As you know, on this blog I show you what I come up with when I have been inspired by others. Not long ago I got hooked on a blog posted by Gosia, from Poland. She is very creative, and all her work is crisp and neat; a habit I need to work on. Anyways, I am getting off track here. If you go to her blog, Pick & Post , on this actual post , you will see a card that she drew and had me glued to my laptop monitor for some time. I loved the simplicity of it. The crispness. The purity. So I set off working on a project that would reflect what I gleaned from her post. I started to work on my jean jacket the day after that wedding I went to in Maine a few weeks back.
In the hullabaloo of getting back into the groove of things upon our return from our vacation, I forgot all about it. Next thing you know my friend, Alicia , and I were doing our best to tread water with our new sewing project . During the project my friend, Amy did a lovely post on her blog, This & That , that brought my jean jacket back to the fore front. Amy did a post with some beautiful pictures, that to me, represent the essence of summer. The photograph of the Queen Ann's lace brought Gosia back to my mind and I decided to finish the project. Here it is
I am sure you would like to see more than a close up so here is that
I added the corner of an antique kerchief I had. I think it balances the whole thing out. What do you think?
Until next time, Carolina
I, of course, love the fuzzy one...it reminds me of a dandelion that has gone to seed...the moment right before the seeds take flight!

What a fun idea! I love the different textures and stitches.

it feels so nice to inspire somebody (especially when 'somebody' is creative and fun)... I hope you won't mind if I mention your project in my next post...
