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!
Judy in B.C. Canada
Pieced triangles and sequin pumpkins
Regina in Ohio
Sparkly fabric, layered leaves, buttons and bugle beads
Norma in Florida
She actually tied real acorns on with twine!
Note: this costs extra to mail, due to thickness of envelope
Kayenderes in New York
The cutest dimensional skeleton and Boo ribbon. Another
style that takes extra postage due to special handling
Christine in Victoria, Australia
Adorable symbols of New Zealand and Australia
MaryLou in Ontario, Canada
Black sheep landscape with crewel embroidery

  2. These postcards are all great fun. The group looks interesting and I tried to send a join request, but I can't get past those verification codes. Apparently I'm not seeing them correctly? Anyway, I've tried the email request you included at the bottom. So now I'll wait and see what happens. Thank you for this info. I'm a postcard art addict. LoL
