Fabric Postcards, Ferns and Ramblers

For a while now I’ve been part of an online fabric postcard exchange.  I was a bit late with this one, got distracted selling off or donating the last of mom’s things.  But I did get these done recently, and thought I’d share. I joined two swaps this time:  Alphabet and Song Titles.  I came up with the idea for the Alphabet, and fortunately a lot of people liked that one–we had two groups of six swapping letters A-B-C-D-E-F.   I picked F, and decided to stick with my “Maine” theme for the exchange:  Fiddlehead Ferns are common throughout the state, and are in spring considered a delicacy.  I’ve been told by a friend who grew up here (hi JQ!) that these are a taste best acquired in early childhood, but that even then she didn’t! But they are still beautiful:

I also had fun with the Song Title card, and love that quirky song, Beep Beep.  So I made these cards, with both the Little Nash Rambler and a fun cartoon character, the Roadrunner:

This card is the first time I’ve send one without quilting…but if I had done that I don’t think they would have been finished until about Easter!  Those little fiddly bits on the car were, well, FIDDLY!

If you don’t remember the song, here it is, thanks to YouTube:

    I thought of you yesterday. DH has been putting old VHS tapes on DVD and we watched our 1995 trip to Maine. We had some lovely shots of our B&B in Camden as well as shots of the bay and shops in town. It looked as nice as I remembered (shot in August when it was warm) 😉
