This is something I purchased while in La Quinta/Palm Springs recently. It hangs on the wall and has hooks for jewelry or such. The idea is really very simple yet it makes a great statement. The entire piece is approximately 24 inches in length. It would be very easy to create these out of lightweight foam core board or one of those ceiling tiles that can be used for a bulletin board. Cover with some fun fabric and ribbon and netting. Very girlie and I love it. 
This is what I purchased from my favorite fabric store in Palm Desert...Monica's. Now for me to utilize these items and not just add them to the closet of a thousand projects. 
Some new fabrics too. Very fun teacups and celebration girlie fabrics in pinks. An Easter themed panel and another panel I had to buy because I just love the little scenes on it. 
This is just one of the many scenes on the panel. I didn't even iron it for this photo. If only I knew what I will make with these. These scenes are just like pictures I have in a very old tiny little book from my childhood. Name unknown as the cover is missing forever. It even has my crayon scribbles on some of the pages but I totally treasure this little book. 
While at Monica's every lady in the shop was buying these polymer buttons as fast as they could get their hands on them. Lots of different shapes and colors and textures. All of these purchases are such inspiration for me. I just need to let the ideas happen as they will and not force them.
What would you make using these fabric panels? I would love to hear your ideas.
May you be inspired beyond your dreams...
GORGEOUS dress! I wondered where you'd be wearing it! I am inspired. Texture Magic, I want to try that myself. What are stitching lines? The panels are so sweet. I'd be figuring how to get some into my own little book. You could tell your own story. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely things you have purchased. I can't wait to see what you make with these.
ReplyDeleteNeat stuff! Wouldn't those little panel pictures be gorgeous as centres on CQ blocks? And then made into a quilt for a special little girl? Hmmm
ReplyDeleteOooh what lovely goodies you have there Sherry! I love the dress form, so very stylish yet practical too.
ReplyDeleteThose fabric panels are very pretty, maybe they could be made into pockets of some kind?
Have fun with all your purchases xx
i love the way you shop, girlfriend......fabulous finds!! i can't wait to see how you use that wonderful button!! xox
ReplyDeleteLove that girlie dress! Where are you going to hang it? That button is so cool! Can't wait to see what you create with it! I have tiny childrens books that I read every time I went to Grama's house as a very young child. I treasure these...♥
ReplyDeleteLovely goodies! That fabric panel illustration reminds me of Kate Greenaway - perhaps she is the artist you remember? Have fun creating! Theresa :)
ReplyDeleteLove your new fabric and the little dress is such a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI love everything I see here, my friend.
ReplyDeleteHappy creating today xxxx
Wonderful treasures Sherry. The inspiration will come, when the idea is right. I have used Texture Magic and it's a lot of fun - very interesting results depending on the stitching and what batting you use, if any. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWe did a little challenge at the shop last year with fairy panels - people used them for pillows, wallhangings, tote bags, books and I made mine into the cover for a flower press.
I'll look forward to seeing what creative treasures you conjure up...
This is quite a stash you have bought. Love the button and the fabric. What is texture magic, If I may ask?
ReplyDeleteI like the fabrics that you showed us here. And beautiful to me the first pictures from women's dress which can serve as a holder necklace and earrings. Like so I'll try to do. Thanks dear for the idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the dress! It is so pretty, and i love all your fabric.
