This is the page I made for Shelly.....her theme was "Vintage & Birds". I received a box of vintage doilies so I embroidered one in variegated cotton to use a background. I had a piece of vintage silk from an old coathanger of my grandmother's and I ironed an iron transfer for the flapper and gramophone onto the silk. I machined those pieces onto the doiley using rayon thread & a decorative stitch on my machine. I embroidered the flapper using a variety of threads with pigment pen highlighting her legs, arms, gloves, face & hair. The gramophone was embroidered in cotton floss. The birds were very faintly stamped on and I embroidered them using a thicker silk thread.

I was pretty pleased with the way it turned out & I think Shelly was too.

Frances, from Australia, wanted her pages to be "In the Garden".  I thought she might like to walk along a path in her garden and view a variety of flowers.  I mixed hand embroidered, silk embroidered and purchased flowers with embroidery on top for her garden. Shelly from south Florida, USA

Tea - Page from Francis

 This is the front of the page I received from Francis. Those are pictures of some of her favourite teapots, photographed and printed onto fabric.

This is the reverse with a ride at the amusement park called the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.Even the little note has a small teapot charm which is so cute.
Thank you for a beautifully personalised page Francis.

This page is the third page of my book.

Tea - Page from Teresa

This is the pretty page Teresa made for me. I love all the embellished teapots and the little tea labels.
This is the second page in my book.
Thank you for the little fabric cutting and the packet of little goodies Teresa.

I'll do a post of the page I received from Frances next week. I'm trying to pace things.
Hope everbody's having a great weekend.  

Theresa's theme is travel.  She has been travelling and I saw a fabulous article in this summer's issue of Quilting Arts magazine featuring  mobile campers.  I made Theresa one I would like to have to take the FL Keys.  Shelly

flower page for Francis by Cobi

I like to wrap the page like it's a little present.

 Francis asked for pages with a garden or flower theme. I love making and working with flowers, so this was right up my alley. I made the background fabric from 2 pieces of hand dyed cotton which I cut in strips and then braided together again. Alle leaves and flowers come from my stash. Flowers are folded in 3.

This is the backside of the page. I enjoyed making this page but it took so much time that I fell behind making pages. But I'm working on it.
