Information on making fabric postcards, using Fusi-boo quilt batting and making picture frames will be the featured topics on “Creative Living” at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and noon Thursday.

Franki Kohler has written a book about fabric postcards, and she will tell how they are keepsakes you can make and mail. She’s going to show a method of finishing the edges of the postcard to enhance the design used on the front side. Believe it or not these fabric postcards can go through the postal service and even be machine cancelled. Kohler lives in Oakland, Calif.

Judy Novella is with Fairfield Processing Corp. in Danbury, Conn., and she will demonstrate how to use Fusi-boo quilt batting. It’s a new fusible quilt batting that is suitable for hand or machine quilting, and it totally eliminates the need to baste because it’s fusible on both sides.
