HELLO EVERYBODY!! I really like all that I am seeing!! I will have my postcard for Stashmaker out on Wednesday. So very sorry for the delay. I am back in town from helping my ex husband take care of his Mother who has Alzheimers and get the paperwork submitted for her to be admitted to a memory care facility. My heart just breaks even thinking about it. Such a kind and wonderful woman and always so loving to me. It was so emotional to see her in such a state. It wouldn't be so tough if I knew she was in a better place mentally or emotionally, but that isn't the case.

Really like those googly eyes and bird legs!!!

I have received my postcards from both of my partners today. What a sweet surprise in my mailbox. I received 2 postcards from my partner, Pam P. They are both awesome. So colorful and so me! "Surf's up Dude!"

And the 2nd one. I just love the colors of these love birds.

And this is the wonderful postcard I received from petthefabric. She wrote a little play on words on the back. Very clever and very cute. I was just thinking that no one had done a chicken yet. And this "chick" arrived in my mailbox. lol

And, if that isn't enough inspiration, I made one more "Bird" card, as Dorothy would say, feathers and beaks. :) I made this card for a cyber friend. Hope it brings her a smile.

Chubby Chicks Rule! :D She's got style and attitude. Maybe not as much as petthefabrics tho. lol :D

Oh Dorothy, so sorry for all you are dealing with. So sad. It was very nice of you to be there for XH and M-I-L. I pray that she will settle into her new home. I know that can be very upsetting for them. I hope that it brings you some peace and comfort to know that she is in a safe place being looked after.

Keep us posted on your card. I hope it will be a welcome diversion at this stressful time. If you need any help, just let me know.

Wow, Judith -- you hit the postcard jackpot! Those are awesome postcards! Each is great in its own way. Kudos to everyone!

Glad you liked them! I didn't think I was going to be able to salvage the penguin card after I cut through the top third of the card with the rotary cutter.that's why the sun is missing some rays. But I cut around them and reappliqued to another sky background so I was glad I could save it. Love the chickens too ☺ I was going to make one with Foghorn Leghorn, Woody woodpecker, and Tweety Bird but then I figured I would just be showing my age😉

Hi everyone,

Nan62, I love the fpc with goldfinches that Cindy A sent you. We have them daily at our feeders. They are such precious little things.

A few days back I received my adorable postcard from JuneBillie. I mentioned I would post a pic the following day with better lighting. Well life got in the way and then when I went to do it, the batteries to the camera needed to be charged (they are old rechargeables and on their way out, I think).

We each included a species of pine trees on our postcards. Sadly, Susan has yet to receive her postcard from me :(. I am going to ask her if she would like me to post a pic to the group of the one I did make and sent on to her, but I am also going to make her another one.

Best,
deb in Maine

Whigrose, JuneBillie, I see now by what you meant by water colors. It is so soft and serene. I love your "pinked" edges as well. And, your hand embroidery just keeps the theme of the cards. Very pretty.

Whigrose 08-17-2015 02:35 PM

Oh my gosh, Judith1005, did you hit the fpc lotto or what? Each of them are adorable.

When I first opened it up and saw the penguin, that was adorable, then there THREE more. As someone that has parrots as companions, I adore the lorikeets. Then of course there is the funky chicken and the hen with attitude.

You ladies have me so outclassed. I belong in T-ball league while you are all in the majors. (I'm taking my bat and going home :)

Such sweet, funny, adorable, funky, creative postcards from everyone.

Best,

Hi ladies, I have started the August thread just a little early. I have been having some computer problems. So I wanted to post it now in case my computer has to go into the shop. http://www.quiltingboard.com/member-...ml#post7289098 I do have a tablet and my phone. But, it is not always convenient to do everything on it. But, I won't be out of touch either.

Oh no you don't. We love having you. We all learn at a different pace. And, we haven't even seen your postcard yet. I'm intrigued that you and JuneBillie had a common element without even knowing it. So, you see, you have to stay with us. We aspire to inspire each other. :)
