First gift making of the new year, yay !
Floral fabric is Liberty of London, Tatum print.
Trim bought in Paris last year, and re-embroidered.
(old ?) Pink fabric has been re-embroidered too. (I loved making this !!)
Lining is a lovely acqua (or minty ?) gingham.
It's a gift for a friend but it inspired me to make more of these for the shop !
"a blue day is a work of art"
"St. Louis Blues"
"blue moon"
"blue eyes"
"piano bar blues"
1,3,10,15,17,18,21 are all significant days in my life that represent a difficult time.
Anubis bag with Anubis statue facing the camera a bit more and Egyptian Tarot cards.. The top card is 'The Moon'. This is a lovely deck by Clive Barrett. I have Hand Embroidered him with metallic threads.
Since I don't sew ( well) my mom makes all my bags for my items so I don't have to handstitch them all so I make gifts for her to give away. It is almost free advertising... I whipped up this and a matching bib. I do love the new SS patterns I used here "Cute Little Heads" check out www.sublimestitching.com
I now wish I had done the limbs in a split stitch instead of satin stitch. Noted for next time (I stitched up the other tea towels after I had already done this one)
I really like this pattern, it's just so sweet :)
The top half of the February journal quilt that I made. It represents a variety of things I enjoy:
- dogs
- trips up north that my daughters and I have made (the pine trees)
- horses
- sheep
- chickens (the white feathers)
- cats
- nature/flowers
- family
The hears are hand-embroidered onto the quilt because the points where the fabric came together looked not as neat.
Even though these appliques cover mistakes, I thought they could also represent the 3 grandparents I knew who I miss.
RE DO - I had the movie quote out of order (auugh!) and had to do it over. I found a deeper purple pillowcase for Round 2, and was VERY careful with pen marks this time. :)
The camera flash sort of washed out the green letters, but it looks nice in person.
The top of Vona's pillowcase, as requested by her sister (it's to be a gift).
The quote (in case you don't know) is from the book/movie "The Help."
I figured the "You" parts should be in block letters, and the "I" parts more casual, almost as if handwritten. :)
Bast bag with Bast statues, beads, perfume container and Egyptian tarot deck. The deck was created by Clive Barrett. I have Hand Embroidered her with metallic threads.
George Plimpton once wrote an article called "The Man in the Flying Lawn Chair" (found in the book of the same name) about a Californian man named Larry who's lifelong dream had been to soar through the air. After having the idea to use balloons for twenty years, he finally bought a lot of weather balloons, filled them with helium and tied them to a lawn chair and set off on his flight. He had no explanation as to why he wanted to fly like this, it was just his dream and something that he had to do.
I have embroidered some multicoloured balloons, filled them in with pencil crayons and added a small chair. When I was reading the article, I kept thinking of the line that Gene Wilder says in the lickable wallpaper scene "We are the dreamers of dreams" and I thought that it was the perfect sentiment. The quote is actually from a beautiful poem called "Ode" by Arthur O'Shaughnessy.

I just redid a bunch of these. The whole laundry thrown about by the wind idea just didn't really show how these look on a person (obviously)... (the mannequin's hair makes me want to start singing old Cher songs)
hand embroidered & hand crocheted
hand stamped on vintage shirt fabric

Hand embroidered pillowcases. the quote says "so fall asleep love, loved by me, for I know love, I am loved by thee." It's a Robert Browning quote
Morir es descansar... To die is to rest.

Close up of stethoscope and bottom of IV stand.
Pictures taken by my niece (thank you)!
This was a test to see if I could make a crazy patchwork cushion from odds and ends of vintage hand embroidered fabrics.
It's not usually my style but I loved having a go.
Here is her new hair. I am wondering if I should fill it all in. It is so funny how the stitches change the whole feel of the fabric. The lips are like patch thickness now and stiff and the hair has become stiff too. I have to finish her necklace and her wine glass still.
I think she may be my favorite lady so far.
It took over 1 bundle of floss to do her hair and that is 3 strands. HUGE amounts of floss.
This ACEO (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) features a hand-embroidered blue elephant strolling along in a meadow...taking the time to enjoy the flowers along the way.
This orignally-designed card is made with acrylic felt.
Cotton embroidery floss is used for stitching the design to the front of the card. The blanket-stitch attaches the card to a felt backing.
This ACEO is a wonderful, sensory learning tool for children who love art. I am using another version of this card in an ABC/alphabet book for my daughter as she learns her alphabet and how to read.
ACEOs are the perfect size for little hands to play with and enjoy...especially those who love to experience art and learn through the sense of touch.
This ACEO is available in my shop. Please see my Flickr profile for the link to my shop.
