Vintage Lace Needlebooks

OK so we have all been given a bit of grief

with Blogger in the last 24 hours

but hey life goes on

and no one has 

died

so

lets hope  we can now post articles and photos again!!!

I have been busy making a number of small needlebooks

for a shop in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I have used some images from some vintage postcards in my collection

as well as vintage printed cotton, damask

and scrim

Remnants of an old embroidered tablecloth.

and the centre of this one below came as a gift from Pat Winter

one of our very best crazy quilters and who

publishes the most beautiful magazine called

Crazy Quilt Gatherings.

Check out Pats blog for details about the magazine at

http://www.gatherings100.blogspot.com/

Showing you here both front and back pages.

And finally here

Some gold organza, green velvet, printed cotton,

a silk suffolk puff, tied together with

a piece of torn gold sari ribbon.



I was also toying with the idea of putting some of these in my Etsy Shop!!!

Hope your weekend is going well, especially now that

Blogger is back.

Yeh!!!

A very big "thank you" to all my new blogging friends

too - I do hope that you find something inspiring

here to try.

Love and good wishes, Suzy.
