  9. Oh the scrim is amazing - a whole new art form! Love the cards, golly Kraft card could have been invented to act as a foil for your works!

  10. Great minds, Lynn - I've put embroidery on hold for a short while and made a handful of cards with my lacy/fabric/scrim bits, as I have a lot of birthdays coming up shortly. I love yours - did you actually get the sewing machine to sew through the background card or is that white pen? I'm not sure my machine would cope! What a perfect match that bowl is with your altered linen cloth - gorgeous!

  15. Hi there Lynn,

    Beautiful work! The dish you found at the charity shop is striking - and goes so well with your piece!

    Thanks for stopping by! I enjoyed knitting the purse and will be making some more, the next one will have a flat bottom though.

    Happy WOYWW

  22. Honestly Ladybug, I can't imagine you creating anything any more perfect. I love everything you make. Your attention to detail and eye for design is amazing. Happy Wednesday! SueC#129

  23. That's incredible, I can't believe a machine can do that. Is it a normal sewing machine or something special to do that? Whatever it is, you did a fantastic job.
    Have a great week.

    1. It's just a normal sewing machine Von, nothing special. I've got a great teacher showing me how to free motion embroidery

  24. Hi Lynn, still ploughing my way around the desks, sorry i'm late to yours. I love your cards, they are very touchy feely if you know what I mean, and your charity shop find goes perfect with your linen cloth. The texture in your embroidered builders scrim is lovely, I wonder what builders do with scrim? Your blog, desk, studio always seems like an area of calm in this mad crafty world. Hugs Mo x #60
