Here is a photo of a beautiful foot stool embroidered by Anne Marie in Canberra for her sister's 60th birthday - what a lucky lady! The foot stool is lovely in itself being an antique and Anne Marie bought Lee Lockheed's wool embroidery book from me and then a lot of wool threads.
Here is a photo of my friend Sharon - she runs the mini chapter of the Australian Costumers Guild here in Canberra. She made part of this outfit from patterns that she purchased from me - what an effort!

Lois in Canberra bought this vintage linen Semco Australia theme teacloth from me in an unfinished state and has done an absolutely beautiful job of finishing it - see the close ups I have taken. It was displayed recently at the 2010 Embroiderers' Guild ACT Annual Exhibition.
Here are two beautiful designer dolls that, one of my customers - Jules from Canberra, has designed and sewn couture fashion for. With the doll on the left, Jules has hand beaded vintage lace handed down from her mother. The doll on the right has had vintage braid, bought from me, used on the skirt. Jules often buys laces and braids from me to use in her work. They are just beautiful Jules. Jules doesn't take commission work at the moment but does occasionally sell privately to specialist shops. If you want to know where and if any are available drop me an e-mail.
Here is a picture of a flannel quilt, made by Mel in Canberra, that I have watched grow and finally be completed over the last few years. It is completely stitched and bound by hand and to finish it Mel used mother of pearl buttons she had purchased from me. The buttons are all etched in some way and after I heard the story I specifically searched them out and put them aside for her. It is a beautiful quilt Mel.
Here is a picture of Susan in Canberra in a dress she made from some vintage fabric she purchased from me. She has only recently started sewing and I believe has made over 25 dresses already - the bug has truly bitten! Well done Susan.
