I've heard of them, but never actually saw any before. They are wonderful - I've had a postcard collection for 52 years - so I am a postcard fanatic. Thanks for sharing photos. They're grrrrrrrreat as Tony would say.

I love these. They just moved to the top of the "to do list".
I'm headed to google to find a tutorial. You have inspired me to give this a try. Thank you so much for a new addiction.
(maybe this will get me away from bow tuck purses) I can hardly wait to do this.

Your PC's are great. I have four shoeboxes full of handmades that I traded over a period of about a year. Some are just unbelievable. I have just decided I may use some of them and make small journals using them as covers.

Very nice! :-D I have also gotten hooked on fabric postcards.
I use Fast2Fuse for the interfacing. It is fusible on both sides so all I have to do is fuse one side, quilt it, then fuse the backing. I have also made the backing by pressing freezer paper onto muslin and putting it through my printer. I use the master copy from the preprinted panel of postcards I got from an LQS. It is made by Avlyn and a really easy way to begin making fabric postcards.

I made some but I also made an envelope for them and gave them to the person that I made it for. Made them for some of my relatives. You can check them out on my webshots in the crafts section.
