E-cards and postcards…do you use them for quilting friends and customers (if you have a business)? A discussion evolved about this at a blog I read regularly.
I used to open e-cards and enjoyed receiving them. Then spammers and hackers began using them for their own reasons, even to infect our computers with viruses. So there […]
Penny’s Postcard Posse remembers the troops in Iraq again this year on July 4 by sending fabric postcards. Started last year by quilter Penny Halgren, this project has grown considerably as quilters around the country contribute postcards they’ve made to thank the troops and lift their spirits.
The project has expanded beyond July 4th. Now it includes […]
As Valentine’s Day approaches, quilters often give gifts they’ve created with designs of hearts and love. My daughter participates in a fabric postcard exchange. Since it was near Valentine’s Day, Beth designed some of these with heart designs to send to her friends.
I found her cards enchanting and would like to share them with my […]
I’m so pleased with the postcards my husband printed for me from my fabric postcard. He simply scanned it, then printed as he does my photos and paintings. I wasn’t sure this would work because the postcard has some beads and a gold cord “frog” catch sewn onto it, making it somewhat three-dimensional. However, it […]
My fabric postcard appears at Artist Hideout , where William Lehman is creating a screensaver project. He’s still calling for submissions, in case you’d like to parcipate.
This is an interesting project and it was exciting to see my fabric art posted on William’s site. It encourages me to get back to finishing some of my other postcard […]
Quilters find ideas for their quilts and fiber art from many sources…books, quilting groups, art, and the world around them, to name a few. My daughter does quite a bit with scenery and texture in her fiber art, so has begun taking photos wherever she goes. Her digital camera is usually with her.
I visited her blog last night […]
The fascination with quilted or fabric post cards has evolved into fundraising. with quilters contributing their fiber art for a cause. Virginia Spiegel has organized Fiberart for a Cause; funds from selling these donated post cards will go to the American Cancer Society.
This is an opportunity for quiltmakers and fiber artists to share their creations and donate […]
I enjoy collecting stationery and writing notes, whether on postcards or note paper. Those with quilting designs particularly enchant me. Now I’ve begun making my own.
Simply take photos of your quilts and fabric art, scan it into your computer, or enter directly from your digital camera. Then print out as stationery, note cards or postcards […]
Why not take photos of your quilts and hangings and make post cards and note paper?, Sometimes photo the whole piece; for others you’ll chose only a portion of the item. By using a digital camera, you can select your best photos and put them right into your computer.
If you do use photos taken with a traditional […]
When my reader asked for fabric postcard directions, I inquired of my daughter (the major postcard creator in our family) where she should go. Beth simply “googled” the term “fabric postcard directions” and came up with several sites that give you pictures of postcards, directions, and even classes.
Some of these are web sites while others […]
