Is there a particular theme to the post cards? Color scheme?
or anything goes?

Hi y'all:
I've read alot of different info on how to prepare postcards

are you using "timtex" or "fast 2 fuse"??????

I heard fast 2 fuse is better.

Amazon.com had 3 different books, put "fabric postcards" in the search and they'll come up. I ordered 2, can't remember the names right now.

I have a couple of questions.... do we do the quilting also? Do we mail separately and they really get stamped?? Living in all this corn country has me corn-fused!

cindy - check your pm

we do the quilting although I have seen some that were not quilted and were absolutly beautiful
we will be mailing to naniyosie and she will send back out so we don't mail individually - they actually can be stamped but it is not necessary for this swap

Cindyb. If you want to quilt your postcards, it's entirely up to you. I have seen alot of fabric postcards, and there were only a few that were quilted.

Also, I saw a few postcards that didn't have a zig zag 'binding' around the edge. As a matter of fact, there wasn't a binding at all. They did look 'finished' though.
