Art Quilt Block

Hello everyone!  It's that time again!  Challenge 64 opens today over at the Papercraft Star.  This weeks challenge is Lace.  For my project I made my first block for my "Art Quilt".  I first read about this idea from Melissa Phillips of Lillybean's Paperie.  She started hers this past summer and I was amazed with the first three blocks.  For my block I used images from our sponsor The House Across The Bay.  I printed out  one of the images from  "Text Writing Backgrounds 141" onto a fabric sheet.  I used a June Taylor brand.  Just loaded it into my printer like paper and the images was printed directly onto the fabric side of the sheet.    I also printed out a page of the "Victorian Women 170" onto  a fabric sheet and used it as an embellishment on my block.  Of course I used some vintage lace along the side and matted one of the Victorian images onto a piece of felt cut with a Spellbinders die.  The flower was made from a piece of the fabric sheet and adhered in the center of a seam binding bow.  Using fabric glue I adhered a lace applique and a half ticket. This was a fun challenge and I hope you'll play along for a chance to win some of these great images from The House Across The Bay!  Just link up before Monday 6 a.m. EST.  Good luck, and I look forward to seeing your projects!
