Here are a couple of the Build a Seams from Thelma Bradshaw. For week one, above, Thelma has managed to make these circles shine - reminds me of wild roses, their blossoms guarded by thorns! The second week Thelma made the seam below which I just love. Using the top and bottom bits of the cretan stitch, she added more straight stitches and created these fans! I love this seam and never would have thought of it - which is kind of the point of sharing! lol
I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew . I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them. This is an antique sewing box - I could not resist it when I saw it for sale! Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high). From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk. The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion. I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway. I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a comment telling me which item you like best. Feel fr
