Civil War Meditative Scroll Finished

   I finished up my scroll this morning. I am very happy with it.

    I had some strips of the reproduction fabrics left over that were used in the scroll, so I used it for now to tie. I may stitch up the sides at one point.

  I had purchased two of these awesome vintage bobbins on Etsy when I was setting up my scrolls to stitch.

I will come back with better photos-you know my camera is pretty awful I will share more photos soon-once I figure out the lighting

   You  may also remember the gifted bird that my friend surprised me with-I love it! I think it is perfect for this scroll too as I think it fits the time period-civil war era 1800's

I really enjoyed slow stitching his project very much-and my America 250 scroll is ready to stitch next. Found it very relaxing-which I need these days (taking care of husband)

  I moved my scroll to another location in the living room so I can enjoy seeing it. I changed up the ties for this too, which I like better.  I tore a few strips so not as wide and then put several strips together, tied a knot on each end to hold the strips together. Loosely tied on the scroll to keep in place. 

    I am in love with the vintage textile bobbins I found to use for this project. These were a special find-I ended up buying a second one for the next scroll. I have a few wooden sewing thread bobbins ready to work out a design for as well.

 I also wanted to share the fiber artist that has inspired me-I think I have shared her videos in the past.
