Purse Flap - Stitched with Silk Ribbon, Silk thread. I cut a section out of some fabric and used this, stitching some of the flower in thread. I dyed the lace and some of the threads as well.
One of a Wool Fannel Scissors Case - stitched in Silk Ribbon and charms added.
The piece is about 26 X 26 inches. I quilted around the tree and the stamped gold leaves. The remainder is done in beads.
This was 95% done on my Janome Embroidery machine.My original design. It was submitted in an Embroidery Challenge at Bailey's Fall Frolic Columbus Weekend at Lakeville, N.Y. and took 2nd place of People's Choice, which was the only judging done.
An age old pattern, very simple to do ... 2 squares sewn together....
I CQ patched each square using the foundation piecing method and scraps of fancy fabrics ... covered the seams with feather stitch in various threads and fibres, some beads added ... silk ribbon clusters with beads and some other embroidered motifs on blocks.
I put the three of them in a local art show and called the grouping "Two cocks and a chick" (something to cluck about) They got a lot of comments!
The first picture is a needlebook I just finished making for a friends birthday.
The rest are all pillows I have made over the past few months.
The Needle cases are my original design and were gifts and accomplished with BDE.
The CQ blocks were done to be combined with others for a charity raffle for my group. It is being assembled and will be raffled off first of December.
The frame on this lapel pin is a vintage shoe buckle, and the silk photo is Nora Belle McCabe, my grandmother. The trim is dyed with acid free brush markers. Inspired by Pat Winter's slide pendants, and Rissa's extra notes.
