I've had this in the back of mind to try for a few days, but I've been a bit busy with other things. ;) I wanted to put the current UT freebie on a tea towel, but I didn't have any plain ones suitable. So, I embroidered the design onto white cotton
I showed this quilt top in sewing a few days ago, but it is now promoted to projects as it has been quilted in the hoop of my embroidery machine. This was the first time the quilting hoop had been out of its packaging but I think it will see more use now!
I wish I had used nicer fabric to test these designs, but I didn't want to waste the stitchouts.
Update - I've added a coaster! There are lots of teacher gifts around at the moment. In 35 years at the chalk face teaching secondary science I never received a personal gift so I've made this one for myself! The design is from The Chemistry Set now

Ready for my birthday (coming shortly!) This design is by Sue Lough here in England.
A gift for a yoga loving friend. The basic ITH A6 notebook cover is my own (available from Engineered in Stitches), but I added the yoga dog from Embroidery Library. The outer cover is made from linen ( recycled trousers) and the flaps and lining were fro
Saturday April 15th is Yellow Duck Day - so I've done a couple of hoops worth ready.
Another one for the dementia menagerie. For anyone who fancies making one - he has a little bell in one ear, rattly cellophane under the tractor fabric and cotton reels in the sock toe. The washers and nut are threaded on shoelace which is securely stitch
A sewing themed fiddle bunny. This was fun! I hope someone is kind enough to make me one if I ever need it.
ITH bag - made in four panels basically using my own modular tote design. The zipped pocket panel includes EPP hexagons I made from ice dyed fabric my daughter gave me. The pocketless panel is made from the tiny left over scraps under a layer of net. The
