Happy Saturday! This little fabric book I made during January/February and was finally able to photograph it. I was truly lost without my camera – and while it was never repaired (long story and an unhappy one) I had to go and replace it because of my business.
Each page is a fabric image of old Valentine postcards. I added pocket pages, lace doilies and oodles of trim as well. Sari silk tops the front cover. I am in a sewing mood again and hope to start creating more.
Ahhhhhh! To sew and to sew some more…such little things we take for granted and now I can do them again in small doses. First, it was tackling the pedal on the machine. My ankle was not strong enough in February, but now after wearing ankle weights and trying over and over I can control the pedal pretty darn good! :-)
This fabric book has oodles of antique laces, vintage collars and mother of pearl buttons. I also added some Tim Holtz music fabric and a few of his fabric cabinet card images (thanks to Terri Heinz) and of course the beautiful images throughout the book are from Paper Whimsy.
Thanks for peeking at my art work! Wishing you a Terrific Tuesday!
Hello From Snowy and Freezing Cold Michigan! Wow did we get pelted this week with it. I haven’t seen this much snow in a LONG time. January is usually this way in my state…but the sun is shining oh so bright today and that makes my soul very happy!
Since I’m hiding inside (more than usual) I created this fabric Valentine album using old vintage post card images printed on to fabric transfer sheets, lace, doilies, and the extra touch of a handmade “Love” charm.
Hope you are staying warm in your part of the world! :)
