More Quilted Postcards: The 100 Day Project 2021 continues…

Postcards 11 – 30

Of the three years I’ve participated in the 100 Day Project, this has been the best by far. I am having such a good time with these postcards. Just the simple act of making the postcards is fun – like making a tiny quilt every day. Picking out the fabric and the colors, deciding which little block to make, actually writing the note – then the icing on the cake is getting a return text or note from the recipients, whom in many cases, I haven’t talked to in a long time. It makes me want to revive the custom of writing letters. Somehow this has been different from sending Christmas cards – which can sometimes seem like a chore, where this does not. Maybe taking it one at a time helps. (hmmm… a lesson there for next year’s Christmas cards? Don’t put it off until the last minute? Don’t do all of them in one go? Novel idea…)

I can see the season changing in these photos – I often put some postcards in my pocket while a walk with our dog Frankie, and take pictures as we go. I look for anything with texture or color that maybe the card would look nice against – which forces me to notice little patches of flowers or running water or farm machinery, that normally I might’ve just walked right on by. (got to get those steps in!) So after 30 days of taking photos outside, I can now see signs of spring – and spring is a glorious thing in the South! Except for the tornadoes, but I digress. Spring sure can lift the spirit!
