my tag this week...


i had made my tag earlier this week but the camera was flat... :( anyway this weeks Tag Tuesday was white and i knew that would be challenge, being a color person...

i virtually pulled out anything white with lots of texture, embossed vellum, muslin, the white bubbly paper off the top of chocolates, doily bits, beading, organza and torn bits of table gripper...:) the icing on the cake was when i found the frosty butterfly from the kids old jewellery...

its pretty messy , i just kept layering stuff :)

ive just gone on two weeks holidays and have started or should i say restarted charlies quilt...i made it last year for her 18th but didnt like it, i had no plan apart from the bottom and after that it got very boring and structured ! anyway last night i pulled it apart and i have a plan ;) it would be nice to have done for her 19th bday in a couple of weeks... today hasn't been great with a burn, a cut and mismatched squares lol

im liking the fabrics and the photos form her travels...i can reuse most of them but its not working for me at all...
im having lots of trouble uploading pics tonight, only one at a time, it seems to be able to handle..:(

Love your tag, I have the same problem with white! the texture is fab and the butterfly finishes it off nicely.
I love the idea of a photo quilt, how cool is that! what a great idea and so personal, we want to see it finished! mx
