What project is everyone working on? I finished 4 towels this morning & now I'm working n the FREEBIE FSL flower and ladybug. I'm making them for fridge magnets. Also making FSL butterflies.

I'm giving my machine a break and using the time to experiment with my 4D software cos I'd like to do a photostitch design but its taking a while. my 'projects to do' list is too long but on top of it is finishing a doublebed quilt I started some months ago..... my first quilt and to be honest its driving me nuts!!!! *s for all

Let us know how the photostitch works out. I find them pretty dark when I try it.

thats also been my problem so far mops :(

Sanded down the woodwork on my boat and gave it one layer of varnish. Discovered the outboard had been stolen, cable snipped and battery dead as it shorted. Even a second hand one is more expensive than insurance money (if any). Drove there and back. Now catching up here and getting cheered up.

I'm actually making equipment covers for my dh's organs and amplifiers so they won't get dinged up when moving for concerts and etc. Adding his name and some musical symbols all over. Doesn't look to bad if I say so myself.

I have actually gotten a couple of things done. I tried an embossed alphabet letter, a couple of bookmarks and an ensumble for a neighbor that got our mail and papers while on vacation. I used the 4th of July theme. Made a t-shirt with stars, a hand towel and my very first try at doing a design on toilet paper!!! Hope to take pictures soon and post.

Filling an order for bibs and hooded bath towels. . .after taking my dad to the doctor.
You probably have already discussed this. . . .but have the colors switched (when you give a flower??) or am I losing it?!

ctyanke4, welcome to the 'CUTE' family - you are lucky - much earlier some of us were having lots of trouble - but it isn't too bad, now. Hehehe! Can't wait to see some of your projects posted. *4U

Cleaning out my fridge... :-(

I have begin a round tablecloth with owls embroidered that I have found on hatchedonafrica.But, for the moment, with my 2 grandson, i have so little time quiet, and i do not finished this work.

Projects Mickey is a big word, I been so busy trying to figure out how to work the new bells and whistles here - that all I have done is take grand children too and from places and this all day. Hehehe! I posted a couple projects earlier - take a LQQK! *4U

I haven't done anything today Mickey but go to town & the bank & that takes a while, then I get out of the mood to do anything by the time I get back. I did do some flowers 4 the cemetery & burnt the heck out of my fingers with hotglue. Been using it every since it's been out, first time to get burned bad.
I try to keep flowers on deceased husbands grave all the time.

flowers for all you industrious cuties Jo

I'm making inserts for greetings cards at the moment

My baby (embroidery machine) has a terrible sqeek and must go to doctor. so will be working on quilts those ufos I have.

My new project is a curling iron bag. When I finish I'll be sure and TRY to post a picture. I did say TRY. You all know what problems I've been having lately with pics.

I stitched out the applique lambs, just out of curiosity. They stitch out beautifully, like all Cute designs. They end up in the bunch of stitch-outs, due to be sewn into a quilt. One of these days... I just made two totes and need to do a couple of bibs. Keeps me nicely indoors, although the garden is crying out for some TLC. :-)

I've just finished a caserole holder and pot-mits with native birds embroidered on them, along with some bookmarks as gifts. Now I must get on and finish my daughters poncho she has been (not so) patiently waiting for ;)

I am using a design I digitized for some of the quilting on a quilt I am finishing for Habitat for Humanity. It is a karate themed quilt and so I digitized the kanji for karate and am using that four times in each block. I'll post a picture when I am finished. It's not easy to machine embroider on a twin sized quilt! Any tips or hints?

Yes.Plenty of tacking and work on a large table so your quilt does not fall over the edge and drag down.But you already knew that, didn't you, Actually I have been playing around with an easy way to quilt each block separately before you join them together.E-mail me if you are interested and I will try to exlain it.

Who has time to actually embroider??? LOL! I'm still reformatting, sorting, cataloging designs, very SADD! LOL! hugs n roses, M

I am working on my Bags of fun ^6 blocks all different Each envelope had instructions to follow I have posted 2 so far
