Donate Your Quilted Postcards
Combine your love of sewing, embroidery, and surprises with these quilted postcards
Send a friend a unique fabric postcard through the mail, using these simple instructions and your own wacky ideas.
Quilted postcards are a great way to brighten up someone's day! They are not tossable like regular postcards, and are permanent reminders of your thoughtfulness.
Other than mailing your completed quilted postcards to friends and family, you can also donate them to raise much-needed funds for worthy causes.
