Fiberarts magazine is published in Loveland, Colorado, and we want to share the LOVE. Let us help you turn your fiber postcards into fiber valentines. Since 1947, the Loveland post office has been re-mailing valentines from around the world, adding its own special poem and cancellation mark. Fabric postcards, which are highly popular among quilters and fiber artists, are perfect for this special touch. Read more about fiber postcards in the article Fiber in the Mailbox, by Maureen Egan, which appeared in our April/May 2006 issue.

Send your fabric postcards (addressed and postage stamped) to us in an envelope by January 15. Please note that fiber postcards will require additional postage. Check with your local post office to confirm how much postage is needed for your card. We will have them sent out with the special poem and cancellation. We’ll photograph some of them for a future article in the magazine or on our website.
