trash art.

Here's what I've been puttering around with
the last couple of months.
And I mean puttering.
I had a germ of an idea.....
But no idea how to execute it!!
I did have ideas....
Do you ever have ideas?
Ideas can be frustrating.
Sometimes they keep you awake at night.

Ideas can also be exhilarating!!

Ideas can work...
and sometimes they
don't work.

If I ever make a little art quilt with clothing tags again...
I know some things I won't do!!

AND I know some things I want to Try!!
But......
right now I'm out of clothing tags...
so I guess I won't be doing this project for a while!!!

This little 20"x30" piece is
headed to the local art show this weekend.

Just need to sew down that binding on the back...
I'm finishing this one JUST in the nick of time!!!

  5. Oh my goodness! Is this awesome!! I have always lamented throwing away those woven ribbons that come on men's shirts. Now, I know that you really could do something with them. This is a wonderful idea. One of my guild's challenge project for this year is to make a quilt that is from something recycled. Maybe I need to start collecting labels!!

    I know what you mean about ideas keeping you up at night.-)

  8. Your creativity just blows me away. I'm predicting some day you are going to be famous in quilt circles and I will be able to say, "I was a blogging friend of hers way back when!"
