Summer Of Color Weeks 4 And 5!

This week's color challenge was brown,

and this handsome couple pictured are my parents.

I titled this piece:

"September 19, 1959",

for reasons I am sure you can guess.

I printed my favorite wedding photo of my parents onto fabric,

layered bunches of vintage lace onto fabric,

(this photo shows a cloe-up of my cheater method of free-motion stitching)

and embellished with vintage buttons and millinery.

I am more than a week late with my Yellow project,

but here it is.

This piece is titled:

Ryan's Sunflower.

This is my favorite photo of my youngest,

circa 1995.

I used new fabric for the background,

layered vintage laces, trims and buttons,

and finished the piece with a big metal R for Ryan.

(I found the letter in a parking lot years ago,

probably fell off a car)
