Quilt Festival’s Pet Project Postcards to benefit Friends For Life, Houston’s premier no-kill rescue organization and animal shelter, are starting to arrive in batches at Quilt Festival headquarters, and I thought it would be fun to give a sneak peek at what you can buy on the show floor for just $20!
How cuddly and adorable is this fabric postcard?!
“It’s Cold Outside!” by Sarah Ann Smith
“Woof!” by Sue Bleiweiss

Ann has made a number of fabric postcards so far, including this floral-themed piece.
Calling All Quilters! We need fabric postcards, and not just animal-themed ones, we welcome all styles and motifs!
If you want to try your hand at a small quilt (oh, say…4″ x 6″), then why not make a beautiful fabric postcard to donate to our cause? We are accepting them here in our office through October 23, so you have more than two more weeks to make as many fabric postcards as you would like!
If you want all of the details, you can find them in this blog entry, and please, please spread the news!

I have made 1 postcard so far, but plan to do a couple more. They’re fun to do, and fun to send to unsuspecting friends and family.

I started 10 the day you first posted. My goal is to get them in the mail no later than the 15th of this month. Had 20 ladies over for tea this past weekend, so had to lay them aside, but this week no commitments other than postcards!
Still trying to finish up at least seven that are based on images of cute kitties and puppies in vintage advertising. Will be dropping them off at your offices this week. Not sure what day yet.
I have one done and plans for two more! I am having fun with these…and am Mom to several rescue animals of my own! Thanks for doing this Pokey!
I will do at least 1 and hope it gets there in time from Canada…
That was a getter. You got me. I will make at least 1 for the cause. Hope to make more!!!
Working on postcards…
I’ve sent info to friends…
Hope you rake in the bucks for the critters!
I’ve made 5 so far.
I`m working on it !
Nine postcards will be mailed to you tomorrow. I’ve posted pictures of them on my blog. http://www.cindylarsen.wordpress.com
I am making a pet postcard in memory of our Gus and Jasmine. We know they are with all of those pets who have passed enjoying all of the things they loved on earth.
I will be sending my cards soon along with several from friends who want to help out too! Thanks so much for doing this. . .it is always a good cause to support our furry friends waiting for their forever home. ♥
My fabric art group are meeting on Thusday Oct 11 to make postcards to mail for your project.
I have three made already, two more half way there. Will pop them in the mail before week’s end. May even get more done!!! Especially if I win this fabric!
I had so planned to make many….ah…didn’t not plan for my Mom to land in the hospital
– but she’s out after 11 days….to celebrate, I WILL make one tomorrow!
I am definitely sending you some postcards! I hope you make lots of money for the shelters!
Got two made, finishing up two more in the morning, sending by the weekend.
Just bought a book at the AQS Des Moines show about making fabric postcards and can’t t wait to try my hand – look for at least one from me!
I’m making tons of postcards: such a great Cause!
Hi
I am in the process of making a postcard to send for the cause. Love the PC’s you’ve shown today, all lovely!
Best, Ani
If you get this twice it’s because the first post didn’t show up. I am making and sending a PC, love the one’s you’ve posted today, all very lovely, Ani
10 cards, all about dogs, went into the mail to you on Saturday, you should have by Thursday. Hope you get lots and lots to help the shelter, I’m sure you’ll meet your goal!
Certainly I’m working on the postcards! I am happy to be involved with this project, thanks!
Hi Pokey,
I’m making at least one postcard for your pet project! I announced it at our September guild meetings (Quilt Guild of Greater Houston). Big thanks to member Ann Graf for letting us know about it. This is a fantastic idea. Friends for Life is a valuable, wonderful shelter. Took my rescue dog, Izzy, to see Kim for a reading there. Mind blowing stuff.
3 postcards are going in the mail today!
I am very excited to participate in this project for “Friends for Life”. One of the best dogs I ever had was a rescue named YOGI BEAR. His image will be on some of the postcards I will make. If you need help manning the booth I would love to help.
I will send some ,I do dalmation rescues…so good to see so many helping
I worked on stamping, painting, embellshing my fabric and construction over the weekend, and will mail out my postcards this week. Has really jump started an idea for a local fundraiser for the city animal shelter. Thanks Pokey!
I’m making some today and love that you are doing this.

Hi! I have a stack that will be coming with me to Houston. See you all on the 23rd!
I will send one off today! What a great cause, I hope you are able to raise the funds you need for the shelter. Thanks for letting us help too!
I’ll make at least 2. Sounds like fun and a great cause!
I’ll make at least 5!
I will be making 1 to send in. Great cause!!!
I just took a break from my sewing machine where I am making a postcard to send!
I am putting three in the mail tomorrow.
. I blogged about it to help spread the word.
Oh what a thrill to read your post and see my cold little owl here on your blog…. isn’t he adorable? Saw a saw-whet owl with a straw hat in an issue of my Nature Conservancy magazine, and knew I had to give the idea my own twist…and loved the little dude so much I ended up making a 13×13 quiltlet for my local quilt chapter challenge! Look forward to seeing you and the cards in just a few weeks, cheers, Sarah
I’m looking forward to the Festival in a few weeks. I sent you my batch already!
Ready to sew come this weekend…
Sounds like a great way to help. We have numerous dogs and cats we have rescued. I’m working on my first quilt.
I just posted 4 this morning. Hope sales are good in Houston.
Just found out about this pet project. Would love to help … but it’s a bit late. Wondering if you would like a dog quilt to raffle off next year to raise more money. Would be willing to do this. Please contact ne directly.
