It must be the nights drawing in that makes me want to work more with fabric and stitching, that and surfing some great blogs that have lovely textile pieces on show. This afternoon I have put together another page for my 'oneday' fabric book, I used upholstery fabric as a base, added lace from my stash, a page from a book and the lady was printed off on paper. Are we all the same in forcing ourselves to use that special bit of lace that we've had for ages, well I took it out of its box and nearly put it back but it needed using - well done me!

Yes, well done you..in more ways than one! This is a beautiful piece, lovely muted colours and different textures and, of course, the wonderful lace. It IS always difficult to bring yourself to use a 'special' or 'favourite' bit of lace or fabric, but, if you are keeping this yourself (as you should do) then the lace is going nowhere and you can still enjoy it whenever you wish. And..... do I spy just some teeny-weeny hanging bits?! Yes?
WELL DONE!!!!
So beautifully done such an inspiration Maureen,I love the lace,I can see why you wanted to keep but you ARE keeping just made it look prettier lol,I can also see why you love to create in Fabric,I never ever thought i would work in fabric or use a sewing machine again,but with people like you around to inspire me what can i do lol,I have to try,i,m enjoying it so much !! x

Yes, well done you, using up that bit of lace. I do the same thing LOL. This is absolutely stunning and I love the other fabric pages you have created too, I love textile mixed media art, and lace of course :)
Gorgeous Maureen and the lace is to die for.
Amen to that Maureen. It is silly the way we hang on to special bits and never use them. You have got these fabric pages down to a fine art - each one is lovelier than the previous ones. The book will be fantastic.
I should take a leaf out of your book..if you know what I mean! I have allsorts of things 'for something special' but never use them. What a lovely piece.
I think it's lovely Maureen! Beautiful fabric work!
Also want to thank you for the tag you sent me for my birthday...much appreciated...I sent you an email to say thanks too.
