{Candlewick Quilt Stocking}

December 1, 2019

Happy December! Today, I want to share a stocking I made using a vintage quilt that had been candlewicked on it. I found this wonderful tutorial of how to put the lining inside and finish it all.

I added some vintage lace bits and mother of pearl buttons too. This stocking is available in my Etsy shop. It would make a lovely gift or accent in the home.

I hope you are staying warm and snuggly in your part of the world!

{Simply Neutrals Tuesday #39 – Little Altered Dress}

March 27, 2018

I am joining Wen for Simply Neutrals Tuesday. Please visit her blog and see Wen’s and see many other artists beautiful posts as well: appleapricot.blogspot.com

This little white dress was a recent project of mine over the course of several weeks. I like to take busy work with me to the doctor’s office, and this was a perfect one to create and stitch while waiting.

I love the little girl’s face, so sweet and lovely.

Little bits of antique and vintage laces, beads, sari silk, fabrics and mother of pearl buttons…

The little piece all finished, and hanging from the hanger.

Have a wonderful week and Happy Easter to all of you!

{Whispers of Pink Fabric Collage Journal}

March 10, 2017

I wanted to share my fabric journal that I was working on this past week. It really feels great to be sewing again and working on things in the studio. I used various vintage images that were printed on fabric and I tried to find them that had “pink” somewhere in the photo.

I incorporated lots of vintage embellishments: hankies, mother of pearl buttons, fabric flowers, antique laces and trims, doilies, and ribbon. This journal has a little locket that is attached to the ribbon streamers as well.

I will be listing this in my Etsy shop:

I am grateful to have power as well right now. Like many, Michigan was hit quite severely with a windstorm and over 800,000 were without power since Wednesday. Many are still without and it is COLD. I hope they get it restored soon!

Happy Friday!

I made this little vintage baby dress art awhile back and finally photographed it to share today. The dress detail really speaks for itself, all the delicate embroidery. It is much prettier in person. Just a sweet image and some mother of pearl buttons because I wanted to details and dainty details to show.

I was able to spend some time with my son’s Ian and Andrew on Mother’s Day. My daughter could not join us as she was working. The boy’s took me out for a Chinese dinner and a ride in my son Andrew’s new car. He had fun showing me the take off (it has a turbo package). I wanted to share our little outing with all of you and hope you all had a Happy Mother’s Day as well.
