This is my little contribution to the postcard project to save the Rupert VT post office. That place needs saved!
Jane said the Post Mistress is a quilter so I went with a patchwork theme. Imagine how fun it is for her to watch these come in. I glued down the papers, ribbons and embellishments then machine stitched them in place. I didn't add anything too dimensional since I figured it wouldn't help the cause if it broke one of the USPS sorting machines on the way there.
I hand stitched around the outside edge with a blanket stitch, something I apparently have little talent for - LOL! The heart is cut from an advertisement selling stamps for collectors. Over 600 postcards have been received so far and she is offering a
give-away based on cards received February 22 - 27. I am accidentally just in time since I dropped mine in the mail on the way to work this morning. Fingers crossed!

I didn't know about this project .... but loving Vermont and post offices, I think I should be all over this! Your contribution is very sweet.
Wow... 600? I sent mine off Tuesday! Yours is so great, Kathy... she is going to love it!
I'm sure every post office employee along the way will be checking out this adorable card. Let's hope it gets there in time! So creative Kathy...love the heart!
Great card, Kathy. I hope you win. That would be fun.
Wow! You overachiever, you! It's lovely and creative! I made mine this morning and even though it's not as pretty, I'm still going to it off, but not today because the snow's calf-deep on the way to the mailbox!
So beautiful! Love the blue roses and your hand stitching!! xo Heather
