I have another spread for Halle from Halle’s Hobbies who is hosting this month at Art Journal Journey. Her theme is I've got a notion. 
I'm calling this latest entry Vintage Modern. I have detail shots and two have been rotated so you can see them better.
I began by sewing each of the squares to the substrate using variegated thread. I am having a difficult time with my tension at the moment, which causes the thread to break a lot.I then adhered the very old stickers to the side of the entry. Tip: If you don't have a needed letter, cut an outline and adhere it as I did the T.
Bleubeard and I are thrilled you joined us and hope to see you this month at Art Journal Journey as you share your own interpretation of I've got a notion.

Very nice participation, creative!
Have a nice Sunday!
...time goes by so quickly that things that I think are modern are considered vintage.
I have seen things go from vintage to modern and back again. which makes me a dinosaur.
Lovely page, hugs!
Those are cool fabrics. Or are they pieces of paper. They look fabulous together, and they work great for this piece. I hope you're having a nice weekend. hugs-Erika
So lovely!
Fun fabric swatch sampler piece. Tension can be tricky sometimes and very frustrating. I really don't have any sage advice for you...really just trial and error.
This is so pretty! :)
Your swatches make a lovely quilt
Love your stitches!
I like those sewn edges.
You do such good work.
I struggled with my sewing machine for years until the local store explained that I had the wrong bobbins for my machine. I did not know. I'd get so grustrated.
Beautiful fabric squares and the stitching looks great Elizabeth!
Beautiful pieces of fabrics 🤩 What a great idea and lovely interpretation, Elizabeth 👏😍
I never mastered the art of tension on a sewing machine. These have such nice bright colors and you combine them beautifully.
Aha - this is what I was waiting for. Some of your machine stitching on the page. You always inspire me to do it myself but I never do, maybe with this challenge, one time I will.
Lovely and bright, this page is so you.
