Sewing Themed Greeting Cards

I hosted a group swap on Swap-Bot where you had to make 2 sewing themed greeting cards to send to your partner. I ended up having to make four. One of the participants wasn't happy with the quality of cards her partner sent her. So I sent her some too. The lace on two of the cards is from 1976. I bought a sewing kit at an estate sale last year. It was full of vintage sewing supplies. The paper measuring tape was part of the loot. I thought it would look great on some cards.

The tuck refers to if you want enough quilt at the top to fold down and then up and over your pillow.

Easy English Paper Piecing Project

I haven't tried this method yet. Why? Because I don't sit down long enough to sew. Usually the only time I sit is when I eat, drive, sew, or compute. On the My Quilting Buddies group forum we are going to try some EPP. I goggled English paper piecing and found this cute project.
