A bit of blatant self promotion. (With Veronika's permission) I have set up a shop on Folksy to offer a few of my designs - including the Monkey born out of a partnership with Susan (Rsehorse). I will continue to post simple designs in DBC. The ones o
Does anyone have any tips for me for digitising for the Janome macro hoop? If I select that as the hoop in Embird Studio, the finished product always "exceeds embroidery area". I've only had any success by saving the two parts of the design separately
Can we spare a thought today for all those members of the Cute Family who are battling serious illness? Please remember that many do not like to share their problems in this public forum. Secret Santa is good at keeping secrets!
Well everyone it is now the shortest day of the year - the day the Secret Santa Gifts were timed to arrive. Now I did ask everyone to post a picture of the gift they received "in a thread I would start after 21st December". As some people took that as t
My version of the ribbon wreath. I'm sorry the picture is a bit out of focus but you get the idea! I took a circle of mounting board (approx 20cm) and cut the middle out leaving a 3cm ring. I wound the gift ribbon around a book to give me 20cm lengths
