Hi Cuties,
I have been visiting this site for over a year. What a wonderful group you have! Here is my first post. The pattern is from SewBird. All free as long as you don't sell them. The front have Bible verses & the back is old shirts. I use them as postcards. (yes, they are fabric and mailable) The middle is interfacing. I serged the edges. Cindy

Thank you, Loralye. The stamp is self adhesive. No problem with any of the 60 I have mailed. I already do feel comfortable.

3364166014Excellent! I have thought of doing this, and mailing them. I thought they would get dirty.

No complaints from any of the recipients, yet. They are also washable if they were to become dirty.

173690I have the Bible verses but haven't stitched any. They look like they stitch out really well. What a beautiful idea to mail as postcards!

Start stitching! I used an old chef coat for some of them. It really was sturdy & never jammed or bunched.
Thank you!

Yes, they were lots of fun. They also make a nice card to write a birthday, thank you, or other note on. Seems like they always end up in just the right hands & always perfect timing!

You are right about the lurking! I will try to be regular in posting!
Thank you
140717I made a quilt few years ago with some of these verses. I love the post card idea as I agree it is a great idea to share. Better than regular cards any day.

Lillian, thank you for the warm welcome. The idea of a quilt was the beginning of this project, but it switched to postcards. I am glad of it, as I could share with more people.

Thank you for the kudos. As you know, there are way too many scriptures to choose from. I loaded 50 at a time on my card & just started stitching. Then I came across the postcard idea on the web. I was totally hooked!

Hi Suzanna,
Sorry for the let down, but Kalamazoo is from co workers. It rhymed with Cindy Lou. Don't know how they dreamed that one up, but it stuck! Never been to Michigan, but I do love to sew.
Thanks for the kind words. Are you the one with the bear attacks??

360638Hi Cindy and welcome to Cute. What a fantastic collection of embroidered postcards and using old shirts. That has probably given others the idea too. Now you have made your first posting please take part as its much more fun than just reading (as I remember doing the same a few years ago)
