Fabric/Textile Postcards

For those of you that may not following me on Facebook I have been also making fabric/textile postcards.  I love to send them to family and friends in place of a regular card one gets at the drugstore.  I also belong to a couple of Facebook Postcard Swap Groups where we are given a theme to work with and a swap partner to send to.  Hope you enjoy them.
