Fabric Collages

I can't believe that it has been so long since I last blogged- I'm not sure where the time has gone!
I have been working on two fabric collages both twelve inches square.  I tea dyed all the fabrics and lace to antique them and I used both machine and hand embroidery. I sewed on lots of beads buttons and sequins and mounted the pieces on tea dyed calico. To finish the pieces I am going to stretch them over wooden frames.


On Saturday I am going to Cottenham for our next Fen Edge Textile Group meeting. Pauline has arranged a "Wired to stitch" workshop which I'm sure will be great fun.

Absolutely gorgeous collages- they look really "vintage" I love the soft colours
