Ok, the chipmunk from that series. My friend has been dealing with ovarian cancer going on 9 years now. I need to clip the jump stitches in the ribbon.
I've been working on some aprons for upcoming shows. The pig is from Julia's Desgins, the Christmas ones are from Artistic Designs. I used some gold metallic and silver threads that really made the designs stand out. The aprons are much blacker than the
I have been making mug rugs in the hoop. I use washaway stabilizer. I was not washing the rug when done and gave one to a friend. When she a water bottle on it and it got wet, the stabilizer apparently got wet too, and wicked into the fabric. So when it d
Finally, last night I got some sleep. My husband spent last week in the hospital. He's 92 and has very thin skin and is prone to get infections on his shins. He bumps the and it tears the skin. Someone now comes to the house every day for IV and wound ca
Last week was the conference for Gynecological Cancer Survivors that I'm a vendor for. I make a wine basket for their raffle and donate all the money I take in. I just do mug rugs. Interestingly, the Latte one was popular, but not the Fridge one.
My husband had been in hospice for the past 4 months. He passed quietly at home last week. Needless to say, I am heart broken. I think there are some things in life that one just has to live through in spite of how horrible it is. Knowing that does not ma
I admit I am in the doldrums with staying home and social distancing. I haven't sewn anything since February! I just don't "feel like it." So, I decided that since quilting is my favorite sewing activiy, I'd buy fabric on line to start a quilt. Fabri
Made my first stuffie today. The hardest thing was turning it inside out. I've been wanting to do this every since someone here posted about giving them to police/fire for a scared child.Since I'm planning to make a bunch of them, I'll really need to h
I'm still on the search for just the right gift topper. Found these snowflakes that actually have little button holes to put ribbon through. I think a few rhinestones and maybe something special tied in the center would finish this snowflake. I'm trying
I euthanized my little corgi, Gummybear, this week. I'm still quite teary about it. She had a lot of health issues and was 13. She had become aggressive with the other dogs so I knew that she was in more pain. She had been getting monthly acupuncture tre
This is a set of napkins that I donated as a door prize. I love this design and had to use it on something.I might make a set for myself! It's an Embroidery Library design.
I decided to try out my new 9.5x9.5 frame that came with my Babylock. I have to admit that I was pretty astounded at the huge amount of stabilizer it required. I decided that I'd need to search to see if there is a chart somewhere that tells the size of
I just need to whine... The insides of one of my toliets needed repair. It was 6 years old. Come to find out that they don't make parts to repair this model any more. So, I had to buy a whole new toliet. Don't know if this is true nationwide, but
I always have trouble choosing the right color thread for peoples' skin. Either the color I use is too dark, too light, or not even near any skin color I've ever seen! I'd appreciate knowing what brand/color thread you use for this.
It was cold and rainy outside so I decided to do a sweatshirt. Reminds me of the snowy woods and how the snow would sparkle where I grew up.
