Fabric Postcard Pear

A Paper Pieced Pear 

I've always wanted to make a fabric postcard. 
And guess what I found  when looking through the latest issue , #4 ,  of Paper Piecing 1/4 "  digital magazine?


Click here to go to Paper Piecing 1/4"  digital magazine

Yay!  A pattern for making a paper pieced pear post card !

(Try saying that 3 times fast !)

**  Maybe you'll  want to just look at the pretty paper pieced pear postcard pictures from now on, if you are getting tired of my alliterations!


 This is a fun pattern... it comes out to be 4 " by 6 ".    

A Pear fabric postcard       pattern by Janeen at Quilt Art Designs
  from Paper Piecing 1/4" digital magazine issue 4 (here)



I found this biscotti jar when I looked for a snack  around in my kitchen  for some items
to 'pose' with my pear postcard !






Back of postcard: 
  { or alternate title: The posterior paper pieced  pear postcard preparations: } 

I found a free postcard template online, and saved it to a file.
Then, I used Print Artist software to import:
                                 ~  my Susie's Sunroom button as the stamp



                                 ~  and the text , "This is a postcard made at Susie's Sunroom. "

I printed my customized  postcard template on a  Printed Treasures fabric sheet . (here)  Two fit onto my Printed Treasures fabric sheet.
{ Note:   I had trouble getting all of the paper backing off of the sheet.  It is not a problem with making a post card. Could it be because my fabric sheets are older? )
Yay! There is one back ready to go for another fabric postcard!







Just pondering...Would anyone be interested in a fabric paper pieced  postcard swap ?


Oh, and just a reminder that next week-  March 2-8 - begins the
        " Simply Striped Pillow Blog Hop"

                                      right here at Susie's Sunroom !

  3. An awesome alliteration! What fun to see a postcard. I've used paper for the back but you're so clever to print on fabric. Thanks.

  6. Tee hee...I love alliteration even more than I love puns! What a sweet project! The little Susie's Sunroom postage stamp on the back should be a real stamp. Adorable!

  7. Your pear postcard came out lovely. So bright and summery! I haven't tried printing on fabric yet, but this would be a good excuse to give it a try. Add me to your postcard swap list please!
