This is a tote bag I made for my son's friend. It is a fat quarter bag and I added the pocket with her name on it. Yes, I know the pocket is off center, but it was stitched on with a decorative stitch that would have taken a lot of time to remove, so I
Here is one of the dragons I have embroidered. I can only show one of the 15, since the other files are too large. They are approximately 6x8.
I wanted to wish all a Happy New Year. You have all been supportive of me when I needed it. Personally, I am hoping for a better year in 2014, since not only did I lose my husband, but my brother's wife passed away on Christmas Eve. Needless to say, i
I made this for my girlfriend who is a member of her local red hatters. The design is from Stitch-a-Half. I added a narrow purple ribbon through the eyelets right after I took this picture.
My sister and I are going to a huge quilter's stash (4 rooms!) sale today. 3,000+ bolts of fabric, plus tons of cut squares, etc., and loads of supplies and notions. I can't wait!! Maureen
Here is what I have been working on lately. It's a crocheted cat bed, about 16" in diameter. So far, I have made over 30, a lot of them done while my husband was in the hospital. It was a good way to use up all the yarns that I only had a skein or tw
I was really excited to find that I have a robin's nest in one of my cherry trees. Another sign of renewal in spring. No eggs yet, but I will keep checking. Maureen
I have decided that my New Year's resolution is to try to stop saying I will do something about exercise and just go ahead and do it. To this end, I have decided to take a yoga for seniors class taught by a 70-yr. old! Never having done any yoga before
We got 3" of snow here in Idaho yesterday, our first accumulation of the season. It probably won't last for Christmas, though.
When I let my dog out earlier, she raced from the door to the fence, chasing a new fledgling robin. When I called her, she immediately came back (isn't it nice when they listen?). What was the best part was when the indignant daddy robin chased her alm
We not only have about 7" of snow on the ground here in north Idaho, but have a temperature of 1 degree with a wind chill that makes it feel like -19! And he high tomorrow is supposed to be 12. Brr!
Has anyone ordered from Stitch a Half lately? I can't seem to download the designs I purchased. I submitted a ticket on 5/19 and sent an e-mail yesterday. I haven't received an answer to either one. It's frustrating since I already paid for them an
Does anyone know where I can find a white peony design for a chair seat? The fabric is 14"x14" and the desired size for the embroidery is 8"x8". I've looked and can only find pink and so far, none of them are big enough. I expect it would have to
A while back I put a note here that told of the crocheted beds I made for the local Humane Society. My niece works there, and let me know that both the workers AND the cats love them. I guess I will continue to make more. Thanks. Maureen
Just tried to get the daily free design from Embroidery Home and my Kaspersky denied the link, saying there was malware attached. Did anyone else have a problem? Maureen
