Draw something made of fabric.  When the girls were little they both hated itchy tags in their clothes.  Since many of the labels were like little tapestries, I kept a coffee can on top of the dryer and would save the labels for craft projects or whatever.  We ended up with three large cans full of labels.

Our dear friend and neighbor, Judy, told me about her friend Terese's quilt of a textile worker made entirely of clothing labels.  Terese had gotten labels from people all over the world, but as the quilt grew she needed more labels for finish the background.  We were able to fill a big bag with labels for Terese.  I'm hoping some made it into the quilt.

We still have a small box of the labels, and this is one of them....  Mary
