I am really, really enjoying making my tags. Friday lunchtime is a time of great excitement when the latest tag from Anne Brooke is added- https://www.youtube.com/c/AnneBrookeTextileArtist
After watching the latest instalment I have a think about how I would like to make my tag. Saturday is the time for searching through my stash of fabric, threads, and assorted goodies.

Sunday afternoon is stitching time.
Tag five was called crosses.

Make one large cross from fabric and adorn with lots of little kisses. On the back you can dedicate your tag or use as a journal card. This tag I dedicated to the people who have worked so hard on the vaccine and to the inspirational Captain Tom, who died during the week of this tag.
Tag 6

Tag 6 and a chance to use a favourite button that is too nice to use. I love this sewing machine button- brief to adorn with more buttons.

Tag 7

These adorable hexies are made from circles of fabric, and yes more buttons needed- I am using all the special buttons which were living in a jam jar, which is no life for a button.
Tag 8- french knots and bullion stitch, and time to get carried away.




And I love how your enjoyment shines out of this post. So many memories and thoughts and connections stitched into these tags.

The tags are small enough not to be intimidating, they don’t scare me with things that can go wrong and waste money and they can be as personal as I like. They are the perfect projecor me after the stitchbooks. I keep them in a fabric box and often get them out to look at them.

Yes! A tag like those. I think they would be fabulous to tuck into the pockets of the Pages. They could be attached with a long thread to a Page.

Agreeing with Sandra & Margaret above.
And what a nice way to use a special single button

Isn’t it just a good use of the button- better than being in a button jar.

Your tags are wonderful and isnβt it great to be looking through all our stories buttons and bobs to find just what each tag needs. That climb to a hill for a loud hollering time sounds good too.
