Quilt Cards

Isn't cute? What could be more summery than flying kites. Thanks Mary Ann!

You never know who might make you one Mary.

I took it to the post office yesterday.

I love both Mother's and Ann's!

Mom and Ann have been busy this weekend. Ann's in Virginia for a visit and she finished up her Sunflower card for June and then they both had to try the bookmark postcards like the one Debbie posted.
Ann's is on the left and Mom's is on the right. So...is anyone sending me a bookmark postcard?

Glad you got it Mother. And that you liked it.

I got my card today Deb, thank you it's very cute. I like the book mark

How very cute Deb, what a good idea. I can't wait to get it. I will probably try some book marks myself. It's a good thing I have you and Mary to give me ideas. Mary is always showing me new things to try also. She says some time I get stubbom and don't want to try new things.

I just talked with Mother, and she tells me that several of you are working ahead on your cards. So, in light of that I'll post the themes for each month thru the end of the year.

Keep in mind that these are just suggestions, and you are free to make anything you want. But if you like following a theme like I do, here they are.

July......."patriotic"
Aug......."Heat"
Sept......"Work"
Oct......."Halloween"
Nov....."Thanksgiving"
Dec....."Christmas"

So there you have the next 6 months. It's really fun to see what everyone comes up with, and amazing how different they all are even with the same theme.

I'm really enjoying this and I hope you all are too.

Every one's June cards are so cute! I got Heather's yesterday. Thanks Heather, it really is great...I love it! The beaded flower is beautiful!

I got mine finished today, so it will go in the mail tomorrow. So Mother, if you want to be surprised...don't look!

I was making a bunch up as class samples for a class I will be teaching at the local quilt shop late summer, and it occurred to me that putting the pellon between 2 pieces of fabric would make a good bookmark too. I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world that figured this out, but I decided to combine them with a postcard. So that is what I did for my card this month. I also made some extras for Kara, Sam and Don. But here is the first one for Mother... in the postcard's pocket.

And out.

Mary that;s very nice . I love it you always come up with something different.

I finally finished the edges of my card and it's being mailed out today - this was my first attempt at ribbon embroidery and the card is entirely hand made!

I got your June postcard! It came out so nice! Thanks:)

Mom has gotten her postcards done through September and is probably going to get the holiday ones done soon too! She's keeping herself BUSY.

The one on the left is my May card from Debbie and one the right a bird's nest postcard sent to me by an online friend. Both have all kinds of cool fibers on them and Debbie's has a bunch of beads in the flower center too.

Heather, I like both of these summer themed cards! I've got to get the back on mine and mail it out now that we're home from Toronto.

Here's a photo of Mom's card for this month.

Heather the ice cream looks good enough to eat during all this hot weather. Your card and your Mom's card both look good. You are on the ball this month nice and early. I need to get mine in the mail too

This month mom did a postcard of ice cream and I did the flip-flop.

Ok the June swap list is done. The mail by deadline is June 25th and the theme for this month if you want to work to a theme is "SUMMERTIME".
