An other Grandmother's

Yesterday I made a Grandmother's heart again. I still have some pieces from her nightgown and napkins.
I have added 2 buttons from old pillowcases too.
The embroidery is modest again, I will not "disturb" the delicate fabric so much.

Swapped hearts

All the hearts I have swapped so far are on the Flickr. page in the album swapped hearts.
The hearts I have received from the other lady's are in the album received hearts.
Just give a click on the title swapped hearts!

The last blue one.....

For now, this is the last blue heart.
My first serious attempt for SRE.
And a home made siggie.
The heart has the name: Hello, I fly !

An other blue

Today I finished the fifth blue heart, the shells are from an old neckless. I got that from an uncle at the time I was a little child. He bought the neckless in Aden, A town on the shore of the Red Sea in the middle east. I never wore the neckless the last 30 years, so I decided to use those pretty tiny shells for the hearts.
One more blue heart to go....

Item blue......

Here are 3 more hearts from the blue item I sew.
There are 2 "naked"ones on my sewing table too, so I never now what comes out with them....

Stamp From France

Today I made a new heart, with new colors, blue.
This one has a print in the middle, I made the siggie myself.
A stamp from France, it is a painting from Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and I like its colors.
I did some silk embroidery too, my first attempt on the SRE way.......

the last 2 birds.........

For now I have made the last 2 birds, I think about an other topic....
