Machine Wrapped Chord

Just pulled this out of the archives. A while ago I had a fettish for machine wrapped chords. I did this with two or more strips of fabric twisted togethor and zigzagged with a large stitch. These come in handy for  giftwrapping, wraps for journals or any decorative ideas you can think of.  A fancy thread on the machine helps in the embellishment of the chord.  You could also add beads or other bits and  pieces.  Its all about using your imagination.   This one needs  to be finished.

A Look Inside My Fabric Book

I have been asked to show a page or two from my fabric book as seen on my header. Creativity is my theme. I had a lot of fun with this. So, here we go a couple of photos..........

The top page shows some ribbon roses.
The lower photo shows a small piece of the page peeking through the machine wrapped chord.

Something Old, Something New
