Lacebook Round Robin "A Woman in Paris"

These pages were created for my friend Socrates.

Her vintage theme was A Woman in Paris
Originally her theme had millinery....hence the references in my pages





Silk ribbon rose on top of vintage netting and hat pin.

















A Valentine's Day birthday is whispered throughout










Back of previous page

Image on the tag is from a millinery book;
with added stamping and painting

Felix's Onesie and Blanket

 Last weekend, my daughter and I attended an Alabama Chanin workshop in Portland Oregon.











Projects are stencilled and stitched...layered and revealed....
 Reverse applique blanket in progress











 Our hand stitches are similiar to our hand writing...
Mine are big and extroverted.






 The cotton jersery is soft and snuggie.











 Stitched with thick and doubled buttonhole thread...it should last for several generations
