Abstract
Greeting cards are produced in the form of fabric patches which are sent to recipients on special occasions. The recipients sew the patches bearing the greeting messages thereon into openings in a fabric matrix to form a memory quilt. The greeting messages are thereby not merely discarded, as is the case with conventional greeting cards formed of card stock, but are saved and incorporated into a useful article.
