Glitzy Garment Quiltie


One of my Yahoo groups, Fabric in Altered Art 2, is having a monthly quiltie swap. The theme has been letters of the alphabet. Our hostess, Penny, decided to throw in an additional theme for the "G" quiltie - "Glitzy Garment". This is my little Glitzy Garment quiltie. The dress and accessories once belonged to Barbie. I purchased them at the Goodwill some time ago thinking I could use them in my altered art and now I have! (goal to use "stuff" in my studio in my fabric art) I added the gold bead necklace from my bead stash and the purple background is from a purple jacket I purchased at Dollar Days.
The outfit also included a pair of black boots but I couldn't figure out a way to include them on the quiltie. Maybe someday I'll do something with Barbie shoes!

Angel Quiltie


The Fabric in Altered Arts 2 group has decided to use the alphabet as a theme for the monthly quiltie swap. June is the first month and of course, the letter A. I chose "angels" as the theme for my quiltie. The vintage lace and feather are from my studio. The image is a free image I found on the web. Fabric scrap is from the backing of a quilted wall hanging I finished recently. I'm quite pleased with the quiltie.
