"SENTIMENTAL SCROLL"--HAND STITCHING

 

Here are the first two finished panels for my

"Sentimental Scroll" 

all hand sewn together...

Below is how they will attach 

(wind around) to my

Grand-pere's old velvet mill bobbin

that he brought home 

when he retired----

part of the "Sentimental" 

idea that sparked this project

for me...

↧↧↧↧

As you can see, it is a good sized

bobbin; I will be adding on a 

fabric piece to the left end of 

that first panel to be

sewn around the bobbin 

to hold it all in place once

all the panels are attached 

and done...

Below is the 3rd panel 

I have just begun to set up

↧↧↧↧

The central bit of bureau scarf 

was hand embroidered by my 

Grand-mere...

The flowers represent her 

love of gardening....

and the color blue...

The chunky "stems" are part 

of the leftover fabric

from my "Dark Days" project..

and that blue silk strip is leftover

from a dress Mom made for me...;))))

I will be adding stitches and other

bits and bobs to this as I go along...

You can see the "kantha" stitching I have

begun to add in white perle #8 cotton

on the right hand side...

So I will be using bits of crocheted

lace, doilies, and embroideries

made by my

Grand-mere 

that I still have left, and 

also some leftover fabrics

from my Mom's sewing for me, 

and a few 

vintage yo-yos (as above).

I hope those of you who celebrated the

Holidays had a wonderful time....

Our little gathering was truly 

wonderful....💖
