Constance Spotts, Port Orchard, Washington

For Valentine’s Day, Fiberarts invited readers to send
us fabric postcard valentines to re-mail from our hometown
post office in Loveland, Colorado. Loveland offers its own
special postmark for the holiday each year, along with a
poem, that is lovingly handstamped by local volunteers.
Our fourth year of playing cupid we received more than
200 cards to pass along from around the globe. There were
many familiar senders, and we want to thank those that
have taken part year after year—we even have a repeat
winner from last year, congratulations Tracy! The love that
went into each card is very apparent. We share a selection
here, but even more can be found at fiberarts.com.
