CD recycled. Inspired by Sue's clocks and things I decided to make myself a mug mat. I used part of a snowflake name, and repeated it 8 times - took a while to get it jump free, but that's the challenge. It's clearer to see it is a variation on
Christmas decoration.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> I first made the redwork design, stitched on card stock and coloured it. I also made it in 3 colours - which meant I had to alter the stitching order.<br /><br /> Then I tried the latter out as a rou
Bag. In the stash my neighbour left me were a dozen or so log cabin blocks, the test squares she made for her quilts. All different sizes and colours; some 'paper'-pieced on old sheets, some stitches on batting. I chose 2 that had more or less th
Enjoying the Norwegian summer - a tropical garden in a country you associate with skiing, polar ice, etc.
Today I spent 10 hours on the ferry from Hirtshals in Denmark to Stavanger in Norway. Had my latop with me and digitised the current free cliart by Clipartopolis: Bluework Noah's Ark. Here they are. I intend to use them as a colouring book for my grandda
Towel. Present for grandniece. With about 800 colours in my collection you'd think I could find an exact match with the birth announcement card. But it is better in real life than it looks in the picture.
Simple "red"work design on cardstock. I don't know yet whether to use it as a birthday card or a New Year's wish.
FSL decoration I digitised for Anabela. I let it dry over a ball to shape it a bit.
Bib - My daughter asked me to make a bib to go with a dinner set she bought. The picture shows the plate.
ITH BIB. Inspired by hightechgrammy's bib I digitised this one. The front is cotton, the back towelling. It's stitched almost entirely in the hoop leaving a small opening for turning.
Bibs I just had to try the 'bapron' pattern. They are lined with the printed flannel you see in the background. I digitised a small boat similar to the ones on the fabric and copied it 3 times. Made a second bib and enlarged the boat pattern. I p
Bib My daughter asked my to digitise the logo of the Dutch Club in Stavanger. I did a test on a white bib, but they preferred orange. So here is #1.
3 towels and 1 blanket. Every year an acquaintance of mine is host to one or more children from the Chernobyl area. This year too she asked me to embroider a couple of gifts. The top left towel has Pluto - a design built in my Brother 190D. The
Small bathrobe. Made this for a customer. Had to digitise the name too as I did not have the correct font on my computer. I usually embroider on the left front, but my customer wanted the design on the right. Not such a bad idea, the design might b
Auto digitising vs manual digitising I read the question about manually punched. Being back home again I digitised one design by Clipartopolis 3 ways today to show the difference it can make in the end result. The first one is made in 5DExtr
