Members PaulineSul Posted July 5, 2023 Members Report Posted July 5, 2023 Hello, I have come across some amazing patchwork leather sewn by Dad, he really did have a talent, little did I understand it until I started looking through his treasure trove. Would love to see them be made into an item for someone to use. Looking to sell the leather, pictures attached. I am uk based but can ship. Measurements as follows: Brown Diamond x 2 - 22" x 34" Brown square - 39" x 19" Grey Square 19" x 20" Green square/diamond 35" x 18" Red Diamond pattern 20" x 19" Red Star 15" x 12" All are on a black backing as shown in image one. Open to offer and happy to send more images or answer questions.
Members Dwight Posted July 5, 2023 Members Report Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) That is some beautiful work . . . time consuming as well . . . I sat here and looked at the red / black / white diamond pattern and said to myself I'd love to have that . . . but I have no idea what in the world I would do with it. Hope you find folks who can take the second step . . . May God bless, Dwight Edited July 5, 2023 by Dwight If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

Members PaulineSul Posted July 5, 2023 Author Members Report Posted July 5, 2023 Ah thank you, Dad really did have a talent, he made shoes, purses, belts, dog collar, well just about anything. Hoping I can find a good home for it all as I'm no leather worker lol and want to re-house it so it gets used I have racks of leather so if you ever need anything let me know and I will look for you May God bless you too Pauline

Members PaulineSul Posted July 6, 2023 Author Members Report Posted July 6, 2023 Thank you for tagging me. I am a novice with the leather industry so will need to look at what prices these types of things sell for. Dad left me a huge task and a lot of stock, but not the knowledge to go with it lol
Members JayEhl Posted July 6, 2023 Members Report Posted July 6, 2023 My wife does quilt work and so I can appreciate the work. I guess it would make for an impressive wall hanging for someone.
Members PaulineSul Posted July 6, 2023 Author Members Report Posted July 6, 2023 Thank you, Dad must have invested time in making it, I am guessing he was thinking about making bags or purses but a wall hanging is also a great idea
Members JayEhl Posted July 6, 2023 Members Report Posted July 6, 2023 Heck if you can get someone to sew on a backing it would make a heavy quilt, or bed covering like my folks used to have. Truly, never seen anything like it before but I'm still very much an amateur.
Members PaulineSul Posted July 6, 2023 Author Members Report Posted July 6, 2023 It has a backing material buy adding it to a heavy material might work. I have about 15 sewing machines, if I knew how to work them I could attempt a project lol
Members JayEhl Posted July 7, 2023 Members Report Posted July 7, 2023 Well, you found the right place if you want to learn! :D
