I’ve been blogging about the monthly challenges and programs at my modern guild, hoping it will be helpful to some of you who need challenge or program ideas. Here’s a recent one: we made fabric postcards.
I gave out pieces of Peltex 71F cut 4″ x 6″ to use as the stabilizer and backing for the cards. I gave no further guidance, though I did bring an example to pass around.
Here is the example
I probably should have provided a handout with some basic instructions, since we have members with quite variable skills, as do most guilds. Anyway, here are some of the postcards people made. As you can see, they varied in technique quite a bit, and all were fun.
Kim’s clever Bee Kind postcard–she paper pieced the bee!
Somebody had some cute quilt lady fabric and put a nice frame around it
Coffee is always popular, and the fusible broderie perse worked well
Somebody else stitched elaborate designs like Zentangles on hers
Bev made a bird with a nest of torn strips and beads sewn on for eggs
Mine was titled “A Different UFO”. I’ve had that UFO button a long time!
Zippy Quilts 
Those are so cute and such a good idea.Thanks.
They were fun! Glad you enjoyed them.
Loved the variety/creativity!
Thank you 😊
These are fantastic and were fun to look at. The zentangle one was very cool, as was the sample one with the rose you had!
Yes, I chose the Zentangle one to come home with me
Nice!
What a lovely idea! I never thought of quilted postcards…I think I will try some.
I just found your blog and I find it very informative.
Thanks!
