I got to play all day UNDISTURBED in my sewing room and was like a kid in a candy store..I did my first ith zipper project..super easy..it was a freebie from embroidery garden it is the ladybug zipper pouch. I used the fsl ladybug alpha that yoriko had on her site and attached it to the pouch..the dogbone applique that my cute family directed me to is exactly what I wanted for the doggy doll quilt..also the patchwork trapunto doll quilt and some wash mitts, a cute tooth pocket holder (which I later increased in size)and made another, (not pictured here as my daughter grabbed it last night for her daughter..lol and some doll bibs..I had a wonderful and relaxing day..

Beautiful work and lucky you: UNDISTURBED, I like that word, I haven't used it for a long time !!

the designs are called trapunto and are very simple to do..they just require a piece of batting between the fabric and stabilizer..that's it..I stitched these on fleece and used the embroidery basting stitch aroudn the embroidery design as a guideline when I joined all the pieces together..

everything looks beautiful great job

Looks very nice. You have been busy.Love the presents.

Looks like you had a very productive day in your sewing room! Everything looks great :)

Sweet!!! I love all the colors!*

yes there is..I use to make bags for wheelchairs and give them to a school for the handicapped..book markers to our library..and so on..book bags for the young children in goverment funded preschools..that's what I do with alot of the free embroidery designs..

How wonderful for you. I do like the sense of accomplishment I feel when I hold a project in my hands. Like the trapunto square quilt. Hmmm, if I ever get some free time, I hope I remember it.

believe it or not..I do not quilt at all..just made a bunch of blocks with trapunto designs and sewed them together..after all it is just for a doll baby for my grandaughter..Yes the bibs and quilt are done in fleece

WOW !!! you have been busy - love all the items especially the quilt - what designs are on it & what are they called its lovely x

The designs look GREAT on the fleece!

You've done a lot in one day!! It all looks so colourful! I love the trapunto, looks luxurious and expensive! Is that fleece you stitched on. The doll's bibs are so cute. Great work!
