    I found some note cards on http://www.quiltwoman.com and I love them. I use them quick frequently to keep in touch with friends miles away. Yeah, I'm one of those who still like to use cursive and snail mail. The cards are replicas of quilt patterns. Then I recently found 6 blank note cards with envelopes and 6 100% cotton quilt labels to put in with your gift. I found them on It Takes Two, http://www.ittakestwo.com. The cost is very good for what you get. I also purchased a quilt diary to keep a record of the quilts I make and who I gave them to, this is something my DH is adamant about. Also Martingale has some very nice Rose of Sharon note cards and they are on sale right now. Well that is probably more info than you wanted, but you can check it out.

    I make my own greeting cards, plus just started doing the quilted greeting cards; but for quilting notes I like the ones I just mentioned.

    I am sure anywhere cards are sold there are some cards with quilt motifs. I would just look at cards whenever I am in a store of any kind. Good luck, take care.

    P S I like the idea one poster said to create your own on line.

    i make my own xmas card by buying the pre made blank cards at the store with the ovals or squares in the middle(you can cut your own but i'm not happy with my oval cutting). i quilt a mini block or cross stitch, embroider, or at times i have used tri chem or fabric paint and painted something to put in the middle. i also do cross stitch or mini xmas blocks ornaments they can take out and use on the tree. the ideas are endless for cards and can be done for any time.the last one was a get well card with a teddy bear holding a racing flag that said get well soon.

    I use them all the time for a number of purposes - I am always on the lookout for new designs, and have made my own cards (using photos of my own quilts only-only to avoid copyright issues).

    Before I started quilting, I was heavy into card-making. Every year I made a quilt card for my friend. I'll go back to making cards soon, my stash is empty. But if you search SplitCoastStampers.com, you'll find bunches of cute handmade quilt cards.

    I just looked at my quilting mouse pad and it came from barkerquiltscapes.com. They have a boxes of 10 quilting cards plus free shipping. Hope that helps.

    I did not see them there either last year. I think this is turning into a good topic. I hope someone here decides to sell them here if they can without losing money. I know I would buy them.
    I rec'd one today from Lisa in Ok who is on this board that she made. Awesome. Don't know if she saw this or just sent me one. LOL. Thanks Quilt-fanatic.♥♥

    Great.. I wrote it in my journal. Will be reading all the ideas here and making good notes. Now two people found those cards at the Houston show.....guess I was too busy grabbing up fabrics and new tools and such. Thanks for sharing everyone.
