Needed something for Christmas presents, so I started digitising an alphabet yesterday; digitised A-N and tested the first 3. The rest will follow shortly. The letters are 60 mm (2.35") high. The alpha will be available shortly on one of Yoriko's
Anabela's soft toys. Anabela asked me to post a few projects as she is unable to upload the pictures. Picture 1 - Duckies for her granddaughters. Picture 2 and 3 - Owl sewing caddies. I think they are lovely.
Another mugrug. The trees are appliques, the rectangle is reverse applique. Size 5x7". There is a small opening that has to be sewn by hand.
Mugrug Much to my own surprise I liked the mugrugs. Decided to leave the autumn once and started on Christmas. Here's the first of three I made. Made some minor adjustments after this test, but it stitched out nicely. The back is a cotton p
Mugrugs -- Update I am a cup and saucer person and never made mugrugs before. But the beautiful autumn colours were quite inspiring. I made the one on the left first. I digitised the design that fits the 5x7 hoop and I made a miniquilt with i
What do you do when your granddaughter has her first wobbly tooth - indeed, digitise something to send to my daughter for her to sew out. I digitised an FSL tooth 2 years ago and thought I could use the outline to make an ITH design. Had to change it how
Towel. While visiting my daughter in Norway I digitised this logo - made by her boss. But as it was a present / gift for him she did not want to ask permission to digitise beforehand; but he was over the moon with it and not only granted permission bu
After all the key fobs I've seen I could not stay behind :) I need to lengthen the tab by 1/2 " or so. It would be nice for the church fair, I think. Well that's the creative part done, now comes the tedious part: having my machine stitch a respecta
My sewing/craft room cum study slowly but surely filled up with bags and boxes holding knitting yarn, fabric, scraps, shirts to be recycled, paperwork to such an extend I could hardly move or reach a cupboard. Not any more. Yesterday and today I cleared o
had to do a bib for my neighbour - always the same design of a rabbit/hare as that's part of her surname - so I made a few for myself as well for an ongoing charity project.
Doily in the making. After a rather unproductive period as far as embroidery is concerned I finally tested this cross stitch design. It's 20x20 cm but I made other arrangements as well. I used variegated thread for the leaves; the light part is ver
Carolyn loves cross stitch. I had an off-day and to cheer me up had a go at a carnation border for a 8x14"or 200x360 hoop. I have yet to try it out but here's a picture from the software programme.
Doily Honeysuckle It was some six months ago I digitised the last doilies and as I wanted to do something cheerful I had a go yesterday. I am not so sure about the leaves, they are a bit large in comparison. The sun was quite bright, even indoors w
You may remember I made 29 cards for my daughter back in February when she came to see us. Today is the birthday party and as I could not come and visit my daughter sent me this picture of one of the cakes she made using the same design. Looks yummy, does
Carolyn's nice project had me having a go at digitising some cross stitch designs. As our planned trip to Norway was cancelled due to my hubby having some health problems my diary was empty and I had time on my hands. Have yet to stitch them, need to
