Quidditch to Eva

Ah, Q, one of the more difficult letters for A to Z.

 Eva had lamented the lack of a Q on her postcards, so I decided to send her one in the mail inside this envelope. She tried to convince me to take part in the A to Z challenge, and at first I declined. Now we're at letter Q - you can see what an influence she is on me - and I'm using the card I sent to her for myself!

You can see what Eva did with the card on her post today (plus two bonus Qs).

Have you received anything in the mail that would work for the letter Q?

    Drawing a zero here! Ah! That'll do for Zee:)
    Q is for questions to a Blogger

    Q is a difficult letter. It could be q for quilling as this piece of mail art I got : http://mymailartworld.blogspot.fr/2016/07/received-from-jocelyne-depierre.html

      One of the USPS Love stamps is titled Quilled Paper Heart - but it isn't one I receive on mail art very often.

    That's not a question for me, I guess... ;)

      Ha, no, indeed you have received 3 Qs. I added a link to your finished postcard.

    Hi Phillip - clever - well done ... Q's can be tricky - but creative thought always helps ... and especially advance creative thought for Eva and her Quidditch - cheers Hilary

      I'm glad it arrived in time, mail doesn't always travel on a regular schedule to Morocco.

      I'm glad I hung on to some - they were perfect for this envelope.

    The Harry Potter film with the game of quidditch was shot at Alnwick Castle which is near us and a castle I included in an earlier A to Z Challenge a few years ago. Stamps, they are made for changing.

      I didn't know that Alnwick Castle was in the film; I've actually been there!

    I was thinking of qwerty, which Eva had sent me. Well, I received not really the qwerty itself, but part from it: loose keys (showing new words) from a keyboard :-)

    And I received the queen on stamps (Dutch ones and the UK one).

    And last but not least, regarding mail art: artistamps from Ptrzia, from the Quindi islands :-)

    My mail is decidedly boring. The only Q mail I get is an occasional questionnaire.

    I have not received anything in the mail that would fit for Q unless you count questions, as in census questions, or survey questions.

    Most efficient, smart move! I have received questionnaires and offers from QuikTrip in the mail. In fact, I've redeemed those offers from QuikTrip, so I was pretty efficient too.

      Yes, two for the price of one. Kinda like your discount QuikTrip.
