This was my first Mailart exchange and I truly enjoyed it. my recipient loves Blackbird Designs so I took Quaker Garden motifs and bands from the chart. They wouldn't let me take a picture of it after I stamped it in the Post Office. This is the front.

The back opened-the fabric is Blackbird Design fabric with little birds.

The back-I found a lovely button at JoAnns of a red cardinal which I attached on the way to the Post Office.
