I belong to a group on Facebook.
We trade Free Motion Quilted Postcards
This is my June card that was recently mailed to California :^)
I really didn't have a plan and time was running out.
I looked at some fabric and just went with it

| Leftovers |
 |
| I love it!! |
 |
| The flower is all fused, leftovers from another project. I always draw the outline of the postcard on my piece so I know where to quilt. |
 |
| Free Motion Quilting, no specific design |
 |
| I decided so scribble the flower center |
 |
| The back |
 |
| Edge stitching. I get a really nice edge by doing a simple wide zigzag to keep it all together, then I do a satin stitch a minimum of three times around the piece. More if needed. |
 |
| I decided to do an orange blanket stitch on the edge and I think I like the result!!! |
 |
| And this is the postcard I got in the mail the same day mine was posted!!! Brilliant minds think similarly!! |
Take Care, Happy Quilting, and keep those needles sharp!! Martha
