Penny's Postcard Posse - 2nd Annual Roundup for the 4th of JulyWith the 4th of July just around the corner, Penny's Postcard Posse's mailbox is teeming with activity.
More than 1000 fabric postcards were made by quilters around the country and will be off to Iraq within days.
For this Penny's Postcard Posse Roundup, several school children contributed postcards in addition to quilting groups and individual quilters and their friends and families.
This is just one of the fabulous postcards, and serves as an example of the thought, effort and love that quilters are putting in to making these tiny quilts for the soldiers abroad.
By Friday, June 22, a big box of fabric postcards will be winging its way to Iraq to be distributed to individual soldiers who are far away from home, and missing their loved ones.
This is the sixth Postcard Posse Roundup during the last year. In addition to the 4th of July 2006, fabric postcards were Rounded up for Thanksgiving and Christmas 2006, and Valentine's Day and Spring 2007.
More than 1781 postcards were Rounded up by the earlier Posses. The 2nd Annual Penny's Postcard Posse could round up as many as 1200 fabric postcards to send to soldiers for their celebration of the 4th of July.
We are hoping that soldiers will sign on to the blog and post their comments about the cards when they receive them.
In the meantime, check out the pictures as they go up on the website and post your comments on the blog:

With more than 1200, it could take a few days to get them all posted, so visit that page often.

Discover how you can get involved in The Posse and show your support for the individual soldiers who are thousands of miles away from home defending our freedom.
Happy Quilting!
