fabric postcards are off.....


What makes me happy here is....I finally figured out how to zig-zag around the edges and make it look nice! The secret is... letting the needle go off the edge!!
I am so pleased, I may make more.
Eventually.


I am keeping the top left one, his stitching was really bad. 
I actually had 8, but one was already sealed in an envelope when I remembered to take a picture. Then I was off to the post office. These went "as is" & so far all my postcards have made it safely to their destinations, so hopefully, these will also.
It cost an extra 20 cents for hand stamping them AND she used real stamps this time, not that print out thing! An angel stamp along with a George Washington.
Bye-bye guys!

Really cute fabric postcards, joetulip. I also sent along some fabric postcards. Maybe you'll check mine out. Mine went with a first class stamp, hand-canceled. It's odd how different postoffices charge differently. One even refused to hand cancel one time so I took it elsewhere! Some of my have glass beads and they won't go through the canceling machine. Duh!

Aaahhhh, aren't they cute!....uh...errrr...mmmnnmm....I like snowmen! How nice it would be to receive one! Uh...like I said...I REALLY REALLY like snowmen! Even getting the one with the bad stitching would be REALLY REALLY nice to get in the mail.....yes, I think snowmen are r-e-a-l-l-y awesome. Especially if you got one of these in your mailbox. Oh WOW, that would be sooo CRAZY to get to see one of these snowmen in person!!!!!
