Sew What!


I'm not a "seamstress extraordinaire"...like one of my friends. I have made hundreds of draperies and curtains for myself, as well as professionally.  However, she made her daughter's wedding gown that took everyone's breath away.  She is GIFTED.
And I adore fabric!  I REALLY adore fabric.
I like looking at and buying thread.  Spools are cool!  In fact, I bought my first 100% silk thread this last year...holy moley, that stuff makes applique so easy!
I'll admit I feel "hoity-toity" because i have two leather thimbles.  
I can spend a long time perusing through all sorts of sewing paraphernalia, including sewing patterns.
So to celebrate all of us who fall in between being great at sewing and those who may simply appreciate it, i made this collage.
Are you great, good, fair or not even interested? p.s. the thimble isn't mine *sigh*
