Mini Fabric collage swap....

Over at

Linda arranged another amazing swap...
...this time to make a mini 5" x 7" Fabric Collage.
Linda partnered us up, and my swap partner is Stefanie from Luna and Luzie
Stefanie and I seem to have similar likes... vintage photos, buttons, lace and fabrics etc..
So this is what I made for her....

I decided to make my fabric collage shabby style.
I printed the image onto some printable cotton...
Different shabby fabric scraps..
Doily, flower and friend embellishment.
some fabric yoyo's...
sweet little crochet heart...

and some lace, pom pom trim and lots of lovely buttons...
Anyway, I hope Stefanie will like it?
Will look forward to seeing what Stefanie has created for me.
Thanks again to Linda for organizing another fun swap!
I really enjoyed creating this one!! :)

Thanks for Looking!

Jan...Thanks for looking at my collage. I would love to use the vintage photos in them, but I do not know about how I get the special fabric. If you would tell me, I’d really appreciate it. Also, I noticed you also used parts of crocheted doilies and little placentas. I cut mine apart and then put the stuff on the edges that keeps them from fraying. Yours is precious. This has really been a fun project and now seeing all the others is so nice.
