Today I stitched up the eye glass case (or whatever you want to put in it), that I got from bargain embroidery on their $1.00 sale recently. There are six designs in the set. I pinked the edges and I am hoping they will fray out as it is used, giving it a
Persistence pays off. I finally found that if I put a band of fabric on the edge of the towel I could cut down on the bulkiness enough to make this design work in my 5x7 hoop. I am quite pleased with the end result
I did a couple more towels today after a trip to Walmart for supplies. I wanted to be able to hang these from a knob so I left off the hanger and added a ribbon loop. What do you think of the tied ribbon instead of the embroidered one? Using dishcloths in
Is it still a towel topper if it is only a washcloth? The one done in the 5x7 hoop is too small to use anything bigger than a fingertip towel but I didn't have one on hand so I used a washcloth. I thought the hanger loop was disproportionate to the size
When I made my crazy quilt patch purse I did a test panel first to see how and where I wanted to place the colors. So not wanting to waste that panel I made it into this little pouch today and I now have a cute companion piece. It measures about 4x6.
I just love this little crazy quilt purse from Kreative Kiwi. It is done with 3 panels for each side and the panels are connected in the hoop. It comes in a 5x7 and 6x10 size, but I am limited to making the 5x7 size. Finished Size – 5X7 Hoop – Width 1
Well my purse with the pansies is done and I love it. But I will never make another one because it turned out to be much more work than I expected it to be. The second picture is the back with a large outside pocket. Inside there is a large pocket on one
Well I'm putting the cart before the horse by making the adornments before I make the purse but this is going to be my next purse. I might not get it done for awhile and I thought I would show you how the design looks with leaves added, I tried seve
Pansy Mug Rugs. I love this pattern and this is just the first set of many that I will be making for gifts. A special thanks to Gail for her help.
A short time ago bevintex posted pictures for a bag from kreative kiwi. Of course I had to have it too. Here is my interpretation of it. It can be made two ways. The first way is done entirely in the hoop and I think that it was the way Bev did hers, but
Here is my version of the flower bag. I skipped the buttonholes and handstitched the three layers together with the button. I attached the flower to the bag with two snaps so It doesn't twist around but is still removable.I love the flower but this is no
Saved from the wastebasket. I made this little bag some time ago but the butterfly design I used didn't turn out like I wanted it to so I kind of tossed it aside. Then I got this flower design with a bag I purchased from OPW and I decided to make the flo
I stitched out the new design from basketcase today on a MDSF t-shirt from a few years ago. It isn't perfect because my machine decided to act up and I had to re-do part of it. I followed the colors that my machine suggested except tor the last color whi
Last week I showed you the ladybug coin purse that I made without reading the instructions. Here it what it was really suppose to look like. First picture is both versions. The second time that I made it I increased the size a bit. It is from Nonnie Noo C
I had a few scraps left from the strawberry coin purses so I made this cute little bug. I don't remember where the design came from. If someone knows, please give credit to them. Oh, I just found the PDF for this design and I see that I didn't do it rig
