Introduction

Postcards Around the World is a group for those of us who like to push the envelope (pardon the pun) and showcase our skills – or learn new ones to make friends around the world. Postcards are sent monthly and members can pick and choose which months they want to do. Sometimes there is a theme, sometimes not. All types of needlework are welcome – patchwork, quilting, embroidery by hand or machine, cross-stitch etc.Postcards should be 4″ x 6″ in size and made completely of fabric. No cardstock to be used.

The postcards can be sent ‘naked’ through the post – just make sure that your stamps are well stuck on. Or you can opt to send in a cellophane envelope or a normal envelope – this is recommended when there are beads, buttons or hand embroidery that may get snagged or damaged in the postal system. Contact me if you would like to join us. If you are a facebook user, please sign up through our Facebook page Postcards From Around the World www.facebook.com/groups/298296913598013/

Each month, on this page, there will be a gallery of the postcards sent and received.

We look forward to welcoming you to our group.
