The Rag book.... 2 More pictures added.

Post by wendywombat »

...I made. You may remember that one of the girls in my Crafty morning was going back to the UK.
We all made samples of our work and I put them together in a rag book. These are examples of what was in the book. There were 14 in all! I've just selected a few.

Lynne loved the book so all went well. :whoop:

The cover

Last two pictures! The internet was behaving better today! :dance:

These two hearts are embroidered with silk flowers and threads.

the 4th set is a photo on fabric and some crocheted motifs from someone's wedding dress she is making! I mounted that on some silk.

I'm so pleased that this Rag Book turned out so well, and it was a great use of a whole load of shirt buttons I found in my button box!
