I have been wanting to have tags professionally made but never have had the extra cash to do so. this year all gifts we are giving are handmade (most by us) so I needed to come up with a tag that I could make myself. I just threw together some cute images of Wheezy and Abby and printed them out on the iron on transfer paper and then onto unbleached muslin and viola a tag. in this case I sewed it into the jacket I gave my mother in law for her birthday. the picture is terrible I have the shakiest hands.
I am working on a few mini quilts for my grandmother who lives in a nursing home. She was a seamstress and is so excited that another woman in the family sews. A little while back my mother gave me a ton of her childhood photos and they are beautiful. I chose a few I thought Franmaw (we started calling her that like ten years ago as a joke and it just stuck) would enjoy seeing again. heres the photos I will post the quilts as soon as they are done.
in addition to trying to get everyones hand made gifts accomplished I put a couple (literally two things) up on Etsy today! I opened an account a while back with the intention of selling stuff but never made the time to make extra things to sell. so here we are months later and I posted two things. one is the brown quilt that I made after a much need camping trip. the other is a needle book left over from when I made one for Kate. Please check out my Etsy account I called it Wheezy & Sanchez.
Yay! that tag is wicked awesome – that’s Abby and Wheezy before they turn into super heros right? Honky bonky. I’m gald you post so often it gives me something to entertain myself – keep it up.
I can’t wait to see the picture quilts. What size are you planning to do them? Your grandma is going to love them. Can I copy your idea and maybe think of doing something similar for my mama?
By the way the tags are great. I have been thinking about tags myself for my animals and haven’t had the money to get a large number made given the small number of things I produce. What a great way to do a small series.
You’re so smaht.
