what a pleasure this project is already!
When I was in Houston I found some perfect reproduction French border fabric at Lancaster Traditional Fabric's booth. (If you love unusual repro fabrics check out their site. Their booth was awesome.)
Next I created the background piecing for that center space.
Once they were pinned, I sewed them all down.
It was such a pleasure to use a variety of DMC's threads to lay down my seam treatments.
So now the background is finished and I am ready to add the next layer.
A project from my first book, the "Sister's Scrapbook Page", will give you an indication of where this is headed....
More soon.....

I agree that the blues set off that border fabric beautifully. I can't wait to see how this turns out.
I just adore that border fabric... and the blues are perfect...!
Absolutely GORGEOUS fabrics - totally says France. Looks like you are having tons of fun and that it will be a beautiful memento of your trip.
Oh so beautiful Allie. LOVE the border fabric and all the colorizing of the other fabrics you are using. The DMC threads look Fabulous. Absolutely stunning!!! DMC will be lucky to showcase this treasure when you are finished:)
love Annette
I love the deep red with the pale French blues! Your process is fascinating. Once you have all the pieces laid out the way you want them, how do you actually sew them together? Do you piece on a foundation fabric, or are you zigzagging to secure the two fabrics from the right side and then hiding that stitching with embellishment?
Gorgeous Allie! Methinks I see a familiar fabric on that!!! ;) Can't wait to watch your progress! Hugs, Pam
