Judy and I got together and made several postcards - some featuring pets, others holidays or just fun. We're sending them off tomorrow.
Info below tells where and how if you are interested.
From Pokey Bolton:For this
fall’s International Quilt Festival/Houston, we are launching our
first of three Festival Pet Projects, and we are inviting YOU for this fall’s show to make fabric postcards that will sell for $20 each to benefit Friends for Life. Would you be willing to make and donate a one-of-a-kind fabric postcard? I am hoping we get at least 500 fabric postcards, and if they all sell, that is $10,000! (And wouldn’t it be fantastic if we got even more?) We encourage ALL types of fabric postcards: animal-themed, abstract imagery, landscapes, floral pieces, etc. The point is to raise as much funds as we can! If you are interested in making a fabric postcard (or two or three or more), here are the requirements: Each fabric postcard must be 4? x 6? and can have either a horizontal or vertical orientation. They should be stitched (hand or machine) and consist of a front, batting (or interfacing), and a back. As these postcards will not be going through the mail, it is OK if they are in excess of 1/8? in thickness. So if you want to heavily embellish your postcard(s), go for it! You are not limited to making just one fabric postcard. Create as many fabric postcards as you like! On the back side of the fabric postcard, please sign your name and title your postcard. (Contact information is optional.) These fabric postcards are due at the Quilts, Inc. office no later than Tuesday, October 23rd. Please note: this is a received-by date. You can mail as many fabric postcards as you would like, but please place them in a padded envelope. This way they will stay in pristine condition to be displayed at Festival. Please mail them to: Festival Pet Project Attn: Pokey Bolton 7660 Woodway Suite 550 Houston, TX 77063 |
