My Bling Thing!

Well, I promised you a reveal of my finished jewellery quilt, now affectionately known in this house as the Bling Thing, so here we go.

First of all, I apologise for the terrible picture.  The weather is so awful and dull that it has been impossible to get decent light at all, and my close ups of various parts were so bad I had to abandon them, so I'm left with just the one pic to share.

Ta da!

It has all this girl needs to have jewellery on hand when dressing of a morning.  Little ribbon tabs hold necklaces and bracelets, there are little popper button tabs for rings, felt for earrings and pockets for odds and ends.  I also added a brooch felt at the bottom right so that my brooches are also not languishing in a drawer forgotten in the morning rush!

It was fun to create this one from my head.  A little tricky here and there and I've learned some things I could have done better, but it works and does the job and I love the creamy vintage look achieved with the neutral colours and lacey trims.  All in all, pleased with my efforts.
