August Embroidery Club

Hope everyone enjoyed July's Embroidery Club! Above is Patty Young's "Vivien". Isn't she spectacular? Didn't you love her story on how creative she was to find her bag of fabric to use as her applique fabric stash? The trims were the perfect finish.

Now, the project for August should be fun too! It's an all day class as we start the day with learning the monogram feature in V5 of the Bernina embroidery software. If you don't have the software you're still welcome to come and use one of the store computers. Then we'll break for lunch and then come back and construct our cute market bag. Once the bag is done we'll attach the monogram piece to the bag.

Supply List for August - REMEMBER due to my vacation our class will be August 16th

MARKET BAG
2/3 yd fabric for bag
1/3 yd fabric for handles(depends on how you want to hoop this)
1/8 or 1/3 fabric for monogram piece
embroidery thread for monogram
sewing thread for use in constructing the bag and handles - the handles will be topstitched.

1st Place Winner International Quilt Festival at Houston, 2007
Found this stunner at Zundt web site.
Now this would take some time to embroider all this out! The sashing is constructed from 2 sets of Zundt designs. I'm convinced she had to have used multiple machines to have stitched all these embroideries out. As beautiful as it is I think I would have lost interest if I had to use just one to sew all these designs.;) She did a beautiful job though.
The floral inner border is one of the sets used in the sashing. The outside border is a free standing lace design from Zundt. Then you need the beautiful block designs and those are from Embroidery Online. If you aren't familiar with Zundt they create wonderful Swiss embroideries. They are not inexpenisve but you'll not see a more exquisite piece of finished embroidery.
Here's the link to see all for this at Zundt web site:
