Thrift Store Find

I like to visit my local thrift stores to see what I can find.  Several years ago I came across this little plastic box and opened it up to find a array of different laces, yards and yards of it for $10!  I wondered what I would make from them and now maybe I have an idea what to use them for.

Silk Ribbon Embroidered Needlebook's

I have been busy with a custom order.  Matching needlebooks with silk ribbon embroidery.  
I started with the dimension and did a quick sketch of the design of the embroidery.  Fabric choice and all the supplies you need.

Gold metalic thread is used to make the scroll work

I made 4 full bloomed roses

They don't really look like roses yet but wait for it.....

rose buds and leaves and yellow centers.

Now beading and french knots.

Add a pretty pink ribbon and all finished!

Older work

Some older work.   These are already posted on my blog but buried with years of blogging.
