a new blog!!!! Forever Fabrics

Forever Fabrics is my new blog just for my fabrics. It is already on-line, but since I have more then 250 fabrics in my stock, I must still complete the blues, reds and greens...
However, you can see the Christmas  and Children collections, the creams and yellows, the browns ...and the blacks and greys.
Now, it is very easy to  pick up what you want, each fabric has a number, you just write down the numbers of the fabrics you want and send an email to me! I will tell you the price, including the P&P to your country.
Another good thing, the on-line Forever Fabrics catalogue will be always up-to-date!!!! (when a fabric is sold out I will remove the picture immediatly).

Please let me know your feedback about the new blog and if you find it easy to use! Your opinion is very important to me!

Work in progress!

All pieces are almost ready to paint, but first they will be cover with a thin layer of acrylic gesso, sanded, cover again, sanded, to obtain a smooth finish, only after this operation painting will be done. In the photos some of the pieces were already treated in this way, as you can see by the "white"  colour. Times seems short to do everything before Christmas, so , let´s work!!

new fabrics!

Work in progress!

Until Christmas I must finish 3 sets like this one, all for the same customer, a grandmother that´s want to give them to her 3 grandauthers, I will use different colours, but maintaining the typical colours of these Portuguese painted furniture from Alentejo....So lots of work to do during the next week-ends...

news ....fabrics!

I have just received these lovely fabrics which pattern stripes and flowers are a classic. I am in love with the first one, that instead of the flowers has tiny strawberries . The larger strip is about 1cm and the other 0.5cm....perfect for 12th scale! As usually, if you are interested in some of my fabrics just contact me to my email anaanselmo55@gmail.com

Can´t sew a patchwork bedcover? No problem, I have a solution

last work, made by order

This is a bedcover I made for a customer from Tasmania, that bought me several items on my Etsy shop. The bedcover and the two tiny cushions are double faced and the set is for a bed I make (not the one in the pictures),  maybe some of you remember the bed with the inlaid flowers,  which photo is in the top (left side) of my blog. The fabrics are from from my "blogshop", and are from the Civil War Tribute Collection,  a collection of lovely American fabrics which patterns are reprodutions  of  1800's real fabrics.
