I have created some more labels this week. They are great to do, small and not so perfectly formed (!) but very satisfying if they come right. And if they don’t, they are small enough to discard without any angst! My collection continues to grow and I am even contemplating making a customised box or two to store them in!

            Luggage labels

 

            Applique (Silk flower on a painted background)

 

          Floral applique

 

            Dimensional applique (Free motion butterfly on a painted silk background)

 

       Finished label

 

            Colour blocks (layers of sheers sewn with a continuous stitch)

 

            Stained glass (Traced from a Dover publication and coloured in with stitch)

 

            Sheers and stitch (Sheers were cut out with a soldering iron and placed on a textured background)

 

            Soldered buttons (Buttons cut with a soldering iron and sewn onto calico with painted Bondaweb circles)

 

             Cross stitch (An insert in a birthday card from my dear friend Gretta)

 

                                    My Act of Remembrance 1918-2018 (This has been made to coincide with the end of the First World War a hundred years ago). We will remember them, with gratitude.
