Linda http://une-petite-folie.blogspot.com/ sent me a beautiful red and white sampler she bought at SIMP this summer. I have just finished framing it. Isn't it wonderful! Thank you again Linda! I adore it.
I bought the fabric for this chair at the Tom Bishop show in 2010. It is really heavy unlike the silk and made the job a lot more difficult. I thought I would just make another wing chair while all the do's and don'ts of upholstery were fresh in my mind.
Such a pretty little setting!!! I adore your new chair, yet again beautifully upholstered. You have framed the sampler beautifully, I feel ashamed as mine is still sitting on my desk waiting for my attension......hopefully soon??? Your little lamb is EXQUISITE......oh how I wish we lived closer!!!!!.....I would love to explore your collection of miniatures...lol!!!! X
Oh, Catherine, that chair is GAW-JESS! I see what you mean about piping and I am immediately going to pick up that weavey-thingy you told me about! The sampler is so lovely in its frame! And as usual, your vignette is perfectly staged!
This is all so gorgeous, so perfect together. The sampler is beautiful in it's new home and the new chair---well I'm speechless! Again, your setting is perfect and your photography is flawless---
Bonjour catherine . Cette chambre est magnifique . J aime beaucoup les teintes douces de tous les objets . C est un très joli travail . La teinte rose du couvre lit est sublime . J aime beaucoup tous les petits détails de cette chambre
Only one word to describe your chairs ... perfection!! This little scene is just gorgeous. You are a very clever lady to upholster chairs so well. I'm sooooo impressed!! Judith x
Dear Catherine, right now I have a terrible headache and I think that if I could lie down a little on the inviting bed, and squint my eyes as I look at all the small details of the resting room, the headache would go, leaving room for a restful happiness: -) Your latest work is fully justified by the beautiful result :-) Mini hugs Flora
Lovely chair, lovel colour and lvely vignette as usual :o)) I well remember the ampler, the lady who sold them had no more when I arrived to her stall :o(( But I am glad that it's at your house. Minihugs, Rosanna
Lovely chair and sampler! I like how the fabric almost gives the illusion of button tufting (something I love!), but I can imagine the fabric was not easy to work with.
Hello Catherine, The chair came out beautiful. Good job my friend. I love your mini rooms, they look so enviting and charming. the smapler is just the right touch. Big hug, Giac
Not only is your craftsmanship outstanding but your sharp eye for details also comes to expression in the way you stage your beautiful creations. As always a delight to see! Thanks for sharing. @Linda, stunning little sampler, embroidery to scale!
Welcome to my blog!
I am artist and a metalsmith. I have always loved miniatures and dollhouses. My interest in making miniatures is not restricted to the metal work I do. This year I plan to design and build a dollhouse.
I do not sell the miniatures I am making right now while I am trying to build my own collection.
Who is Kilmouski? ... He's my cat. And he sits right next to me no matter how many hours I work.
