I'm sorry to be posting too much, but this is time-sensitive. My daughter and I are wish granters for the Make a Wish foundation, and we have a wish party tonight for a little boy who's family doesn't speak English, only Spanish. So how do you say
A Make a Wish update--our "wish kid" and his family are getting ready for their trip. He was overjoyed and kept saying "I like it, I love it!" He is six years old and one of the happiest little boys I've ever met. In the picture below, here he is
I have posted on here about my machine shredding thread and driving me crazy. So I took it back today, and they had me thread it and try a design there, and it worked perfectly! Brought it home and it is doing a great job. How silly do I feel! And I s
I lost a friend last evening. It hurts. I knew it was coming, but it was too soon. I know I will see my friend again someday. I also know that this hurt I feel will ease in time. It makes me more thankful for all the people in my life, so a big thank

Please let me hear your thoughts on this--I bought an issue of an embroidery magazine, thinking that as usual, I would learn quite a bit. But this time, I am more frustrated than educated. Several of the articles references things that I don't have a c
my very first in the hoop project--a cosmetic case--design from moosebstitchin. The best part? The time it took from selecting the fabric, pressing it, cutting and then sewing--less than one hour! Supposed to have vinyl on front, but I like my stuff hi
Since I've been retired, I worry about our budget constantly, and keep thinking I should make my embroidery more of a business. So I had joined several embroidery facebook groups, thinking I would learn new techniques and styles. All it did was stress
I'm looking for a mug rug design that isn't rectangular or round, can be done without wording, and is done ith. Does anyone know of a site that has designs like this? I don't want to spend a lot, but it's time for me to start those quick Christmas g
