Penny’s Postcard Posse needs you! That’s right, Crazy Quilters of America, Penny Halgren is enlisting all needleworkers, fiber artists, scrapbookers, quilters of every type, including us crazies, in her bid to recognize and support our troops abroad. Penny and her helpers send fabric postcards to our military personnel: to date over 12,928 cards have been sent! Formed by Penny for the Fourth of July holiday in 2006, this first postcard drive rounded up more than 139 greetings for soldiers in Iraq. Since then, many more quilters have joined the effort, along with kids, families and service groups. Postcards are sent for six holidays during the year, so there is always a theme to work with. I put a piece of camouflage fabric in the scanner, changed the colors in Photo Shop to something the Easter Bunny liked, and sent him and two more friends off; I got a big kick out of his military bearing! Penny supports a fabulous website, where you can find everything you need to get started: free instructions for building your postcards, photos of cards already sent, guidelines and the date calendar shown here. Dates for Penny's Postcard Posse 2009
Please send your cards to:
Please join me in this great effort to send caring messages to men and women stationed far from home in the service of their country. Penny tells me that crazy quilters may include any dimensional work they like, including beads, found objects, photos - whatever you can think of that would bring a smile to the face of these deserving people.
The next date is for the Forth of July 2009 holiday - due date to have your postcard mailed to Diane Malaznik is MAY 20 -YOU CAN JUST MAKE IT! Thanks to Christi Paulson for the heads up! Penny’s Postcard Posse: http://www.fabric-postcards.com/ |
