Tangled Thread “Tags & Tie-Dyes” contest
I thought that it’s been too long since I’ve hosted a contest on Tangled Thread… I’m giving away on of my DH’s copper fiber art tags, this one says “Love” in block letters. I had so many responses about my hand-dyed quilting cottons that I’ve decided to also include five 4 inch squares of the colors you see here!
Okay, now the rules: Due to shipping costs, the contest is open to residents of the continental USA and Canada. To enter, just leave a comment on this post, describing what you’re going to do with the tag and the fabric. The contest will run until Saturday, April 26th, and I will hold a random draw on the 27th to determine a winner. I’ll write a post on the 27th announcing the winner’s name. The winner will have three days to contact me to claim their prize - I’ll draw another name after that.
Good luck!

Wow. This is great. I love hand made things. The fabric will go into a bag I want to make. I think I’ll incorporate the tag into the bad and maybe add some beading to match.

Nicole

I’d make a purse or handbag of some sort. I’d put the tag on the inside - not to hide it, but so that it would be a personal reminder.

Hand dyes, yummy just like candy! What to do……hmmm, touch them, hold them, admire them and then put them in one of my art quilts. Of course the tage would find a home in that quilt as well. Oh I do hope you pick me =D!
Tammy
Apr 21, 2008 at 9:36 am
I would definitely use it in a baby blanket. With the tag incorporated on the side somewhat like a label.
Tanya
Apr 21, 2008 at 10:36 am
To be honest I would look at and touch the fabric a bit before I decide what to do with it. I sew every day and sometimes just holding the fabric against different things and thinking about it leads to the best inspiration.
kristen
Apr 21, 2008 at 11:29 am
I would love to use both the tag and fabrics to make a pillow for my mom for mother’s day. She loves Tie-Dye!

I love to scrapbook, so I think I would put the tag on the front of a scrapbook. I love the colors of the tie dye pieces, so I may out them in a frame with pictures or make something woth them.

I will give these to my daughter, who is just learning how to sew. I can see the tag being turned into a necklace pretty quickly, but we’ll see what she does with the rest!
Dan
Tabitha
Apr 23, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Honestly, I don’t know what I would make out of them yet. I have to see something and hold it for awhile and let my mind think before I can come up with something. The love tag would probably go somewhere where I can see all the time.
P Hafner
Apr 23, 2008 at 6:22 pm
The Love tag would go on my bedroom door. The fabric would either go into a quilt or to decorate a t-shirt for my daughter.
Nicole RJ
Apr 23, 2008 at 6:29 pm
What a cute tag! I thin kI’d probably pass it all along to my mom, and she could make a quilted wall haning with it! :D

I would probably use the fabric (which is awesome!) to embellish baby shirts/onesies. I’m not sure what I’d use the tag for, but I could find something - I might put it on a bag that I make or maybe in a scrapbook or on a necklace, who knows?!?!
Thanks!

Maria
Apr 25, 2008 at 2:28 pm
What!!! You’re supposed to *make* something with them? I would probably pet them and rub my cheek with them, drool over them a bit and marvel at the colors, and then finally hang them on the wall next to my work computer to make me smile, and I’ll dream of sitting at my sewing machine making a wonderful, colorful quilt, and I won’t get any work done.

Well, I would desperately try not to hoard them! ;) I would first drool a little bit, then rub them on my face while making lots of soothing sounds. hehehe! I’m truthfully not sure what I’d do with the squares.. maybe add them to some stuffed critters. The tag is fantastic as well and I see it on the front of a journal.
Kathleen Connors
Apr 25, 2008 at 3:40 pm

A. Carole Grant

I would use the hand dyes to the best possible use in a little piece that would go with the copper plate message, then I would embellish and frame. I would use the copper piece as the ‘plaque’ like paint artists do.

Appliquéd flowers in a Baltimore album that I have been working on on and off for a few years. I am trying to use strictly hand dyeds for the appliqué. This is a quilt that is a long term project. And the tag would be used on an art quilt that I am just starting to create. This would be my first art quilt in several years so I am basically starting over again fresh.

This fabric would make a great addition to the quilt my greatgrandmother made in the 1920’s. I have recently inherited it and am in the process of “refashioning” it for the upcoming generations. And the ‘love’ tag would be perfect for a quilt that has touched the lives of every member of my family!
