Sometimes this is when some terrific spontaneous designs can happen. We were testing out a number of different supplies, when I quickly drew a feather that I could paint to see if there would be much "bleeding" across the lines. Once I got it home, I realized that I really quite liked it, I added a little doodling and turned it into this postcard.
I decided to make a couple more based on that same designThis one is using some tiny scraps left over from a previous painted fabric project, the little circles were coloured using Sharpie markers.
This one was done using a marbled fabric, the colour placement was not planned, I drew the individual feathers onto the paper side of fusible and simply pressed it to the marbled fabric and then cut out the feathers, sharpie markers were again used for colouring the circles.
Here comes the "sharing" part of this post...........would you like to have this postcard? I am afraid the first 2 are spoken for, but this third one will go to one of my blog readers. To have a chance to find this card in your mailbox, just leave me a comment. Are you a regular visitor or have you just recently come across this blog? I know that there are lots of you who visit often but don't always leave a comment and that's okay, but if you want a chance to win this card you'll have to let me hear from you. Remember to be sure I have a way to contact you. I'll announce the winner next Thursday, Sept 23rd so you have lots of time.

Your new postcards are beautiful. I would be extremely happy to receive one of them. I have subscribed to your blog in Google Reader for quite awhile now.
Yes please! It's a marvellous design, and I like the way it looks so different in the various colour ways. Your blog is always a delight.
I too, just LOVE your art. I've been following your blog for quite a while and you are always an inspiration to me. The postcard would look just wonderful in my sewing studio!
Hi there... I'm a follower. I love this feather. I'm also interested in what the results of your ink and marker research is. I've bought many brands of markers to test. I want to ink my own quilt labels, but most seem to run or fade, or bleed.
LOVE LOVE the feather!!
I've been an avid reader of your blog for ages. I love your creative prompt work as well as the logo for QC which I hope to attend in London. Your graffiti piece in the show earlier this year is spectacular. Keep up the good work and put me in the draw. i would love to win one of your postcards.
Gorgeous ...... make that GORGEOUS !!!!!!
As always you are such an inspiration.
Would love to win your postcard!! I follow your blog fairly regularly and love reading about your inspirations!! See you soon.
Jacqui
They are ALL amazing!
And yes, I would love to have my name in the draw for the remaining unclaimed one!
It is fun to see a design repeated and treated in such different ways; it holds well and provides so many options!
XXOO~~♥

Hey Jill ~ your favorite "stalker" here. You know how much I love your work ~ and while I'd love another piece of your art ~ I don't want to be greedy.... just wanted you to know how beautiful all these pieces are. You are just so talented! Congrats to who ever is lucky enough to win.
Yep,yep..who wouldn't want this postcard! Love your week and just I'm a follower!

Hi Jill, I love to make fabric postcards to send to friends and family and would love to receive one of your beauties. I enjoy your blog and creativity.
I am one of your recent followers....You are after my heart in more than one way...I'm a toy sewing machine collector (62 of them) AND a fabric postcard maker! However, your postcards are so much more beautiful than mine!
These are gorgeous! The one where you filled the feathers in with marker reminds me of Zentangles. Which I'm totally fascinated with after starting FMQ! = D
I do visit often without commenting, I just have to have a look at your doodles,projects, and creations.
Thanks for a chance to win the postcard it looks lovely and as always I am again inspired by your work.
Happy sewing
Jill, I would love to have that postcard in my collection, so I hope I'm lucky. Yup, I follow you. I just looove your stuff.

I just wanted to let you know that despite not leaving comments I enjoy your blog very much and you inspire me to try out things I would not otherwise be brave enough to try. I know I ought to let you know now and again; it is not very polite to just use and enjoy without ever letting you know so a huge
Thank you for sharing your adventures!
It is much appreciated.
Kind regards
