I WON the lottery in October... a fiber postcard lottery that is! But this lottery makes me just as happy as any $$$ could. For the last 3 weeks, nearly a dozen surprise postcards have been arriving at my home in Michigan.
My FAV swap group holds a monthly FPC (fabric postcard) lottery. Anything goes! Your theme, your subject, your experiments! PostCardMailArt is a Yahoo Group with 80+ swapping members.
Here's what arrived ~

| Alesia in Tennessee My FAV colors of purple and orange! |
 |
| Barbara in Maryland Recycled selvedges from fabric yardage turned into hexagon quilt shapes |
 |
| Beverly in Georgia Inserted a Frankie motif from a Halloween fabric |

| Sheree McKee in Michigan I used up my seasonal ribbons and trims, but since I was the winner for October this was moved into the following months lottery |
 |
| Sue Balchak in California Glow in Dark fabrics and threads really do glow! |
 |

 |

 |
