Machine piecing and quilting, hand applique. I really enjoyed making this piece. Each square was cut randomly in three places, then one inch strips were inserted. The outcome was a surprise!

Christmas Comet

Sue Babbs

Hand made bobbin lace in linen and metallic threads, attached to a bought metal frame. This bobbin lace Christmas scene was designed by Renate Richter. I made small changes to it and varied the colors from her original. The whole piece took 117 hours to make.

Embroidery and beadwork over painted batik fabrics. Amongst Gale Wessel’s stash was this irresistible mansion – tall and elegant like Gale herself – and there were also these quirky beads which reminded me of her great sense of humor!

Christening Blanket

Hand-made bobbin lace in cashmere and silk to own design. This blanket was designed to match the lace on a Christening dress which I exhibited at FAOF in 2010. Visitors to FAOF have seen this work in progress at the NSNG education table in the following years. The piece took 611 hours to complete.

Sue Babbs

Beaded and embroidered. This piece was created in NSNG’s class taught by Lisa Binkley in February 2017. The central print was fabric from Sue Spargo.
