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....💖
