after a bit of a break from the sewing machine (well apart from the mending jobs) i decided a small patchwork piece was next. the fabric is mainly vintage sheets, with plenty from the FQ swap, and a couple of tea towels too.
the embroidery hoop was op-shopped way back and the beautiful yellow woollen pom-poms were a recent etsy purchase from Azalea Cottage Crafts.
i've seen some beautiful wire word art around blog-land of late so decided to try my hand at making my own. i simply folded in half and stitched a long length of bias binding and threaded through the wire. I then bent it to shape.
the pretty little milk glass bowls were op-shopped for $4.
now just to find a bare section of wall to hang it. x
You should pop some of these in your little shop Zara.
ReplyDeleteI can see a Hello one, hanging from a front door - a pretty welcome wreath x
i love the colour wash effect in the placement of your vintage fabrics. What a lovely welcoming message to have hanging in your kitchen to greet you each time you enter
ReplyDeleteoh its lovely zara x

ReplyDeleteHow you managed such perfect "grown up writing" just by bending wire, is beyond me. That really is a beautiful piece of work.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, i love it. honestly one of the best things ive seen!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can see some of the FQ's I entered in the vintage sheet swap in your wonderful creation. Looks great!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous patchwork, it has come together so beautifully with the hello!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of patchwork embroidery-hoop art, that's really different and clever.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's nice to do something small after being involved in a big project. This is such a sweet idea! The variations could be endless. How lovely for a new baby!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cheery piece
ReplyDeleteReally lovely. I’ve been pulling together a few of my favourite fabrics in thrifted hoops but I love the idea of a patchwork piece.
