Quilt Labels...


When I saw this piece of fabric I fell in love!
I didn't know they were quilt labels...
They are the most beautiful vintage frames...
Just waiting for empty spaces to be filled!


The fabric frames so beautifully...


I'm thankful for the piece I found...
I have been searching for more~


The local quilt shops had a few labels...
They are Christmas theme!
They had never seen this fabric pattern.


This music frame was perfect for a songbird friend...


I'm still working on a few special orders...

We're enjoying the last few weeks of summer~
School will begin in two weeks...
That is when I will begin working on my watercolor calendars!
Deadlines this fall for the year 2014!
I will share pictures of my 2012 calendars in my next post.
The samples arrived last week and warmed my heart.

Hope your August days are sunny and peaceful~
Wishing you every joy!

Just a thought - Dover Publications have so many copyright free images available and I wonder if you could find a quilt label one and print it onto your own fabric? I think they might have a book on ornamental frames too.

You are amazing, such a clever idea and they look gorgeous. Always something wonderful to see when I visit.
Also thank you for the lovely post with the two feathers.
And just visited Avery and left a little comment.
A break, busy trying to finish my quilt.

Artists always use what they see in unique ways, right? You prove that true. I love all of your drawings...but the bird on the limb "speaks" to me!! BJR

Oh, Michelle, these are gorgeous! You're right, the spaces were perfect for YOUR birds!

Hope you aren't getting too much wind and rain up there!
