Fabric and Lace Collage: "A Sister's Solace"

Hello dear friends and blog sisters!

We have a bad storm headed our way within a couple of hours, so we have have hunkered down due to the threat of high winds and possible hail and tornadoes. I thought I'd catch up on a few "computer" things while I can still be safely connected.

I finished the "purple" collage 

that I posted about last week.

I used silky fabrics,

a vintage doily,

antique lace,

and old buttons.

The whole collage was sewn to

a lovely piece of ivory damask...

It was fun working with these colors,

as they are normally outside of my

"comfort zone"...

I used sari ribbons and 

crinkled seam binding for the tie.

I got to practice some of the fancy stitches

that my fairly new sewing machine

can do...

This piece will be listed for sale in my

Etsy shop.

****************************

I also put a few things together for my next piece.

Some laces, and fabrics in grey-blues,

along with, of course,

a beautiful photo!...

Keeping the momentum going!

As always, thank you for sharing some time with me.
