Today’s techniques are:
- stamping on fabric
- thread painting on soluble stabilizer
- simple beading
- adding a fringe of woolen yarns
Gladys Love uses these techniques to create these stunning leaf vine luggage tags in her book Embellishing with Anything.
Click here to download a 6 page, full color PDF file that will guide you through these techniques as they apply to these luggage tags. The PDF also includes a bonus project! You’ll learn to make this beautiful leaf sprig ATC card, which has curved piecing and twin-needle top stitching. Gladys made the original with scraps of background cut from another quilt she was working on at the time.

These are some beautiful projects. It is fun adding things to make it even more lovely. It seems like more types of yarns, threads, beads are available.
Oh this is so inspiring. Sometimes I get lost trying to do things like this and having guidelines that is is very welcome!
I have just read your book “Embellishing with anything” and loved it !! A woman after my own heart. I, too, use found things in my quilts. Where on Vancouver Island do you live?? You mentioned in the book that you and your husband go to Value Village, well, I to,o go there sometimes. I live in Sooke and walk along the beach off of Westcoast Rd. When I looked at your picture you did seem familiar, so perhaps we have cossed paths Take care
