Holiday Blog Hop and Giveaway

My project for the Quilting Arts Holiday issue was fabric postcards. I have made fabric postcards for Christmas the past several years and have found that making a thermo fax screen is the quickest way for me to make multiples of the same design. Unfortunately after making the cards the screen was never used again, so now I've come up with several other ideas to use the screen.

The screen I used was made from a photocopy of a christmas tree that I had hand stitched. That screen has now been used to make; ornaments, note cards, decorated napkins and tablecloth, aprons and custom christmas yardage. Some of these ended up as gifts and others I used myself.

The thermo fax screen will last a long time as long as it's cleaned well after each use. Wash it well with cool water, never let paint dry on it and store it flat.



Clockwise above are the notecard, napkins, postcard and ornament. The post card and the ornament have red french knots added, the napkins and notecard have dots of red paint.

Now to the giveaway part ... leave a comment on this post between now and Sunday, September 21 at noon MDT and one person will win a set of four napkins, the thermo fax screen and a copy of the Holiday magazine.  Due to shipping costs, only US participants please. Be sure to leave a way for me to contact you.

Be sure to check out the rest of the tour.
