Nothing is as good as those dang pros...they have me beat in most things as well 😉
But they (your arrowheads) certainly seem pretty cool to the average amateur like me!
Wow, pattern testing sounds like a fun way to pass time and create something great in the meantime! I'm always in awe of those who can make up their own patterns. All I can do is my best to follow them!
Wow, I'm in amazement - the doilies, beading, swans, everything! What time and skill all of those creations must have taken!
When you say that you tested the patterns, does that mean that you came up with the designs yourself?
Thank you! Yes, I know she worked hard on all of that embroidery with more skill for it than I have! It would be great to restore the fabric's original color and get the holes closed before framing it. I've heard of restoration for wedding dresses, but not sure if the fabric on this pillow can...
Do any embroidery or quilting crafters happen to know how to go about restoring older embroidery pieces?
This pillow was made by my grandmother, but we noticed that the original material is beginning to tear and has discolored. 😟 Any help would be appreciated!
Fun! Seems like those machines have endless possibilities for creativity! I got one for my birthday a few years ago but ended up returning it because I didn't have enough time to beat the learning curve. Maybe if you post some of the cool things you find to make, it will re-inspire! :)
It was a crochet pattern, so I believe the join was a slip stitch through both thicknesses :)
Wow, I didn't realize it was so big, but that is even better!
