Several years ago I made a whole bunch of coasters to give away at one of my women’s group Christmas party. Everyone liked them. I felt like Oprah – you get one, and you get one, and you get one!

I mentioned back in January that I joined the Postcard Fabric Art group on Facebook. Every month is a new challenge. It has been interesting seeing all of the beautiful cards, and learning about the topic. Here are my first six postcards.

Dave has been spending a lot of time the past several weeks organizing. Once gardening season begins everything else pretty much is put on hold. We have an area in the garage where we put stuff in boxes for me to take to the local thrift store, or the Goodwill truck.
