I mainly use old broochs as embellishments for my quilted bags. One of the floral pins in the vintage lot that just arrived works perfectly as a focal piece on my scrap strip bag.
The nicest part of using old brooches is that you only have to pin them in place, and they can also easily be removed.
I have been looking for a star brooch to top a quilted Christmas tree of mine for a while now. The vintage Avon brooch is a perfect match.
I spent a long time making this piece, which has holographic thread hand-quilting and hundreds of little faux pearls on it. Topping it with a lovely shimmering star made me very happy. :)
