cards


My mother-in-law needed some birthday cards for a couple of her girl cousins.
She wondered if I could make her some.
(she had talked to tractor joe, who said, "Mom needs 2 birthday cards")
I made a few birds with happy birthday on them,
postcard style

Hmmmm....there was hesitation as she looked.

This will work for one of them, but the other is turning 90,
and she is a quilter
and I need an envelope....
(tractor joe didn't get the details of what she was thinking)

Okay, back to the drawing board.
Now I had the details...


I made this one on card stock,
using fabric,
getting a quilt block on it,
 made sure it said 90,
and it is a real card with an envelope.
On my way to give them to her this morning!

Both of your cards are so cute!

Isn't it interesting how men interpret and transmit information to us? hee hee! Glad you made the save! And I hope your MIL liked the 2nd one.

So creative! I've been wanting to make postcards... not that much sewing to do right? but there are so many other projects that get in the way...
