You’ve got mail!
I’m a more sensitive guy than most of you would imagine. I can’t even count how many times I’ve watched a rom-com with my wife. Well, us sensitive guys know that no matter what your significant other might say, Valentine’s Day is not a holiday to be trifled with! In the past I’ve spent hours cruising the local shops, racking my brain, trying to find the perfect gift. But in my experience, something handmade and from the heart always does the trick. Then I realized I’ve already got the perfect idea!
Be prepared this year with a gift that’s super easy, and super rad. Skip the greeting card aisle and sit down at your sewing machine to whip up a few fabric postcards! Even if your loved one is far away, these awesome fabric postcards can be dropped in the mail just like a regular letter.
Watch my Fabric Postcard Tutorial and see how easy it is to make a personalized card that will last for a long time! Start with your favorite fabric, add a few embellishments, and you’ve got a gift that will definitely win you some points this year. For the traditional cards, I used the Dear Heart collection by Studio E.
I use a fun technique here called “fussy cutting.” Basically, it means cutting your fabric in a way that shows off a special part of an illustration or motif. It’s perfect for these postcards!
And check out this awesome “Zombie Love” fabric by Riley Blake Designs. Nothing says “I love you” quite like literally giving your heart to someone special. I think my kids will get a kick out of these!
I hope you give these D.I.Y. Valentines a try and be sure to share yours with me on social media using #mansewing!
Great Video, maybe making bowls next week. thanks
I would buy some templets I need for a new project! I lover your videos and keep them coming THANKS!! 🙂
These are so cute!
I would use the GC for more fabric. These are so cute!
I would buy more fabric!!!
I would treat myself to something from my list of things I’ve liked for ages. Or I would really stock up on background fabric. Or both. Then I’d probably go ahead and throw in some batting and thread and backing, while I’m at it.
Ooooo I just purchased the Queen of Hearts Accuquilt Go die! 🙂 I am starting this as soon as I get done sending you this. 🙂 Thank you for the great tutorial!!! I would love to get my hands on some more fabric! ::: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a8b0cb2e36ac48641b36bb540c41956c8691ee5aa36285c57ccae22f5907c351.jpg (Bummer!! I don’t do Twitter or Instagram and barely do Facebook)

Love these. Fabric is always a great purchase
I just loved your tutorial on the postcard! I cannot wait to find just right fabric to do mine! Thank you so much for the great ideas as always!
I am looking for batik fabric and the charm packs are very attractive. I would get 2 or 3 packs including the Tigerfish Batiks Charm Pack.
Love it!
Supplies to make bowls and post cards!
more fabric of course… great idea for fabric postcard.
I could really use some kona solids to finish up a few quilts.
I’ve been wanting to do a fabric postcard. Valentine Day would be perfect to send one to alllll my guys! (Big Smile)
that is an awesome idea!
I would buy some really neat patterned fabric, maybe some cartoony things!!!
Fabric, of course. Not that I have room or a need for more. ????
I would buy something to make a special quilt for my sister to commemorate our mother’s life supporting us.
I’m a new quilter and need to create a fabric stash, so I would buy fabric.
Fabric, fabric, fabric! Whatever else is there? !
I think I’ll use up some of my fabric stash for my daughters class instead of buying Vday cards.
I think I will give this a try. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
I have lots of stuff in my wishlist that I would choose from to buy!! I’m addicted to that website!! I love it! 😀 lol
I’m starting to learn how people come up with ideas; they look at something and imagine it in fabric!
I love MSQC and I would put the $25 to good use buying some awesome fabric to do a jazzed up quilt for my newest and only grandson!
love the ideas from all and can’t say what I would do with the quilter’s cash as so many things come to mind
I love Missouri Star Quilt Co. I look forward to the daily deal in my inbox every morning. It is one of the first things I look at. Also love Jenny’s Friday tutorials. I have a long wish list and would like the chance to win the Quilter’s Cash.
Backing Fabric! I have 3 quilt tops ready to quilt, but need backing for 2 of them.
I don’t think 25 is enough, i will certainly spend more!! fabric, notions, more fabric
Very kind. Love MSQC. Planning on making some of these postcards.
I would love to buy some of the Zombie Love fabric, love the postcard idea! Would be great for my husband who loves the Walking Dead 🙂
I would myself with something from my wishlist at MSQC. Thank you for the great giveaway.
MATERIAL!!!!! I have TWO grand kids to make a quilt for! I love the fabric bowls! And now post cards! Who Hoooo!
I’d like to make postcards and would buy novelty fabric to fussy cut plus background fabric. Love zombie love. Fun!
Brilliant idea- I have 11 grandchildren and it will be soooo fun to send these out. I mean who doesn’t like mail in the mailbox right! Okay so how do you add the postage?
I’m in the market for some 10″ squares. I’d like to make a childhood friend a QOValor in the twister pattern.
Love the cards…Can make them for any occassion. Would bring a smile to my face if I got one in the post! Think I know some people who would like them too.
I think I might buy some new rulers.
A MSQC ruler I have my heart set on!
Fabric! My oldest daughter has been really interested in sewing for the past 2 years. I love that she is so interested without being pushed. She would love some new fabric to create new stuff!
Berries & Blossoms A Kim’s Cause Collection Charm Pack
I couldn’t find the Timtek, but some ultra firm Pellon will have to do. Wish me luck!
Not sure. There are so many options.
ALL.THE.FABRIC.!
These are soo cute! I could really use some solids!
I’d buy the crafty cats charm pack. So cute!!
Fabric!!! Would make me very happy!!!
Fabric for sure!!!
This is such a ridiculously cute idea. Love it. Can’t wait to try it out.
I’d would also spend it on a tool or two (sunburst or large tumbler) to create more wonderful things. I’m just learning but sewing is such a stress relief for me.
What a fun tutorial! I too see this as not just a special Valentine thing. Novelty fabrics abound…
Thank you for the give-a-way opportunity!
I would love to get some temples or rules I have some quilts from the videos I would like to make :0
I a, quite sure I could find something at MoStar (if I really, really looked)!!
I would put the money toward a jelly roll. I have a project I want to complete that requires one jelly roll.
I would buy some cuddle fabric for a super soft baby blanket.
I would buy some of the things on my MSQ wish list!!
I’m saving up to get the whole set of templates. Sounds like fun!!!
I would probably get some fabric that I’ve been wanting for awhile, but there is so much to choose from!!
Pick me!
Ich liebe Mansewing, Rob lässt keine Langeweile aufkommen. Und ich liebe die Stoffe von Kaffe Fassett, die würde ich gern kaufen. Alle!
I love your youtube channel! If I win $25 QC, I’d use it towards some templates and the layer cake paper piece sheets to use with my stash to make a cool scrappy quilt 🙂 thanks for this giveaway!
I have my eye on a template. MSQC has some really nice ones with great tutorials for using it.
Every morning when I wake up I check Missouri Star Quilt for the daily special and then I look to see if there is a new man sewing videos so I can watch it. What a great way to start the day!
I love looking at the daily deal and watch weekly videos. I’d get fabric that’s new and springy for a favorite video.
I would purchase myself some templates. I see all the beautiful quilts everyone is working on but don’t have the right tools. Rob, I like that you watch those movies with your wife. My husband called them “tear jerkers”. He recently passed away and I really miss him. He would always ask me “is that all you have to do?”. Meaning sewing and quilting. But, everyone he talked to he would brag about my work and how proud of me he was. He didn’t tell me that, but I heard him and most of the buddies he was talking to would tell me. And every time I went to a craft show or fabric store, he was with me.
I would look over some of Rob’s projects and get supplies to start making one.
I’d get some charm packs and make Birthday totes for all y girls!
Fabric, lots I want but don’t necessarily need.
I would buy some of my items in my wish list to complete tutorials!
Its a shame that to be part of this give a way you need to be on Instagram and be able to Tweet. I visit you often on Facebook and use your tutorials to make beautiful items. I sure could use this to buy more fabric to make more of your great ideas. I so love your work and way of doing things so entertaining and informative. Thanks for letting me have a quick say here!!!
I would love to get some jelly rolls.
I would love to stock up on some neutrals and blender fabrics.
stock my fabric stash-need some neutras colors!
I just got my husband interested in quilting, so I would let HIM choose what to buy…with gentle hints from me!
Jelly Rolls — my 10 year-old grand just made her 1st jelly roll race quilt and has become a new quilter.
I would put the gift card towards material I have wanting for the past 6 months. Just waiting for it to go on sale.
Love the zombie fabric! My daughter will too!
MSQC has some great stuff that needs to live at my house!!
Anything batiks has my name written on it.
That zombie ties in with the today’s mindset and is perfect! I love it. MSQ has a fabulous collection of everything and that $25 would be gone in a heartbeat.
This is such a great idea! Thank you! We just moved across the country, so this would be a great way to share my new address with my quilter friends! If I won the money from the draw, I would use it to buy some charm packs to make a queen sized Dresden for my bed. I love the style and the first quilt I ever made is a bit too small for my bed, but that’s what’s on there right now!
i would buy some basting pins and a jelly roll and make a quilt and try out your basting tute.
Thank you for postcard demo. Sending cards to grandkids soon. If I win, I would use the fabric for charity projects. My heart is for those in assisted living.
I would buy some of the items on my wishlist!
Or I would snag a daily special!
I would stock up on some thread. Thanks!
I like the BLOCK books. I would buy a few back issues.
I’d hope into my wishlist and pick up a few things! ???? MSQC!
I’d love to say I’d get something specific for a special project, but let’s be honest, I’d just get the next daily deal I fancied, plus five extra charm packs.
I would buy a Jelly Roll that I love and make the butterfly quilt. I just love it. I would also throw in some of the thread cause I really like the thread.
Always enjoy your tutes Rob even if they scare me bit my choice at MSQC would be a new ruler or maybe some threads or ok, you get the idea. Thanks for your contributions!
I would definitely buy some beautiful pink fabric and pink thread–my favorite color of all!!
I would buy some jelly rolls for your variation of the 3 dudes quilt.
I would buy some more minky to put on the back on kids quilts because it feels so good!
I have loads of honey buns and 2 1/2 strips…now I have inspiration, Thanks!
I’d definitely love to buy some of the zombie fabric. Love it.
I would buy more charm packs for my six year old granddaughter who just loves to sew them together on the new “small straight stitch only” sewing machine I got her for xmas
i would pick out the most adorable baby fabric i could find. i just found out i am going to be a grandma and baby will need a quilt soon. and some of that zombie fabric—it is just so cute! i love your tutorials, please keep them coming
Fabric postcards are always fun… 🙂
These look so fun! I think I’m gonna make them for my hubby, kids and grandkids. Hope they come out as cute as yours did! If I were to win I’d just run right up to the store (I’m only about 25 miles away) and pick out some fabric to finish my hubby’s Christmas quilt. Yep, I’m a bit behind! 🙂
I would pick up some yardage to go with the layer cakes I have purchased.
I would probably put the $25 towards backing fabric for the king-size quilt I’m making for my bed!
Love the ideas – great way to send something special for grand kids and great grands – nice for kids well- even though grown — thanks for all new ideas for that special time really for any time
For Christmas I received a quilting frame and machine. So, for starters, I would purchase thread for my new machine as well as backing fabric for the quilts I’m now going to quilt!
Oooooo I think I would buy some yardage to go with my jelly rolls or charm packs.
I would buy fabric for the workshop e are having with you in April. I am so excited you are coming to the desert!
I would love to get some solids, but I really want to complete my collection of MSQ templates, or maybe a fat quarter bundle or two………
Fabric of course
Fabric or thread. Always need that!
I want to make a Star Wars quilt for my sister’s birthday, I would use the quilter’s cash to get some fabric for it!
I would treat myself to some of the fabric that I have been looking at for months.
Those cards are so cute & easy. I would buy some supplies to make them!
Who knows what I would buy? Templates that I don’t already have? Fabric? Rulers? Wait on the daily deal where you can buy two? Decisions, decisions! LOL
I would use it to buy some beautiful fabric for my quilt retreat at MSQC coming up next month!! I can’t wait!!
I would purchase more fabric and thread. Absolutely love Missouri Star Quilt Co.!
I would love to get fabric for my sisters quilt as this year I plan on doing one for her and her husband. They have been caring for our Mom.
I love the idea, now to find the perfect fabric. Thanks for the blog.
SO perfect that I already made mine!!

The stash, the stash, the stash. I’m always finding great projects to do using the stash when it’s yucky outdoors.
Rulers! One can never have enough rulers!
Where to begin! I’ve only been quilting for 2 1/2 years so still working on building up my stash but rulers or patterns would be nice, too
I would look for fabric for an American Cancer Society project (Relay for Life Walk). My team is making items to sell for fundraising. Cancer awareness fabric would be great (if available). Otherwise pink designs would work.
Decisions, decisions;) Probably would add fabric to my stash or get the backing for a quilt I am in the process of making.
I would probably buy some quilting strips. Can never have enough quilting strips!
I love fabric!
I love everything at Missouri Star Quilt Company, I would buy fabric. I just love fabric and you can never have too much.
Fabric, fabric and more fabric. I am in love with MSQC’s fabric.
I would use the quilters cash to help me purchase a quilt kit. I’m 74 and new to quilting so I don’t have a “stash” . . . . YET. I just completed the scrappy table runner using the Williamsburg Annabelle Fat Quarters and it turned out beautiful. Maybe one day, I’ll have enough scraps to really do a scrappy table runner. I love, love, love your tutorials and I think I’ve probably watched most of them. I have such a list of quilts I want to make based on your easy to follow tutorials.
While in nursing school, I can’t afford to buy much fabric, but quilting is such a great stress reliever! I would spend the prize money on a few of Jenny’s Daily Deals.
There are a lot of new fabric lines coming out that I would love to have! These cards are soooo cute! 🙂
I would buy buy buy. Maybe something to add to the string 1/2 square triangle quilt at the top of my Too-Doo list
Cool idea! I love these postcards!
