Fabric Postcards
Created mainly from fabric, with some paper added to the mix when it seems to call for it, I have a lot of fun making these. They are all 4" X 6". To make them sturdy enough to mail, I usually work on a base of Timtex, which is stiff but easy to sew.

A reminder of the Hill country in the spring. I painted the landscape on paper, using disperse dye, transferred it to polyester, then added details with free-motion stitching.
