Hello, my name is Annie and I am a fabric postcard addict... 
...and you can help feed my addiction.

I've made a buncha fabric postcards over the past few years and sent them to family and friends for a variety of events or reasons.  But I'm worried now they may be tiring of them. 

But I'm not tired of making them!

This is where you come in.  I've had many admirers of my cards and I'm wondering if you would like to receive one?  As a follower appreciation gimmick giveaway, I want to sporadically offer up for grabs a postcard now and again.  Interested?

There won't be any jumping through hoops to win the cards, but since it's produced in appreciation of my followers and my flickr contacts, you have to be an already existing follower/contact when the card is offered up for grabs.

You can choose whether you would like me to mail the card to you from me (which means I write on it and address it to you and mail it to you naked), or you would like it to come to you ready for you to send yourself if you so choose to (which means I leave it blank and put it in an envelope to send to you). 

Mr. Random number picker will not be involved here.  I will just choose the winners, based on comments here and on flickr.  I would like to know that they go to caring homes.

Here are two cards up for grabs to start this off.  Let me know in your comment which one you would like.  Two recipients this time.

Tweet Bird


Butterfly Post

I so appreciate all the wonderful things many of you have commented in the past on my postcards.  I so love to make them.  Here's to hoping I will find some new recipients to send them to.  Cheers!

Annie

    I too love fabric postcards. They are fun to make and receive! Yours are lovely. I especially like your tweet one. I would love to see it in my mailbox. :)

    I wish you'd make them a bit bigger so I could hang them on my wall. I suppose then though, you'd have to call it a mug rug! Seriously, you KNOW I love your postcards and still have every single one you ever sent me!

    Annie, they are wonderful! I love the background prints on both of them. Did you print the fabric? I would feel privileged to receive one of your postcards. I especially like the little birdie.

    Annie I'd love to win the bird. My mother loved birds so much that even when she knew almost nothing she was still asking if we had filled up the bird feeders. Since she died I often have birds fly up and sit on my window screen outside my bedroom - something that never happened before. I think it's her way of saying, "Fill up the feeders!" :) blessings, marlene

    I would love to receive one of your darling postcards. I would pass it along to a dear friend who is feeling low and I know it would cheer her up. Thanks for the opportunity.

    Seriously? THANK YOU for the opportunity! I have a "thing" for birds. Love them. I would definitely choose to have you write on it and I would hang it on the wall in my sewing space. They are both so awesome!

    Fabulous!
    Would the little bird card like to fly over to the UK??
    Would you be willing to show us how to make one???

    Your little cards are both awesome!

    I love the little bird the best. I have a soft spot for the feathered tweeters.

    How could anyone get tired of receiving them?

    I love your post cards. Love the tweet one. Wish you would do a tutorial on how to do a postcard. I'm especially fond of your cat and have drooled over most of your pictures on Flikr. Thanks for the opportunity.

    I just found your blog through Sew I Quilt. I am your newest follower. I love both of your postcards, but that little birdy is calling to me, or should I say tweeting to me? I'll enjoy looking around your blog now. Glad I found you.

    Oh I forgot to tell you how I want the postcard if I am lucky enough to win one that is. Please address it to me and sign your name on it. I would treasure it as a beautiful little piece of art that I will hang in my quilt studio. It would not get mailed to anyone else.

    I love the bird : )

    I am awestruck by your generous offer! I have admired your postcards and didn't think there would ever be an opportunity to receive one. You see, I can't make them....just too tiny and too perfect and too artistic! So if you were offering a postcard exchange, I would have to pass. But you are offering an opportunity I can not pass up on. I would love to be the recipient of one of your cards, I have a little bulletin board on the wall in front of my sewing machine, a perfect place to post it! Thank you for offering this opportunity! And of course, I am a follower and a Flickr friend! I would love to see it come in the mail as a 'real' postcard!

    "Tweet" is right up my alley--I have a thing for birdies, and french text... and I'd frame this for my sewing studio as the coloring is perfect. Been following you in Google Reader since we were in the Ghastlies Blog Hop together, and you know I love those pillows and postcards you create. Still wanting to make a version of your January pillow for myself...

    What a generous offer!

    Your fabric postcards are mini works of 'heart' and I'd love to be the recipient of one...signed, of course! The pretty butterfly would be my choice and you can be sure it would be put on display in my sewing room for inspiration! (I'm already a follower and appreciate your generosity).

    Oh my goodness, Annie, this is the first time I've seen your fabric postcards and they are just so pretty! I have a thing for birds these days so your bird one is my favorite. I collect stamps so the postcard theme sings to my heart as well. I can't imagine anyone ever getting tired of receiving such a pretty present!

    (Jumping up and down, waving frantically) Me! Me! (It really is all about me, you know. LOL) Girl, I have loved seeing your postcards, but never been adventurous enough to try to make one. Now, if I had an Annie-original here to inspire me? YEAH!!
    Heehee! I love all of them....would love to give one a new home, especially if it were autographed by its creator!! :)

    I. Would. Love. One!
    Both are sew sweet so hard to choose...but the butterfly has won me over.
    I'm inspired to try making one of these postcards; maybe I'll get hooked on it too and even enter a swap one of these days (have never done one of those, either). Thank you for offering us a chance to own one of your lovely postcards and for the inspiration, Annie!

    I think Tweet Bird would be soooo happy in my sewing room above my machine. I have a little shelf there with a spot just the right size. I'm not offering this selfishly, I'm thinking of Tweet... ;)

    Hi Annie, I just found your blog and I adore your quilty postcards. I am so interested in collage art work and plan to try my hat at making some collage quilts. Your little piece would go up on my wall in my studio next to an landscape piece I made for a challenge. Thanks for allowing me to enter your giveaway, I love the cute little bird.

    I love them both, but the 'tweet' one is my favorite. I've never tried to make a fabric postcard. I'd love to see a tutorial. My 3 kitties send greetings to your kitty!! (And, they promise not to touch the bird or drool too much on the postcard if they should be so lucky to receive one!!)

    I remember the first time I saw one of your fabric postcards and how awestruck I was--they are amazing! They are both so beautiful I'd love either one, but if I have to choose--the butterfly would look lovely on the table in my hallway. You're so generous to share them with us!
