I'm finding postcards a little hard because they are so small. I do BIG, small to me is 36" square, the format is very restricting. I found with this last lot I did a bit better by cutting a strip 8" by 30 something and working it as a piece with evenly spaced trees, they will then be cut up into postcards. I had the brilliant idea of using the hole punch to cut perfect little circles out of red felt for fruit on the trees. Perhaps it's our hole punches but I only got 3 or four fruit, a holey bit of felt and have managed to jam up all the hole punch machines.
Plan A was to just embroider little blobs of red. So plan A it is then. I painted the trees with textile medium, as much to intensify the colour as anything else. After all I don't suspect they will be washed at any time......

Ah now I see what you mean, they sounded 'different' when you described them. What is it with quilters and blue ironing board covers. Mine have all been and most of my friends are too.
Like the stash drawers too, wish I had the space to do something like that.
