Cheese cloth top (as we are having a heatwave!) I digitised a simple neckline and added the designs from Urban Threads. This went in the middle of a rectangle of fabric. My design added a facing. Then I hemmed the sides (4mm rolled hem foot) and the botto
"Chaos Theory" - when I began making this, I wanted it to be ugly! I chose genuine scraps which were no use for anything else and didn't go together. (It was paper pieced on scrap paper and I used up random thread left on bobbins.)<br /><br /><br /><br
This quilt was hand stitched with contributions from 30 or so people. The fabric was 3 FQ packs from Aldi. plus quite a lot of Ditte from Ikea. I assembled it, backed it with fleece and quilted it using my embroidery machine and a hexagonal flower design
I've been away from home for a few weeks so when I had time after doing all of the washing, I had to try some ideas I'd had while I was away. The necklines on these two tops were made in the hoop (including adding the facing.) I've shown a close up of
Edited to show both sizes. This was another idea I was brewing while I was away. The design is now in Engineered in Stitches. 160 x 260 and 200 x 300.<br /><br /> All made ITH except for a small gap to hand stitch. Extra inspiration came from the fa
I was challenged to make this by a good friend i have never met (yes, another Cutie!) I'm not even sure what to call it.<br /><br /> Any way, it was made entirely in the hoop with the exception of one seam in the lining and the final closure on the pi
Anyone up for some colouring in? The artwork for these new art deco style designs was supplied by my lovely friend Lynda Martin. The plaques have a CD inside, but the design could also be used as an applique. My J-club ladies are going to make these at ou
Following quite a few requests, I have revised my cat and dog ITH purse designs. They are now available from Engineered in Stitches for 130mm x 180mm and 160mm x 260mm hoops. There is an option to have a concealed zip or an exposed one.
A quick tote bag with 3D flower applique (made to avoid wasting the flowers I made to test the design!) The flowers are denim with a print fabric back so could also be used on stems, layered up.
A5 notebook cover - stipple quilted and fully lined so that it can even be reversible!
I was challenged to make a dolls house quilt with hexagons "in the hoop" of an embroidery machine. This is my first. It measures 10cm by 12cm and the hexagons are coloured with Inktense pencils. The major problem with dolls house quilts is that they
Second attempt at an ITH quilt for a dolls house. This time I've stitched thin wire into the edges so it looks "draped". I've also included pictures of the bedroom curtains , some 12th scale knitting and a rag rug.
More 12th scale fun.
I'm supposed to be reorganising my sewing room but I just couldn't not sew! These are my attempts at colouring in with Inktense pencils. Rose is the current free design at UT and the scissors were from EL. I have no idea what I will do with them!
I had heard so many good things about Sweet Pea designs that I decided to join the mystery quilt project. I bought the first design last month and tried it. I added extra stitch lines of my own so that it could be made ITH. Although there were a few
