Vintage Fabric

I'm a sucker for a good piece of vintage fabric....well almost any fabric really. I found this piece last year and it has been waiting patiently in with the rest of the stash. Moving recently into maybe the first place I have ever really felt truly at home has given me tons of motivation to decorate. This fabric must now feel like it's been spread a bit thin as it's now on two bar stools, one computer chair and a throw cushion for my crazy great curvy sectional. Oh the domestic bliss.

Pillows for Mom

Every so often I come across a piece of fabric that just has to be brought home. This time it was something I just knew had to be my mother's. Unfortunately it took me a few years to do anything with it. When I conceded and just gave it to her as is she smartly requested pillows. Anything left to sit around as long as this fabric didn't need a complicated project to encourage any more procrastination.

Family Ties

This is a machine embroidery piece inspired by special family belongings. I did this a really long time ago in a embroidery class and it was an interesting use of the sewing machine. I learned a lot and have adapted this technique into many different projects.
