Today it's all about machine stitching. And it begins with a well-worn linen skirt that's plain and boring...
I kept it simple but I think I might go back and stitch some tiny turquoise beads in the center of the flower stitching row. Wouldn't that be pretty?
so pretty rebecca!!!
im behind in catching up on blogs but am heading over to read about your haiti trip.
blessings to you my friend

Sigh once again. Glad you are safely home and had a wonderful experience again in Haiti. I do hope you show us the turquoise beads if you do that, hoping...

I LOVE this!!!! I'm so doing this once I get my rear in gear and take my broken sewing machine to the warranty center (I haven't been procrastinating on that at all - uhhhhh....)...

I am off to the closet. There is a lot of "boring" things that are in for a surprise! Thanks

Sigh....It is just so beautiful to look at.

It would definitely be pretty! It's already pretty, though. I love it. I haven't used those stitches on my machine in too long. Hmmm, maybe I'm going to have to revisit those. ;-)

I have been debating on buying a new machine with beautiful stitches....you may have just convinced me to take the plunge! Gorgeous skirt!

So pretty! Alas, my machine does not have all the way cool stitches.
