Weekend Artist…Vintage Chenille
October 10, 2008
Leah applied for a LolliShop last week and when I visited her shop, my eyes got very wide and I got very excited!
Leah is an artist whose medium is vintage chenille! Doesn’t that sound lovely? Oh, I assure you it is…
I asked Leah if I could feature her this weekend–I was seriously *proud* of this woman’s talents! (as if it had anything to do with me…)
She agreed and so I’d like to introduce you to Leah of Vintage Chenille…
I have always loved to create, especially scrap booking, cross stitch and patchwork. I have recently had baby No. 4 a girl!!! (after 3 boys) and that was the only excuse/inspiration I needed to get out that sewing machine and create
+++ I love collecting old buttons and buckles, ribbons, ric rac, lace, crochet flowers and of course vintage chenille. I have so many ideas and plans for the future of my small but expanding new business. I’m thrilled and very excited about the journey I am about to begin with LolliShops! ~Leah
You can get to know more about Leah and her creative side on her blog, so sweetly named, Handmade Bits & Pieces

that little dog makes we want to take a cuddly nap!
I shudder when I think of all the time spent pulling the tiny pieces of chenille from my bedspread just to pass the time….I know!! but I thought it was “fun” to pull them out and blow them at my sister.
dumb kids!! *-*

Leah, Ditto on loving chenille. I found a house coat at a garage sale and used part of it to make my grandson a baby quilt. Arlene
