janet's famous red scrap box with decorative stitching and a gold charm. A quick and easy fabric postcard.
This was a fun and easy postcard to make -- there are such wonderful fabrics now where you can get a whole card out of one image. I just added metallic gold threat decorative stitching and some gold colored Egyptian embellishments.
