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!
