So my Mom, or Woman as I affectionately call her, has sewn most of her life. She taught herself everything she knows from books growing up because she is the oldest with 3 younger brothers. She is why I sew and quilt and love crafty goodness--thanks Woman!! However she doesn't have a computer or a any real desire for one so I went to visit her today and managed to get pics of some of her stuff so i could show it off!!
Part of her stash!! I tried going shopping--didn't work! She'd frisk me if she thought I'd do anything!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]13772[/ATTACH] A technique taking apart silk flowers and laying a piece of tulle over top and then quilting it all down. A pretty autumn wreath wall hanging. [ATTACH=CONFIG]57225[/ATTACH] I know this one was a recent BOM. My mom found the floral center and matched the other fabrics up to it because she loved it so much! [ATTACH=CONFIG]65042[/ATTACH] |

A wool applique she did. She wants to make another using the same paisley from the border and hang them next to one another. [ATTACH=CONFIG]13832[/ATTACH] She made this school house top when I was very little. She actually wanted to know if anyone knew how to get rid of mildew. She never finished it because she was afraid it may be ruined. [ATTACH=CONFIG]13833[/ATTACH] Close up of appliqued flowers [ATTACH=CONFIG]13834[/ATTACH] |

Yet more...and mind you this is not including pics of her machines. We counted 11. Including 2 antiques ( both in their wooden desks and one that is pre-electricity), a few embroidery, a couple singers. She is planning on where she'll be putting up her frame. She attempted buying a long arm once. Put money down then decided against it. She still wants it though!
