Teaching sample and some special buys.
I finished one of the samples for my class at The Festival of Quilts in August. I like to make several variations to inspire my students.
I have used different pieces of lace over a base cut from an old quilt, then stitched in the same colour Valdani thread throughout. The silk ribbon roses and leaves are in a pretty shade of pink.This time I've backed the heart and it is soft stuffed with some added lavender to give a soft fragrance.
She has a lovely face and a wistful expression don't you think.
Today has been a shopping day . First in Totnes market where I found these lovely crocheted doilies.
The darker ones are worked with such a fine thread ..exquisite.
Then on to Ashburton where I found this delightful cuff.
It is quite old and beautifully made, do you see the tiny buttons. It may have been attached to a sleeve at some time in it's life. I'm thinking that I could make a brides Wedding cuff with it... may be!!
We've had heavy showers today and I managed to get a soaking so I'm ready for a shower and a glass of wine and lots of tv tonight.
