Description:

Holiday time is always party time. Let's spread some holiday cheer around with a Fabric Postcard Swap. You will have 2 partners to send to but you can make all 4 postcards the same since they will be to 2 different people. Send a Fall/Thanksgiving/Winter/Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanza....whatever you'd like that is a Fall/Winter theme.

I'm changing the number of partners to 2 rather than 4. I don't want to scare anyone away and there are lots of swaps going on. I hope this helps people that wanted to join but were concerned about the number of cards to make.
This is a stitching swap. Do not send a postcard that only has things simply glued to it.
You can find a fabric postcard tutorial that will give you so many ideas at http://needledmom.blogspot.com/2008/04/fabric-postcard-tutorial.html

You'll have plenty of time to work on these. Hint: You can make one big one and slice it into four 4"x6" cards and then complete with a backing. 4"x6" is the maximum allowed.

Fabric postcards should be mailed NAKED, not in an envelope, and hand-canceled if there is anything like a bead or fringe, etc. on them. Postal clerks will do this willingly; be sure to ask for it. Cost to mail the fabric postcard is the same as one first-class stamp (45 cents US). Some post offices may charge you a tiny bit extra to hand-cancel but they really shouldn't. None have ever charged me extra.

I'm doing this International because it doesn't cost anymore than a regular postcard $1.05 (US) to send international. They arrive safe and sound...I've known of 4 sent to Ireland from Alabama and they were perfect and went quickly.

2 partners, 1 fabric postcard to each partner. Stitching required on the card. Lots of tutorials on the Web. Search: fabric postcard tutorials if you don't like the one above. PM me if you have questions. I've made many and can help you out.
No flakers need apply!
