Collage Postcards

At our quilt show earlier this month, I bought some antique Japanese textile scraps. today I made 3 collaged postcards using these yummy scraps. Here they are. I used muslin on the back instead of card stock. It is more difficult to do the zigzagged edges. Think I will go back to paper.

Day Nine of Twenty Days of Virtue I’m reaching the half way point and feeling as if I am plateauing. So I must steel myself against the temptation to give it all up. I’ve been so busy this week, I have hardly had time to think about eating anyway and fitting in exercise is a challenge. I got in a half hour of aerobics this morning before I went to work in the SDA office. I didn’t stay to do weights because of my wrist which is feeling so much better. I may try sleeping without the brace tonight. Tomorrow is a big day at the guild. We are having Phil Beaver as our guest speaker and he is doing a two day workshop Friday and Saturday. So I have to get in there early to make sure we have enough chairs for all of our guests.

    Gerrie, you’re doing great with your 20 Days! Just think, you are almost halfway there. Re: clothes getting smaller – unfortunately everything I own is elastic or one size fits most. Nothing to tell me something’s happening – aargh!

    What do you use for batting? A stablizer should aid with the zigzag.

    LOVE them!

  8. Love you postcards! When you mention using cardstock, do you mean you quilt over that instead of batting? Or is it in addidtion to batting?
