Country Road



Country Road

This picture came about as its one of the roads in the village where I walk my little dog. I used lots of my favourite soft green fabrics which lend itself to a country look.

One of the first pictures that I did. My friend in Wales sent me a bag of fabric scraps and in it was a square piece of cream vintage blanket and it seemed a nice size for a picture so I just "had a go" at creating a country scene with some fabric, embroidery and print.

This picture was nice to do with lots of very pretty summery fabrics although as its an English garden thought I'd better include a pair of wellies just in case it rains!

Summer Days





Welcome to String Bean Vintage blog. My name is Carol and I sew pictures onto vintage blanket which are then made into greeting cards and prints. Hope to share some of my pictures and news and this a picture from last year (which was on my calendar) called Summer Days inspired by the lovely Gower coast in South Wales.
