I was reading a few blogs yesterday ....and there is some appliqué being done on one of them.. (Helen Geglio) so I was interested in reading more and on Helen's appliqué blog...as I read it came to me that she was appliquéing felt pieces not cotton or linen pieces and that is why they look so darn nice. Felt. I am thinking thin felt and not the thick craft kind. But appliquéd, turn edge felt.
Blowing my mind. Now to find some. Felt. Old, beaten up thin felt. Old felt rags.
Helen also buys odd lots of thread and fabric from estate sales. I like this idea. Like a surprise box coming to your house - you think you know what you are buying but...you never really know. I have plenty to work with here at home. And someday soon I will venture back into the depths of Goodwill. I like buying old linen shirts and blouses. But I know the best stuff (for me) was bundled up to sell as rags by the pound. The stuff I truly love. Rags. Torn, Worn, Stained.
Now I need to figure out how to find old beat up, faded felt. I love a new HUNT......
The book. The Corset Diaries. There was romance (Rom). There was comedy (Com). There was non stop sex. I looked up the author's booklist and she does quite a bit in the Vampire Collection. I couldn't find the book mentioned on the cover of Corset Diaries- Men in Kilts. From experience in reading early romances- Men in Kilts would be quite exciting to read. But I can't find it in any Maine library. But it's supposed to be wickedly witty. oh well. I don't care for the Vampire books but my daughter says they are VERY interesting. Sigh. I was wanting Men in Kilts. And A Hard Day's Knight.
