I made this quilt collage using one of the Cabinetcards I found at the flea market. I pieced together
some pretty fabrics including some Rachel Ashwell,
to use as the base. I added the card, vintage jewelry
finding, vintage velvet ribbon, and copies of vintage
ephemera. It measures a large 13 x 17 ins. and hangs
by a french laundry hanger. It is in my etsy store.
I enjoyed combining the fabric and the paper items.
