I have just made this crazy patch heart, part filled with lavender, for hanging from a door or drawer knob, for a friend's 70th birthday. This is a lady who collects antique dolls and in fact she is in US at the moment attending a workshop and seminar. I think she will love it but so do I! Of course you never get around to making things for yourself, do you.
Back. I have since added a little butterfly to cover the ribbon join at the top [ATTACH=CONFIG]69145[/ATTACH] Front. It is made mostly from dupion silk and velvets and has beading which is a bit hard to see in the photograph. [ATTACH=CONFIG]69146[/ATTACH] |
Absolutely adorable. I would love to get a pattern for that. A very elegant touch. Great job.
|
Very pretty! I'm sure she will love it.
Yes, we do put ourselves on the bottom of the list sometimes. Darn. |
It came out of my head. Just start with any heart shape and off you go.

I look at that and imagine you probably had ancestors that use to sit and sew the crazy quilts that were so beautifully embellished centuries ago. |
Oh, that is sweet! Give yourself permission to make another for yourself!

that's lovely. You will just have to make another one for yourself..or 2 or 3 or 4 or... :)
|
adorable
|
So very pretty.
|
I have an idea! Make one for yourself and do a tute while you're making it!The tute will give you excuse to make it. It's lovely!
|
Very pretty! I see why you don't want to part with it. But making a tute is a good reason to make another and let us see how you did it!!!

That's a BEAUTIFUL decoration and a WONDERFUL present for 'someone who has everything'. KWIM? Thanks for the idea! I made a very simple crazy patch heart out of cotton fabric and no decorative stitches YEARS ago at a local library. It's still hanging on our bedroom door. I wanted to try this 'quilting' stuff. Remembering now - Back then we cut out templates of the pieces and sewed them together making sure to match the ends. Now we do flip and sew and achieve the same effect with no thinking involved. LOL :) |
That is very nice!! If you give it to her, she'll absolutely love it. One question though, is your name Joyce also? :lol: :lol: :lol:
|
I usually make two of everything so I can keep one and give the other away. Otherwise I always have those pangs of jealousy that I want to keep it!!!
|
Pretty! I would want to keep it too!
|
That is just beautiful. Such wonderful stitching. It looks Victorian. I'm betting she is going to love it. Thanks for sharing.

Its a bit roundabout but my avatar is one of my dollhouses and it is named Caer Urfa and Caer Urfa is the old old name for South Shields in UK, my husband's birthplace. |
