Which do you prefer?
I’m doing a little market research here. Let’s say there was an incredibly beautiful quilt, or part thereof, that was just begging to become a small piece of mail.
If you were going to purchase such a card, possibly in a set of 12, and in an attractive package, would you want them BLANK to write your own personal message, or would you like them to already come with a message? And what would that message be?!
To review:
Option #1: BLANK
Option #2: WITH GREETING
a) Happy Birthday
b) Thinking of you
c) Get well
d) Condolence
e) Quilt related (give example)
Now’s your chance to change the world, or at least make your opinion known about greeting/note cards with pictures of quilts on them. Write a comment!
Thanks!

I prefer the blank ones. Whenever I have bought cards with preprinted messages, I can rarely find them when I one of those occasions arises. I can prove this, as I have just moved, and have a large assortment of these cards dating back to cards I bought from a high school fundraiser. When I was in high school. Before the internet. Before cell phones. Before microwave popcorn.
In the interest of fairness, I have purchased blank cards as well, and while I do have a lot of them in my collection, FAR MORE of them have been used, in fact, one just this week.
The other reason for not buying preprinted cards is the impersonal aspect of them. For a birthday, I like to find the perfect card for that person. For anniversaries, some couples get a funny card and others a sentimental one. And planning ahead for a condolence card need? Morbid.
A “thinking of you” card is nice, but wouldn’t a blank card serve the same way? Jotting down a note is quite the same as thinking of someone.
Long for a comment, I know, (debate team experience never leaves me) but blank cards are the way to go.

Oh, dear! All of the above Ami! I like the idea of blank cards that you can write your own sentiment, if the cards in the package are all the same on the front.
If the cards are all different on the front, I could see having sayings inside – ie, red and green quilt on front would make a good Christmas Card, pinks and yellow – “Happy Spring!”, etc. But I also love the idea of having different quilt sayings inside – some I really like are…
“Good friends are like quilts, they never lose their warmth”
“In the crazy quilt of life, I’m glad you’re in my block of friends”
“A family stitched together with love, seldom unravels”
“When life throws you scraps, make a quilt”
There are so many more sayings that would be great for a card! Good luck with your idea!

I would also use the blank cards more. As an Air Force wife, I have many occasions that sort of defy printed verses… situations of protocol, writing to the surviving family member of a serviceperson who has been killed in the line of duty, a get well card for someone who’s lost both legs in a bombing. Printed cards don’t cover that, but a blank card that allows me space to write something appropriate in those situations would be a blessing. Maybe these cards could have a couple of red, white, and blue or flag-quilt options, which would make them ideal for military families!

I agree–I also prefer blank. And, as, I think, Judy Leathers said, regular greeting card-size, not the little ones. When I write on those little ones, I run out of room! (Either I write large or am just wordy–most likely both! lol)
When I do buy cards for specific occasions, I look for ones that are appropriate for the recipient, and only VERY rarely use ones that just say “happy birthday” (or whatever) in them. Therefore, I buy them individually. I’ve tried buying assortments, but have found them mostly unsatisfactory, and wind up using only a few of them.

We did fifteen different designs – the front, the back, the seal of the city, and one of each of the twelve block designs. With the cards blank, people are able to use them for any occasion, and seem to like the flexibility of that.
I would recommend having a number of designs. People stop to look at each and decide what they like best. We made up variety packs and single design packs too, mostly packs of fifteen. We do sell packs of five and some singles. The variety pack of 15 different designs is the most popular.

I make blank ones, recently I have made quilt patterns with scrapbooking paper and glue sticks work best. Photos of quilts work good too.

I vote for blank. In fact, I have what is probably the largest collection of blank notecards in captivity!

I prefer the ones already printed. Then I can add a line. That blank page gives me writer’s block.

I prefer blank cards – that way, I can use them for many occasions. There are lots of quilting events that can use a card and I can make them up as I please. For instance:
1- Congratulations! You finished your quilt!
2- Congratulations! You started another quilt!
3- See you at the Quilt Show on ____________
4- You’re invited to a Quilt Weekend on ________
See what I mean?

Personally I like blank cards because pre-printed cards do not say whatever I’m wanting to say that time. But quilt related cards would be great with “Peaceful Piecing”. That would allow me to add just a thought to quilt buddies. That is usually my sign-off in cards and notes.

I prefer cards blank so I can write my own sentiments. However, I also have a hard time using beautiful note cards because I hate to send them and not have them to look at…so I usually buy 2 packages of each…one to send and one to keep.

Blank. That way I can write my own message because often preprinted cards do not say what I want to say.
