Nothing says comfort like a handmade quilt. Snuggling in with a beautiful quilt is like getting a comforting hug. Now, you can send a hug to loved ones far away or right next door with this easy quilted card. To make this card, you will need an embossing machine and an embossing folder. Embossing machines can be found fairly affordably at big craft stores (use your 40% off coupon). Lately, I've been seeing them at Tuesday Morning, as well. You will also need several small scraps cut into squares. You will want to start by adhering your squares to a piece of light weight card stock. I used the edge of the card stock to help me align my squares. Then, I carefully cut the arrangement of squares from the sheet of card stock, and matted it with another piece of light weight card stock. This was run through the embossing machine with a scalloped embossing folder. I chose the scallop because it's what my grandmother used for her "everyday" quilts. She would tie a pencil to a string and pin the other end of the string to the front of her quilting frame, using a thumb tack. She would then draw an arc, wrap the string around her pencil once, and draw another arc, wrap it again, and so on. Then, she would move the thumb tack over several inches and do it again, until she had a row of scallops drafted out across her quilt. My grandmother would piece quilts in her spare time all year, but the quilt frame didn't go up until after the canning was done in the fall. Embossing folders are like magic. Flat paper goes in, beautifully textured paper comes out. I added stitching lines with a black smudge-proof, permanent pen before embossing. Next, mat your embossed piece and adhere it to a card base. Add a sentiment, and you have a lovely hug anyone would be happy to receive.

I love quilting. I love Postcrossing. Who says my two favorite hobbies can't collide in some bizarre multiverse? Not me. So with that, I decided to start making fabric postcards. Naturally, I will not be using these all of the time, but I made a few to try out for some of my best pen pals. This one is for my cousin Zizi (real name = Suzy). Her favorite color is red, but she kept cracking up at the Berenstain Bears fabric, so I thought to branch out and make this. Plus, look at the expression on Mama Bear's face. It is so mysterious, almost like the Mona Lisa. Well, Suzy is an amazing artist and has done a few paintings inspired by the Mona Lisa, so I thought this was appropriate. Too bad the little lamb in the corner blends in and got stitched over. This next one is for my cousin Kiki (Real name = Kimberly. She and Zizi are sisters). Her favorite color is pink. I wanted to try and use different values of pink so that it wouldn't be overwhelmingly pink. Plus, the lamb fabric is my faaaaavorite and I love using it. Luckily this lamb survived. This next card is for my pen pal Kamilla from Norway. She was actually the first person I ever sent a postcard to through Postcrossing! Almost 300 postcards sent so far, and she is still the person I write to most. She is a die-hard Slytherin fan, so naturally the card had to be all green. This card is for my other pen pal, Andrzej from Poland. He just started at seminary, so I thought a cross inspired card would be appropriate. I love this wood grain fabric, and used the greens and blues to represent the grass and sky. So the postcard that I am going to use as an instructional tool has an important purpose. One of my very close friends is moving away from Texas, and I am making her a quilt. But there is no way I am going to have it done before she moves, so I will be mailing it to her. Consider this postcard a teaser trailer for the actual quilt. I am using scraps that will eventually be in the quilt, so she can get an idea what to expect. I finished the postcard in time to even have it waiting for her at her new apartment in Tennessee. Now for the tutorial! I am going to show you how to make an easy string pieced postcard. You can easily make a block in the regular way, and just jump in with the interfacing step and beyond. The front of this postcard is made by using foundation paper piecing. You can use any type of paper for this, but I prefer to use phonebook paper because a) it is free b) it is easy to tear out later c) it is thin enough to see through, if you need to. Also, you might want to use an older rotary cutter blade for this project because it is going to get dulled cutting through paper. I prefer to make a standard sized postcard, which runs about 4" x 6". To do this, you need to start by cutting a 4.5" x 6.5" rectangle out of whatever paper you are using as your template. If you are using a small sized phonebook, you can get two of these out of one sheet, fyi. See! Once you have your template, you are going to string piece the fabric together. Start by laying down the center strip, and then place another scrap on top of it, right sides together, making sure that one edge lines up. Notice that my strips are way too long. They don't need to be this long, but they do need to be longer than the paper by about 1/2" because of the seam allowance. I sewed all of this with a 1/4" seam allowance. You are sewing through the fabric and the paper! It is also very important to use a teeny tiny stitch length. This will help to perforate the paper and make it easier to tear it out when you are done. So, once you have the first two strips sewn together, iron those bad boys and admire your work. This is what it looks like from the back. Then you are going to add the next strip, right sides facing, and sew it in place. Aaaaand iron it too. You could finger press them between sewing, but since they are destined to be postcards, I want them to be as flat as possible to avoid getting shredded in some mail vortex. Then you are going to continue sewing strips until the whole paper is covered by fabric. I am not going to torture you with all of these, because I'm hoping by now you get the gist of it. Once all of the strips are sewn on, this is what the sheet will look like from the back. At this point you need to trim off the excess fabric. Work your way around the rectangle, trimming as you go. Then presto! You have a perfectly pieced scrappy rectangle. At this point you are ready to remove the paper. Thanks to our tiny stitch sizes, the paper just pulls right off. It feels like MAGIC! Obviously you should take all of the paper out. I only left some to show how well it comes off. Now we need to make the fabric into a postcard. Layer one: Fusible interfacing. You can use any weight you want, but since I use cardstock as the backing later, I stick to Featherweight or ShirTailor weight. You are going to cut a 4.25" x 6.25" rectangle (smaller to account for mess ups). Then iron this on to the back side of your fabric, trying your best to keep it centered. The bumpy/scratchy side of the interfacing should be the side facing the back of the fabric. A pressing cloth might be helpful at this point, but I showed it without, so you can get the idea. So the best thing about the interfacing (okay, maybe not THE best, but good!) is that it holds your seam allowances in place. Woohoo! Then you are going to use a 4.25" x 6.25" piece of fusible web (I like Wonder-Under). This stuff has glue on both sides, but one is protected by paper backing. Iron the non-paper backed side to your fusible interfacing side. Then you need to cut a piece of cardstock that is 4.25" x 6.25" (or 4" x 6" if you are bad at centering when you iron) and affix it to the back of the card. To do this, you need to peel off the paper backing from the fusible web, then iron. I didn't take a picture of this step, because you probably already know how an iron works. At that point, it is a postcard, but it isn't quilted! Depending on the design, I sometimes stitch down the middle (increase your stitch length back from microscopic) and then zig zag around the edges. You can use any fancy stitches you want to, but my machine is fairly no-nonsense. If you have a serger or a machine where you can change the stitch width, you can make it look nice and finished on the edge. Then you are done!! All you have to do at this point is write a message, copy an address, and stick a stamp. Woohoo! I hope this was easy to understand. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
I have been thinking about doing this since the interview with SwapDex. It was really how i started in the big, bad world of swapping. I know, of all the things- fabric postcards. But they
