To Die For...
That is the topic for this week! I have a collection of pictures and items found that I could only categorize with those words!

Oh, very fashionable indeed!!! Do you sew? If you did you could make pads to match all your outfits. I made a dressage pad for Gilly's saddle once. It took quite some time to make because I quilted the whole thing. It did turn out nice though.
Oh! how elegant!
For those who cannot, do not or will not sew, here is a lady who makes lovely custom blankets and pads.

That is just awesome!
Is that lace? I love it!
Suitability has patterns for English saddle pads (H/J & dressage).
To get around the quilting issues, I've been buying Dover's light dressage pads on sale ($10) and embellishing them with embroidered tape and fringe. I have two nearly done. A third to enhance, and three more coming in the mail.
I've prowled the local fabric stores for equestrian-themed fabrics. Western images are easier to locate than English -- but we have managed to do well.
I'll definitely try lace on one of my future embellishments.
Sigh. (muttering to myself "I do NOT have time to embellish. I do NOT have time to embellish..I do Nooo...where did I pack my sewing machine?")
I get the most wonderful ideas from other horsewomen; thank you!!! :)
