Yesterday my best friend sent me this photo of her Christmas decorations for this year. She will be out of town for Christmas so she decided to pull out all of the Christmas postcards. I know that the silver tree (second card on back row) was the first card ever so that means that this year is the 19th year that I've been making them! Then she sent me this photo of all of the other cards that I've sent her, mostly birthday cards. The sun looking one in the middle is all thread painted and, I think, the first card I ever sent her. It might be the first card I ever made. A few of the cards are from some online swaps that I used to participate in. It's fun seeing them all together! We had quilt club last night so I wanted to get a couple more veterans quilts quilted and I finished just in the nick of time. This one was made by Becky with a line of fabrics from Barbara Brackman. This one was made by my Mom from some fabrics that I brought home from Maine one year.
I have 2 more veterans quilt tops in the closet and should be able to get on with those today.

It is interesting to see all of the cards she has collected. Of course most years (maybe all 19?) you make more than one design. So each person probably has a different collection. I recognize a couple of those as ones in my collection.

I've always liked your cards, but having them all together in one place is quite impressive! And beautiful.

I display mine all year around at the top of my design wall. It is fun looking at them.

I love seeing all your cards displayed. And I do remember seeing some of them on your blog. Love the other cards, too - they are all so creative. I love the 2 quilts you've shown.

I guess I must have been reading your blog for a long time because I remember a lot of those cards.
