Tangled Thread “Tags & Tie-Dyes” contest

I thought that it’s been too long since I’ve hosted a contest on Tangled Thread… I’m giving away on of my DH’s copper fiber art tags, this one says “Love” in block letters. I had so many responses about my hand-dyed quilting cottons that I’ve decided to also include five 4 inch squares of the colors you see here!
Okay, now the rules: Due to shipping costs, the contest is open to residents of the continental USA and Canada. To enter, just leave a comment on this post, describing what you’re going to do with the tag and the fabric. The contest will run until Saturday, April 26th, and I will hold a random draw on the 27th to determine a winner. I’ll write a post on the 27th announcing the winner’s name. The winner will have three days to contact me to claim their prize – I’ll draw another name after that.
Good luck!
I will give these to my daughter, who is just learning how to sew. I can see the tag being turned into a necklace pretty quickly, but we’ll see what she does with the rest!

Honestly, I don’t know what I would make out of them yet. I have to see something and hold it for awhile and let my mind think before I can come up with something. The love tag would probably go somewhere where I can see all the time.
The Love tag would go on my bedroom door. The fabric would either go into a quilt or to decorate a t-shirt for my daughter.
What a cute tag! I thin kI’d probably pass it all along to my mom, and she could make a quilted wall haning with it!
I am going to make a little bag/purse.
Those are such good giveaways! I would use them to make a bag that I can carry all of my things to work! =)

My daughter loves to scrapbook and tiedye! I would love to surprise her with these!
Give it to my mom….hopefully she’ll finish MY quilt!
I would use both the fabric and tag as part of an Apron! I would be beautiful!!! I can picture it now!!!
I would use the fabric and tag in a scrapbook design. Something showing ots of light and happiness. Vacation scenes and summertime.
Give to a crafty friend and ask her to make me something.
The fabric would look lovely in a quilt, and the tag would look nice in a scrabook or as part of a bigger piece framed.
I heart tie-dye. I’d make a halter top with this.

i’d make a sling or a tote
Great giveaway! I hope i’m the lucky winner
Not sure what to do yet but I will make something for my girls.
I would probably use the fabric (which is awesome!) to embellish baby shirts/onesies. I’m not sure what I’d use the tag for, but I could find something – I might put it on a bag that I make or maybe in a scrapbook or on a necklace, who knows?!?!
Thanks!
I would make a small wallhanging with the fabric and charm – it is my son’s high school graduation in May – and it would be perfect for him!
FABULOUS looking dyed fabrics and the tag is GREAT!!!
I’d quilt those lovely pieces of fabric, add the tag and all the other embellishments the piece needed. Then I’d add a frame and display it in a prominate place in my house.
The fabrics are wonderful! For me they’d need to go in a quilt.
I would incorporate the fabrics in my next project, or the current one, as well as adding the “Love” tag too.
I’d give the copper tag to my good friend/fibre artist in Britain and I’d use the luscious fabrics in …well lots of things, but first I’d fondle them, a lot!
im learning to sew so id probably make a cutesy little bag
How cool! Thank you. Please enter me.
I’d make a wall hanging from those georgous squares with the verse from the Bible on it, “…Faith, hope, & love, & the greatest of these is LOVE” with the tag right there at the end!
What!!! You’re supposed to *make* something with them? I would probably pet them and rub my cheek with them, drool over them a bit and marvel at the colors, and then finally hang them on the wall next to my work computer to make me smile, and I’ll dream of sitting at my sewing machine making a wonderful, colorful quilt, and I won’t get any work done.
Lovely! I’d make a small quiltlet for my daughter’s wall.
I’m desperately behind in a birthday present for my older and wiser sister. I’m thinking that she needs a journal made with your nice hand dyed squares, and a “Love” tag to remind her that I’m her favourite (if somewhat tardy) sister.
I’d make my weekly quilt out of it! This is wonderful. Your blog is new to me, but I’m enjoying going back and reading your posts.
Wall Art
Well, I would desperately try not to hoard them!
I would first drool a little bit, then rub them on my face while making lots of soothing sounds. hehehe! I’m truthfully not sure what I’d do with the squares.. maybe add them to some stuffed critters. The tag is fantastic as well and I see it on the front of a journal.
I would like to put the artful tag and luscious fabric on my wall and enjoy them for awhile. Then make a small framed piece using the fabric and tag and hearts-to proclaim the bond between my daughter, my mother, and me. Thank you.
What would I do? HAVE FUN and make something beautiful
I’d use the fabric in a small art quilt and the copper tag would be wonderful on the cover of an altered book.
I would use the hand dyes to the best possible use in a little piece that would go with the copper plate message, then I would embellish and frame. I would use the copper piece as the ‘plaque’ like paint artists do.
I’d love to use it to make a lovey blanket for my son
I’ll make a quilt!
I’m so excited! I want to use it in my scrapbooking designs. I hope I win because I can’t wait to get started!
Since Love is my name I’d keep the tag; but, I’d use the material for another quilt
Thanks
I would make a small crazy quilt block and frame it for my son and his honey who just bought our old house and renovating it while we have moved to Florida..it would make a gorgeous little quilt to frame..thanks for having this wonderful contest!
I think I’d use it in a quilt I want to make to celebrate my 50th birthday later this year.
Appliquéd flowers in a Baltimore album that I have been working on on and off for a few years. I am trying to use strictly hand dyeds for the appliqué. This is a quilt that is a long term project. And the tag would be used on an art quilt that I am just starting to create. This would be my first art quilt in several years so I am basically starting over again fresh.
I think I’d make some jewelry out of all of it. They’re delicious together! ^_^
I think I will make a pillow to give to my daughter.
my mom in law..please enter me
make a quilt! ty!! 4 the great contest!!
I’m currently working on a wall art quilt for my bedroom, which incorporates words from Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” and expresses my love for my husband. It’s made entirely with tie-dye and batik fabrics. These fabrics would incorporate beautifully, as would the tag. Thanks!
I would add a few beads and stuff to make a sweet fiberart postcard series.
I’m going to teach my 5 year old to sew with it. We may make some appliques for t-shirts or doll clothes.
I need to make a new tote bag for all the extras I take to work with me. The tag would add a real touch of style.
I would make an absolutely beautiful quilt for my mother and I would use the gorgeous copper fiber art tag for a creative frame of a family picture of us together when I give it to her.
