Some lovely fabric art has been coming in over the past few years. We had a "Fabric Post Card" swap on February 20, 2016. (Type in "Fabric" in the Search bar on the middle right side of the Home Page to see examples.) Let's do it again!

I know not everyone has a "stash" of material. If I hadn't been in quilt-making mode twenty years ago I wouldn't have much fabric on hand. SO if you don't have fabric, you could buy a "fat quarter" or two or three... at a quilt shop. Maybe make a trip to a thrift store and purchase some interesting scarves, cotton skirts, shirts or boxer shorts to cut up :)
You may use fabric as a background, as a foreground or as collage elements. Or a combination.

Get creative and cut up an old bandanna or scarf. Use an old doily or table runner. (Do not cut up your grandmother's lace tablecloth unless you can get permission, or seek forgiveness...) Using fabric applique(s) would also be fine.  |

Machine sewing, hand-stitching, Heat n' Bond iron-on adhesive, fabric glue (or Elmer's) are some construction options. |

A white cardstock backing would give your art stability for the trip through the postal system. I will plan to send out any art with heavy or thick applique or loose elements either in cellophane sleeves or plain envelopes. (These will require extra postage...) |
