Welcome to Day 3 of the Peek A Who? Blog Hop!
I want to thank Marian at Seams To Be Sew for hosting annual Halloween blog hops.
It is always so much fun to see the craftiness shared by other bloggers.
I love Halloween fabrics, especially the ones that glow in the dark!
This year, I used a few scraps of Halloween and fall fabrics to create fabric postcards.
I also love embroidery and crazy quilting. Each postcard was hand embellished. A few of the threads even glow in the dark. You may click on any photo for a larger image.
The eye and spiderweb fabrics glow in the dark. The pumpkin was part of an earring. And the orange spider was created with glow in the dark Kreinik thread.
Here it is in the dark.
"Boo" was added this Timeless Treasures Glow Ghosts fabric.
It still shows up when the lights are out.
Creating embroidered spiders is always fun!
Especially on Timeless Treasures Glow Webs fabric.
These are even creepy when the lights are out.
This Peanuts fabric in my stash was screaming to be included. I embroidered a bit of a Charlie Brown tree in the upper-left corner and added a few leaves with beads.
Fabric postcards are fun, quick and a bit addictive to create!
I recently shared a 6-part tutorial to create treasure chest postcards. You may find that and a link to a PDF file for the postcard back on my Tutorials and Free Patterns page found HERE.
If you make a fabric postcard, I would love to see it!
Do you have a favorite Halloween memory?
My favorite Halloween memories include trips to the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins with my boys and their grandparents, and the Halloween parties we hosted when the boys were small. Making Mummy Dogs, Spider Cake (filled with green Jell-o), and Graveyard Pudding was always a treat!

PS So happy to find you have a Pop Up Window for comments ..... I’ve been having such problems recently trying to comment on most blogs! Tee hee, hope this comment works now! 😊
My coworkers are into Halloween and I was looking for something small. To make for them. This will be perfect!
Those postcards are so much fun! I love all the embroidered touches, and the glow in the dark fabrics are great.
Oh my goodness, those postcards are just adorable! You have included so many wonderful details in them. The best part of Halloween for our family was all the crazy costumes my son dreamed up and I made each year.
Those are cute! I did a fabulous job.
Oh your post cards are too cute. Your stitching is always fabulous.
Your postcards are great! Particularly with the glow in the dark thread. I never thought of using it but my grandchildren would love it!
Love your postcards. that Peanuts fabric is sew cute.
How cool! How creative and fun to make. I have always loved Halloween. I always dress up and act goofy. I love watching scary movies so it's a perfect time for me.
What a great idea! My granddaughters would love to get these!
Cute cards.
Those are so cute. I love the idea of the glow in the dark!
Very cool fabric Thanks for the great giveaways!

oh your postcards are spootacular. LOL I love them. you were so creative in making them. thank you for sharing and inspiring.
The glowing fabric make these postcard very special. I must admit I have never seen such fabric before. Thank you for sharing. Yes, cq looks good at Halloween.
I think one of my favorite halloween memories was a party when I was very young. I remember my mom being dressed up in her wedding gown as the bride of frankenstein. She always loved halloween and passed away 15 yrs on halloween.
Halloween just screams for glow in the dark. Your post cards are a perfect example of that concept. Thanks also for your links.
I have some of the same Charlie Brown Fabrics, adorable! I like the post card idea! Thanks for sharing
Very creative fabric postcards. As a kid I recall going to someone's house and they gave me a decorated Halloween cake. I think they used it for a party and didn't want to eat it for some reason.
So cute! What a great way to use Glow in the Dark thread!
Your so right about those fabulous glow in the dark fabrics. These post cards were a blast to the past for me. I used to belong to a couple of online fabric postcard swap groups. It was always so fun to see what would arrive in my mail box. I had lost the file for the back with the address, so thanks for sharing that with us! Happy Halloween!!!
Wonderful quilted postcards! Thank you for all the how-to links. I love your use of glow in the dark on your Halloween cards. My favorite memories of Halloween are very similar to yours and now that my own children have grown I enjoy seeing all the little princesses and super heroes and ghosts and robots trick or treat in my neighborhood. My favorite things about Halloween now are the quilts. Thank you for sharing yours in the blog hop ... :-) Pat
Very spooky and cute postcards! I love how they glow in the dark which would thrill the receiver of them for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Nice quilt. Don't you just love glow in the dark thread?? It is so fun. Thanks for sharing.
Those are wonderful postcards. I sure would love to see one in my mailbox. :)
Your postcards are delightful! I don’t know if I would be able to actually mail one. My favorite Halloween memories are of walking around our neighborhood when the kids were little. My husband would dress up to go with them.
i love seeing all the little kids in their costumes and so excited about trick or treat.
I love the Peanuts postcard. Thank-you for the ideas.
Thank you very much for sharing your postcards with us. They are lovely.
I love fabric postcards but yours are truly 'over-the-top'. You used the glow fabrics and thread perfectly. Wonderful. My cousin had polio as a small child and we used to pull him in the wagon around town for trick or treating. At first, he would use his crutches or we'd help carry him to the front door but as the night wore on, we all just tuckered out and he called out "Trick or Treat" from his perch in the wagon.
Love the postcards! What a great idea! I'll have to put it on my list for next year. Thank you for sharing!
Wow, that is awesome. I like to do crazy quilting too. Love the Peanuts!
Great postcards!
The witches' brooms! Oh my gosh, what a great idea, Renee! Your postcards are fabulous, and spooky in the light or dark. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your postcards are darling. Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I have never made a postcard.
I love the post cards, especially your Charlie Brown one.
I love the Glow in the Dark fabric. I must look out for that. Thank you for sharing your postcards
I love your postcards! I had never heard of glow in the dark fabric! Now I need to find some to go with my glow in the dark thread!!
I especially love your spiderwebs!! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and was fun to figure out costumes when our kids were small.

Such sweet little touches you've added to your postcards - love the glow in the dark fabrics!
I haven't gotten on the postcard bandwagon, but I do like the idea of using glow in the dark thread. I remember taking my little brothers out treating when I got too old to go myself. Lots of fun!
Your postcards are so cute! I have wanted to try making some for a few years now so I'm saving your tutorial and the others you use and am going to try to make one soon. Thanks for sharing.
Renee, Thanks for sharing the glow in the dark fabric Especially Boo. Also Peanuts who I have always got a kick out of

Wonderful postcards, with some great fabrics. Thanks for sharing the info / links.
My favorite Halloween memory is making Ghost pie when the kids were home. I've made it several times even when they were not. I've never made fabric postcards yet. Sew many ideas, sew little time.
Fabric postcards are always so tempting, but have never made one. As for Halloween, my favorite memory, my mom and my best friends mom, made matching outfits for us to wear. BUT we didn't know it - we were told not to tell anyone what we were going to be, so I didn't tell her and she didn't tell me. When we each came out of our houses (we lived next door to each other) we were the same except I was blue and she was pink.
Fun postcards, lucky recipients! Our guild makes postcards for sale to earn $ for the guild, so I have made a few. I made some last year for my family for Thanksgiving, and I was tickled to see the one I had sent to my niece on her cork board when I visited in Feb this year. Thanks for sharing!
I love anything glow in the dark. I especially love your glow in the dark spiderweb.
Such a fun idea! I would certainly be able to crank out a few for the young ones!
Your cards are so cute. My favorite Halloween memory is when my aunt dressed up as a witch, complete with green face and warty nose.
Love glow in the dark fabric and thread.. Just too much fun.. magshandlin@verizon.net
Never tried post cards. Yours may change my mind.
Renee, these are great postcards! I love making them also. Thanks so much for sharing!
Guess my favorite memory is making costumes for the kids. I made a dragon, a bee and many others.
Great patterns
Love your postcards! Especially the Glow in the Dark ideas.. soooo fun!! Guess fave Memories of Halloween were when the Kiddo's were little...the costumes & all :)
Cute postcards.! I love embroidery and crazy quilting too!

I love the idea of Halloween postcards. I think I am going to try to make some. Thanks for the idea.
What a wonderful idea, I think I will whip up a few of these and hand them out to my friends at our guild meeting next week. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love your postcards. Great idea for the glow in the dark.
What a fun idea! I wish I had seen this a few weeks ago, and could have sent them to my great nephew and nieces. Next year, I hope. Thanks.
Your quilted postcards are great! Love all the embellishments you did. Thank you for the tutorial, too.
Halloween postcards! What an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing it.
Super quilt. Thanks for sharing
I love the Halloween stuff!
Such cute postcards! I think I need to buy some glow-in-the-dark fabric! My favorite Halloween memory is taking my boys trick-or-treating when they were small and seeing how much fun they were having!
Your postcards are wonderful! Do they really go through the mail OK? Love the glow in the dark fabric and thread! Thanks!
Thank you all so much for your sweet comments! I have tried to reply to everyone. If you have not received an email from me, it is because your settings are for a no-reply blogger and I do not have your email address. I wish you all a Spook-tacular Halloween!
Very cute.
The post cards are so cute.
Thanks,

These postcards are great! I made a fabric postcard for the first time this year and enjoyed the process. I like the idea of making them for holidays!
Your post cards are wonderful. Love the glow in the dark fabric, so much fun!
Cute, I used to make these years ago, you have made me think about breaking out my peltex and Halloween scraps and making a few more to send out to friends this season.
What a great idea; fabric postcards! I'll have to make some for next Halloween!

Really fun postcard creations Renee! I like the one with glow-in-the-dark eyes & spider web - and the fun smiling pumpkins. (Sorry I've been MIA on the comment front - I've managed to get behind and keep trying to catch up - finally have resorted to just jumping in)
Renee I always love your fabric postcards and especially these in Halloween theme. I am missing being creative. Moving from one state to another is not very easy...especially on this old lady. Happy Halloween Treats Dear...<3
