Morning Sue
My Auntie used to have a sewing machine like that!! I spent many a happy hour working the treadle part at the bottom and watching the needle go up and down. (Wasn't allowed to put my fingers anywhere near the needle in those days LOL!!).
A really beautifully finished card and your hand stitching is so lovely. It must have taken for ever - but well worth the finished result.
I hope you have had a good week.
Love Jules xx
Wonderful vintage make, Sue! Those are great stamps! I have an old Singer that looks like that! And, unlike me, it still sews perfectly!!!
Have a lovely weekend! xx
A fabulous card and I love the monotone look, very vintage and aged, so suitable for the stamps used. Your stitching is very neat too.

Hi, Sue! Great design! I completely appreciate all the stitching because mine never is straight, and yours looks great - especially on EVERY panel! (And you did it BY HAND! YIKES! I can scarcely hold a needle - I recently stitched some fibrous ribbon to a card and it was painstakingly arduous! LOL) My favorite part, though is your flower layers with the button and twine. I gave up being able to tie little bows, and now just COMPLETELY appreciate them on friends' blogs - love your card, and the cute, colorful monkey card, AND your beautiful wedding card, too. Apologies for not leaving a comment on each. love ya, de
This is a bit different and I love it x
