I have committed to making 25 (quality) postcards for the Fiberart for a Cause led by the amazing Virginia Spiegel. There is a link t the left, if you want more information. The postcards sell for $30 each at the Houston International Quilt Festival.
So I am in a postcard frenzy trying to get these done and mailed to Virginia before the sixth of September so that I might have a chance of winning one of the wonderful early bird prizes. Here is my Cosmic Circle series. I cut up the Cosmic Circles art quilt which was giving me fits and I like it better as 6 postcards. On some of them, I have foiled some embellishment.
I apologize for the quality of these photos; I usually scan them, but the reflection of the foil and the organza was a problem.
This is a collaborative postcard. I found the pieced background at June Underwood’s porch sale/giveaway. I quilted it and added the Japanese kimono bamboo images. I call it Bamboo Fence.
I have two more series to finish and photograph: Square Dance and Secret Garden.
Gerrie, i love the Eufloria series and the Circle pieces—-lovely lovely lovely!
Great cards for a great cause.
Good for you to re-purpous (sp?) a quilt you were not satisfied with. Post cards are such a perfect medium and yours have such nice colors and textures. I like the added sparkle of the foil.
Hi Gerrie, Gee, I’m glad to have collaborated with you. I have a “few” other pieces that you could use in your 25-for-Houston quest. I haven’t been able to do any postcards, so it’s even nicer to see you using that bit of flotsam from my porch. cheers, June

Wow, Gerrie. Each one is more vivid and fresh – a lovely sequence that’s very inspiring.
Wonderful postcards, Gerrie! 25 is a marvelous goal.
What creativity! Wish it would traverse its little self across the country and light upon me for a while!!!
Enjoy your Sunday!

Great postcards! And what a good idea to cut up a quilt you were not satisfied with. That’s something I have often thought about doing, but never got around to :-)I love the matching varigated thread for the edges as well. It looks as if you are having fun, so keep going, you’ll have 25 before you know it!
