Designs & Projects

Well, the Gingerbread designs have been released for sale and they are on an introductory price offer through March 31. They are getting noticed by a lot of folks that want them embroidered onto their own linens and things too, which is wonderful!

I'm in the process of creating another fun project with the Gingerbread designs, but I'm holding off saying what it is until it's done. Let's just say it's going to be adorable.

In the meantime, I'm busy digitizing my next set and as soon as the designs are well in progress, I'll post some images here. They will be quick stitchers and fun.

For those who are interested in how my Fairyland quilt is coming along, I meant to upload the next block a couple of weeks ago. I was just so busy getting the Ginger designs ready :) Even though this block is part of Block 1, it's the second of 8 blocks. I think it turned out really cute and I'm loving these fabrics.



I'll be finishing up block 2 this week and will upload a photo as soon as I get it off the digital camera :)

Have a great week and enjoy the beginnings of Spring!

Gingerbread Designs

Hi!

What a busy week this has been. The Gingerbread designs are nearly ready to release. I'm just waiting for any additional editing notes from my testers, and after the tweaking is done, they'll be ready.

I added another project photo to the page with the designs, but thought I'd upload it here. I found the nicest woven towels with the cutest woven border, that I knew they would be perfect for a set of Gingerbread towels. The new towel set is available at the link above.



Let me know what you think!

The Gingerbread Redwork designs are also being tested right now and they should be ready for unveiling within the next week or so, complete with a project photo or two.

Until later, have a wonderful rest of your week.

Adorable embroidery projects

Greetings everyone!

Well, a hint of Spring is in the air. That will certainly be a welcome sign for all of us who've been buried under snow since December. We're itching to get out into the garden, but that may have to wait for a while yet.

In the meantime, I thought I'd share some adorable projects my testers (and friends) have been creating with the new Gingerbread designs. They are almost ready to release for sale.

Shirley embroidered two different gingerbreads on her can opener cover and I think they look so cute!















And Joanne created this wonderful gift bag, complete with towels and a cookie cutter. What a fun project to give as a gift to anyone who loves to bake! I especially like the cute gingerbread fabric she used for the bag.


I have a couple of projects in mind myself and hope to be able to work on those this week. And of course, I'll post pictures so you can be inspired by all these ideas.

In the meantime, enjoy the sun and increasing warmer temps!
