When I said I wouldn't be continuing with Tag Tuesday anymore, I don't think I expressed how busy I have been the past few months. The day job has kept me hopping
-- which is a very good thing, I know.
I also took a trip to visit some of my cruising friends (Tim Holtz cruise, 2009). Sarah, Lori and I met up at Pam's house. I had a ball travelling to Pam's with Lori. And Pam was a wonderful hostess to us all.
We did the things we all enjoy -- junking, eating, crafting! A fun trip!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And I made something! I've been wanting to try fabric collage but I don't have a sewing machine. So I went with some hand stitching which looks a little crude, but all in all I like it. I used fabric from some upholstery sample books I had. I then dyed that and all my lace in coffee. The image was printed out on a cotton sheet suitable for my inkjet printer.

This is darling, love anything you make Louise!
Well you have been having fun that is for sure. Lovely fabric creation too!
Fabulous collage, Louise. Is it really your first one? Who needs a sewing machine? lol
I like the hand-stitching... adds to the authentic vintage-ness of it. Simply Gorgeous!
Wow, this is gorgeous, Louise! I love the hand stitching, it looks much more beautiful on your collage than any machine stitching would, for sure. Beautiful details all around. It looks like you gals had a blast!

Are you sure this is your first fabric collage? You did a fantastic job! The hand stitching adds to that soft, hand-made, shabby chic look. Very sweet piece.
WOW, Louise this is very beautiful. I hope to try this some time.
Beautiful piece, Louise! I personally think the hand-stitching adds to the charm of it.
It sounds (and looks)like you all had a blast! Did I see Lori say you were in Alabama? If so, you need to invite me next time - I'm just one state over! :-)
