Bluebirds on safari - the postcards

Since we stopped doing Airbnb (because the company went absolutely crazy), I don't need as many postcards as I used to so I don't make them as often. But there are lots of summer birthdays and, of course, I needed one for Mother's Day. I rarely make just one of a design. This one worked great for Mom and for some birthdays this month.

Lest you think I can draw a bluebird, the pattern for this came from here. I reduced it close to 50% to get the bird to fit perfectly on a postcard. The fabric were all from my pre-fused scrap bin and these clips were a lifesaver cutting out these small pieces. 

I even had the perfect backgrounds! These are some sunprints that I made at least 2 years ago and they were already fused onto the bases.

This is why I keep every little pre-fused scrap of fabric. This was perfect for a tree branch.

The one at the top of the post was for Mom. I made 6 more for birthday cards. It was great having the serger out so I could speed through the edges on these.

While I had the serger out I quickly finished the edges on these cards that I made from the scraps of my SIL's quilt.

I have 6 of these and they will be great birthday cards for this summer too.

​If all goes well today our generator and propane tank installation will be done AND the phone line they severed last week will be repaired. Fingers crossed!
