Once Upon A Time

Once lives high above the village in the clock tower. With her lives Time, a mythical beast. And yes, Time does fly.
Once wears boots of needlelace stitched in place.
Time has a wonderfully shaggy mane and giant feather wings.
Stay tuned for more about their world and their stories.

An Embroidered Frame
This is a new embroidered frame. The plan is to be able to layer multiple embroideries into a 3D embroidered quilt.
This is the top layer.
Details around the edges.
This is a sampler that is still in the works. By placing the frame over the sampler you can get an idea of the look I'm after.
Each piece takes on a whole new look!

My Dining Room as a Stage Set
I'm starting to think about Christmas Decorations. I love Thanksgiving and never want to short change such a wonderful day, but I'm not hosting that feast this year. But I will be hosting several Christmas Parties and they start off in early December. So I'm thinking about Christmas Decorations.
First I wanted to catch the Dining Room on this pretty fall day in it's usual dress.
Lots of milk glass.
White dishes go with everything!
Succulents in the milk glass.

Finishing Embroideries
Over the weekend I finished off the edges of 4 embroideries. Lots of people frame their stitching. I've always preferred to keep the tactile assets of my textile by adding a backing and a binding .
I usually use small straight pins to pin up my work wherever I like. This works with drywall/plaster board wall surfaces but not a real plaster wall.
Choosing the binding fabric is one of the fun ways of playing with your fabric stash.
Blue and white stripes were perfect for this piece.
