This week was spent walking around the Brimfield Flea/Antique Market and I got some treasures!! The sequins in the first circle were found on Monday at the vintage textile show in Sturbridge MA. The second table I came to had a this pile of wonderful sequins. They are about 5mm crinkly maroon (although they may look orange in the picture) and I believe they have gold leaf sprinkled on them... I couldn't resist!!!!!! They were just in time to adorn one of the last three circles. I replaced what I had originally done and added them.
Sorry for the lint ... the velvet I used in the squiggles around the circle does a lot of shedding. I also found the pink size 15 faceted steel cut metal beads I used in my chop on Monday. These are the last 3 circles!!!
I love these!
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful work!! Those sequins look great.
ReplyDeleteWow just beautiful as always. This quilt has really inspired me to learn this technique. I can't wait to see the whole thing all together.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous that you were at Brimfield without me!!! I love your creativity...lovely work. I envy your talent...embroidery is so soothing, yet challenging.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky and unusual find those sequins are! Your last three circles are to die for. I really love the pink.... Hugs, Cathy
