VELVET ROSES AND A SWEET LITTLE ART QUILT

Greetings, dear readers!

I have been trying my hand at creating vintage velvet roses...here are my first efforts.

I am thinking I'll make a little art quilt with the red/pink fabric. I'll incorporate stamping, embroidery, buttons, vintage and new trims, and of course, my roses!

 Isn't the fat, vintage fringe just wonderful? I love it!

 

If you recall, I created a little sampler from a vintage tea towel...I'm thinking of something along the same lines...Perhaps I'll use the colorful fabric for patches?

 

 

More soon! Hugs,

Paula Clare

OBLIGATORY POST: SPRING SWAP...FIN!

Greetings again dear reader! It seems no matter WHAT I do I just cannot stay off of my blog! Alas and alack, I must post yet again to fulfill my obligation to the Dutch Sisters Surprise Spring Swap. 

Behold the package I sent to my friend Michaja in Provence, France:

It's a little love sampler made from a flour sack towel! It was SO MUCH FUN to get my head "outside the box" when it comes to sewing...using Stayz On ink pads ensures my stamped images will stay on forever! 

I'm so glad she liked it! I hope we can swap again sometime! 

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
Paula Clare
