Hello, do you trade fabric postcards
 

hello,
I used to trade fabric pc's years ago. Looking at them is still enjoyable and fun. Does this group exchange fabric pc's? I would love to exchange them again. This is the first google group I have encountered and I am not sure how it works. Please help me. Thank you.

Hi glendar...

I too used to participate in a fabric postcard swap a few years ago but it was on ebay. It was great fun.

Thanks for reminding me I have some.

Regards,

Hello Group,
What is a fabric post card? Is it material you glue to a post card of the item you are making or a quilt? I am in the dark, so please explain.

Hi Sandy,

I used to make them on FB - we used an index card and glued fabric to it - i.e. a theme say St Patrick's Day - and posted them to each other. Some were put into small cellophane bags to protect them with the stamp on the bag but others I have sent were unbagged. I also used to sometimes zigzag around the edge of the card. Hope that's helpful.

There are lots of tutorials on YouTube (and probably elsewhere) that show
how to make them. Here is one of them:

I looked at some others, and though they differed slightly in the
techniques, they basically consisted of the following steps:

1. Make a quilting block of some kind, the size, or at least the finished
size being 4"by6" (10cm x 15cm).

2. Zig-zag or satin stitch a piece of cardstock or scrapbooking paper to
the back of this quiltblock for the writing. I would think a 4x6 index
card would work, according to libreoffice, the European (A-series) size
would be A6.

Thus, basically you have a post card that has a quiltblock as the
picture, rather than a photograph like regular postcards.

It also might be a little more expensive to send since it is probably a
bit heavier than a regular postcard, and it cannot be sorted by machine,
it has to be sorted by hand.

real email address, but it is a "spamcatcher" address that I perhaps have
only been to twice in the past year, and that was just to empty it. So,
any responses sent to that address will probably not be seen.)
