MY SOLE 2010 SEWN GIFT

It's good to see it was appreciated! I didn't get a label made yet but that will be the embroidery effort. Good thing this was super simple because there was no time to focus on anything that required anything more! I have high hopes for 2011 Christmas.
My sister is improving and Drs now say tomorrow she will be moved to a private room.That was the best Christmas gift we could have hoped for.

LET IT DOUGH!!

Check out the rest of this artwork here. .

IT'S THE 20TH OF THE MONTH!!

You know that is time for a new Raggedy block from Kaaren. She's settling in from their move to Nova Scotia. The link is posted on the side of my blog so you can download this block and any others you might have missed. It's been a very fun project. I've started quilting this by doing it a block at a time using my embroidery machine. I'll get a picture posted soon to give you an idea of how I'm doing this.

HELLO REINDEER!!


Margo has used the applique pattern from the December/January 2011 issue of McCall's Quick Quilts magazine to digitize the embroidery version of these quilt blocks. She is using minkee fabrics for her reindeer fabrics. She even did one with a red nose for the Rudolph block. The issue is still out and available because I saw it at Borders bookstore yesterday. This would be a good way to use up your scraps of Christmas fabrics and stitch a reindeer to each block. The blocks make up to 6 x 9 inches.
Great job Margo.:)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wow, it's nearly here and I will admit that I am not ready. Oh well, at least there a few days until then.
Look at this darling little caroler doll. The instructions are found here.
I think the face would be perfect for a quick embroidery project and stitching around the face to the body fabric.A great project to start working on after Christmas and have a good number ready for next year! These are so cute!

Chenille Flowers

Aren't these the cutest chenille flowers? Remember as kids we called them pipe cleaners? Anyway, instructions are found here and include a video for you to watch.
