I also belong to Cloth Doll Artistry. They have a Holiday Ornament Challenge at the moment. This is my entry. The Doll is Snooze by Suzette Rugolo the smocked ornament is my pattern.
embroidery, quilting, postcards, collage, cloth dolls, - the list is endleess! Just about anything to do with fabric and thread. Since I retired from the day job, Textiles is my job!
Where did you learn your textle skills?
Early stitching was taught by an elderly neighbor who I called Robbie. We spent hours listening to radio soaps and crocheting or tatting. Learned some additional skills from Mom and Grandma - including machine sewing, but a lot has been self-taught - or day classes.
Hello Liz, Please can I have your address for the FPC swap, send it to sheila@sheilac.plus.com...thanks will send my address to you.......
Hope to beat the big queues in PO.it is all ready and waiting to go..BFN Sheila
Thanks for your kind comments; somehow I just love containers (hope you're not a psychologist or that may mean something to you!!) and I also love making gifts for friends. Yes, we have some wonderful old buildings here,I just hope I can do justice to them
Thank you for your kind comment about my cottage etui. It was fun to make. Not particularly useful though. LOL The inside holds a rolled up tape measure.
Thanks, Liz. I look forward to making your page - doors, where I live here in a small village on Crete, Greece there are loads of old stone buildings which have old doors but in impressive stone carved doorways. Does this apeal? Or just the door, which would be just as good with the old wood and peeling paint etc.
Hi Liz
I just checked the 'file' in the group. There were only 4 names in the list for the fpc. The way I am reading is that you swap with Gina and I swap with RoseMarie. I am happy to make a card for you and will get started right NOW.
