My sister made me this quilt for my birthday. It was originally intended to be a table runner, but I decided to put it on the wall instead. I used the triangle pockets method to hang the quilt.

My sister made me this quilt for my birthday. It was originally intended to be a table runner, but I decided to put it on the wall instead. I used the triangle pockets method to hang the quilt.

The theme for this pocket letter was “April Showers.” I was pleased with the way it turned out.

This is the first one I mailed. I very carefully tried to protect it by mailing it flat in a large clasp envelope with padding. The recipient wrote me that everything fell out of the pockets in transit. So embarrassing. Next time I will use a number 10 envelope, and make sure the items aren’t so bumpy.

I sent the Artist Trading Card at the bottom of the page earlier in April. I started with an idea from an ATC that I sent several years ago (top ATC) and also included an ATC (middle with carved sun) even more years ago. Since I didn’t make a duplicate of the bottom ATC, I decided to take a photocopy and document what I did on this page.

Washi tape, gelli prints, die cuts, ribbon and quilling paper.

I recently became aware of something called a pocket letter, which is an ATC page protector stuffed with stuff. I’ve joined two Facebook groups which exchange and display them. This is the first one that I’ve done: a combination of die cuts, artist trading cards, and ephemera.

I made three Artist Trading Cards for this series. To protect the ATC in the mails, I made the frame card on the right. The theme for this mingle was flowers. All swaps at OSA require at least one stamped image. I used this poppy flower image from Hero Arts.
