CQ Ring Bearer's Pillow

Today was a very good day, I did accomplish a lot. I have almost all the patches attached to the pillow top. The seam treatment is done as patches are attached. The patches are sewn to a backing of muslin by hand. Then the seams are covered with a flat narrow lace or various styles of gimp. The colors are whte, off-whte and cream.


Today I also played with arranging some appliques I removed form other wedding dresses obtained for fabric and applques and some of the flowers I found on EBay. Took some of the very small ones to use as a seam treatment and then scattered the others in groups. I am really liking the way this is turning out. I had to take a photo so I can duplicate the placement, (which is hard to see due to the color), but will need to enlarge to see detail. White reflected to much light and so the photos are so good, tried to scan and that was as bad.


Once I get good photo will post.

Fabric Stash is Growing

Thanks to all the nice vendors tempting my eyes and demolishing my bank account my stash is growing. Along with some more fabric I got the above items. Needed the Butterflies for another granddaughter's quilt, not sure where I'll use the little flowers, but I'm sure I'll find a place.

I now have most all the fabric I need for several quilts. Some more watermelon buttons to finish one of my paperdoll dresss, some applique butterflies for a granddaughter's quilt. Her other grandmother made her a dress with cherries on it. She used wooden beads for the cherries, since the paperdoll dress is smaller I'm going to use the cherry buttons. It is so nice when you find the perfect thing to add to your projects.

Off to stitching.
