Heirloom Sewing in Texas - part 7c - the last one

 Religious vestments.. a beautiful job. 

 A Christmas tree skirt with embroidered panels and purchased trim.

A truly precise job putting the applique motif together. Great colors on the yellow mini check background.

 Another applique piece. The gold bias is purchased (?) and then applied. I have some and mine is actually iron on. but you still need to sew the edges for the perfect finished look. Great table runner, great use of color.

 This quilt is outstanding. This is another piece wherein all the blocks were embroidered individually and then sewn together to create the whole quilt look. A really great job putting the pieces together. The colors are amazing too. And perfect for the subject motif. 

 How much fun would that be in a dressing room?

 You know - a girl's just gotta have fun!

 A wonderful ensemble.

 Look at the detail of this sewing kit.. and the colors.. so dreamy. Would make me enjoy hand sewing!

 Look at this mantel cloth.. Wow. I'd be concerned getting it all lined up!

 A sweet design. Great color combo!

 Okay, now this is perfect alignment! 

and to finish off this series.. well what makes you smile more than something great for the kids or grandkids to play? This cute and darling and precious play mat.. it's got hook and loop tape on both pieces (quilt and animals). You can use it as a toss game and/or a sweet place to place a young child to attach and remove those cute animals!

Thanks so much for dropping in and spending time with me! I cherish your visits. 

Many Blessings.

Heirloom Sewing in Texas - part 7a

This category (everything that didn't fit in 1-6) is HUGE!! So I'm breaking it up into 3 parts. I value your visit and your time commitment. You can thank me later , he he. 

Goodness you must  enlarge this photo and look at the precision in every stitch on this piece. Wow!

This is laid gold thread stitched, or tacked down, to create a design. Even the tacking threads (are they called that?) are so extremely precise. I'm so impressed. Oh yeah, this was a winner.

Look at the darling pockets on this sweet, sweet dress!

Can you see the squares? Each square is embroidered independently. Then the pieces are sewn back together to create the larger quilt. Soo pretty. Terrific use of color, don'tcha think?

Love this purse.. it reminds me of the one that my BFF from Huntsville, AL made. Check out the post HERE. I love those wonderful died laces. Looks like they came from Gloria McKinnon, a crazy piecer extraordinaire. Do ya sometimes think those south of the equator got all the talent??

Such a darling cross-over bodice dress. Lovely assortment of laces!

Not sure, i think this was crocheted.. so textural.. yummy!

The lady who made the bedding was telling me her husband made the bed from scratch. Aren't both just divine?

This is the precious little one that belongs to the bed.. I believe that is her wardrobe behind her too. Wow.

 A darling dress with overcoat!

 A beautiful silk dress on this lovely creation!

Pintucks, and tucks and a lovely hat.. Isn't this a lovely creation?

Please, please enlarge this lovely picture. You won't be sorry. Everything including many of the trims are all hand made. 

So do you think this won? What do you think? yep.... a winner and I believe Best of Show too!

And this doll too - a winner! Oh these were just so beautiful it could make you cry!

Thanks for dropping in today. So glad you did. I hope you'll leave a comment so I know you were here. I pray for many blessings for all y'all!
