While in Peninsula
for the From Our Hands show this past weekend,
I purchased a sewing roll made by Christine Miller ~
{{ a.k.a. Rebekah L. Smith's fabulously talented mom! }}
here it is below:
What appealed most to me about it,
is the old & nubby linen she used to stitch her motifs upon...
as well as her color choices of threads & fabrics.
~ Simply Perfect ~
So of course, that got these old wheels of mine rolling...
and thoughts of creating my own needle/sewing roll began creeping in.
So with this beautiful one now in my hand,
and the thousands of inspirational photos of genuine antique ones on Pinterest...
I think you can guess what I'll be making soon!
In the meantime,
here are my favorite ones from said Pinterest...
 |
| this one above looks like it might have been made from a cut-down sampler... |
 |
| love the colors on this one, above. |
 |
| sweet little thing! |
 |
| the darker threads and fabric choices lend a moody feel to this one, above. |
 |
| those calicoes!!! |
 |
| the wonkier, the better. |
 |
| ok, these fabrics are dreamy! |
 |
| front & back view...housed under glass now for eternity. |
 | |
| and I think this one to be my favorite. |
Do any of you have/collect needlework rolls or huswifes??
If so, you can share yours on my
SAMPLERMAKERS Group on Facebook ~
I would love to see them!
Blessings from the Farm
