I've been improving on some of the designs I digitised when I first started. The grandparents of these two were in DBC! I think the method of construction is now much easier than in the originals. Both of these designs are now available from Engineere
UPDATE. I know a lot of you have been wondering what has been happening to my designs in recent months. First, I decided to "retire" so as not to have any income tax forms to fill in. That means there will be no more of my designs on Yoriko's sites. Ho
Crazy patchwork placemats and coasters. I had a pack of six Christmas fat quarters so I decided to make placemats by the "stack and whack" method. I quite like how they turned out, but I need a matching runner now for the middle of the table! (And a muc
Big Bertha is back in the building! Thank you all for your commiserations when my machine threw a wobbler on Thursday. This really shows the benefits of buying from a dealer and making friends with them! I had a call at 9am this morning to say she was

Evening bag, fully lined with no raw edges inside. Made in the hoop (2 hoopings). The design on the flap is built into my machine and the bag design is my own. Must look at the built in designs more often!
When I bought my first embroidery machine, I bought a lot of very cheap threads from Ebay. At last I have found a use for some of them! The tape measure has Chinese measurements so I haven't found that very useful either!
Bag made in the hoop and decorated with a lovely design from Urban Threads. It has a magnetic fastener. I wish I had put the liming in the flap the other way up, but I didn't think it through. I hope the crease in the imitation leather disappears w
This quilt will hang on my kitchen wall when December arrives. The lovely redwork designs are from Kreative Kiwi, the pieced ith block is mine and Heather at KK gave me permission to adapt one of her designs for my label. The whole thing is just about one
A variety of cushions - designs by Urban Threads and Embroidery Library. The tweedy looking one is a wool mixture upholstery fabric but the others are all cotton fabrics.
