This morning a friend shared a quote from one of my daughter's favorite authors. I thought it was particularly fitting. :) Every day needs a smile. Here is yours! I made myself a snowball, As perfect as could be. I thought I'd keep it as
I have been gifted several boxes of mystery fabric for a project that I've been working on, long term. One of those fabrics is relatively heavy weight (like denim or slightly thicker) and textured with flowers. I wonder if anyone can identify what this
I'm puzzled and would love your input! I'm working on a project for a fund raiser. I was given a bolt of very densely woven canvas. First thing I did was cut up the whole bolt for reusable grocery bags. My plan was to put an embroidery design on e
What would you say is the BEST gift you have ever made? For any reason? It doesn't have to be the one you worked the hardest on, but the one you felt best about. For me, I made all of my nieces matching nightgowns out of pretty long underwear type f

I have a question about splitting a design so that it can be stitched in parts. I've run across lots of very large designs that I would love to stitch, but only have the 180x300mm hoop. Do I need a program to divide the design, and if so, what kind of
HELP! Perhaps someone out there in Embroidery Land can give me a suggestion. I've been going crazy with all of the stress at home, so I got a sitter for my husband (he has Alzheimer's), put my mother-in-law's estate work aside, paid all of my bills

Has anyone seen a stick figure design of father and daughter? I'm looking for a real generic one. I'm doing a birthday wall hanging for the son of a good friend. His young daughter is his life, and I want to include her in his birthday. If I had digit
Was I dreaming, or was there an applique pocket that was a freebie somewhere recently? It was rather wonky instead of the straight sided pockets, and I thought it would be perfect for quilt blocks with button flowers. Does anyone happen to remember wh
Does anyone know if Sewgirl.com is a legitimate site? I got an email addressing me by first and last name, stating that I had signed up Dec. 6th, and they were changing their name to InspirePoint.com. I've never heard of either one of these sites and k
