Hello Cuties, I thought I'd show you what I made today before I go to bed. First, some mugs rugs, for trip gifts. I just love the orange, but since I used most of it on luggage tags I was only able to do one, in the orange. Four of the yellow are like the orange palm tree rug and just one, of the Fl sunshine one.

Before anyone ask, the palm tree was free in January 2014 and it has CB in front of the numbers. It had a smiling sun and I skipped those color changes. Would anyone know who CB is? It sure stitches nicely, just wish I knew the site or digitizer.
I also thought about one of the gifts that I received, from my last trip, from Cutie kathymourie. She gave me this cute little denim Ouch Pouch and correct me if I am wrong Kathy, it is from omasplace! Thank you again Kathy! So not having the same design, I compromised and made an ITH bag and used a bandage design I downloaded in August 2013.
A Cutie posted the other day that she had down loaded thousands of free designs and was combing through deleting old, not so well digitized, and just cleaning up her files, so to speak. I thought I need to do the same, because I am finding things I haven't looked at in years. I can be a bit more picky now, but I'm glad I saved these freebies!

Toogie you put me to shame. You stitched all this before you go to bed? I do not seem to be able to get going lately. You did well with your gifts,

Great work Toogie, I love all of them. I haven't done any sewing, it's been too darn hot and we've been so busy since coming back from Europe. By the way, I love the Ouch pouch in the 3rd picture. I have no idea who CB is, was she one of our Cuties from way back, or a machine embroidery company name? Good luck I hope someone on here knows who she or he is. Love Chris

I don't think CB is a Cutie. I used to go on Secrets of Embroidery, but then I went to a lot of places, so I just don't know....
Kathy said the Ouch Pouch you like is from Omas.
Thanks and I wish I could give you some of this cold weather we're havin

Thanks Nan, I TRY to make 2 for each one. Some are small and very quick , like cord wraps, lip stick holders, keyfobs, and then a larger gift or two. We have 39 going this time. I think it was 45 to Maine and maybe 42 for Virginia Beach, so not quiet as many this time.

Thanks Kathy for setting me straight about where the Ouch Pouch came from. I guess I need to edit the top now. I bet you're cold up your way because its colder here than usual. Try to stay warm and at the machine! You gotta do those kits you bought on your cruise and show us.

It does doesn't it. Karen said palm trees, flamingos, and gators for Florida! She ought to know. I just love the orange and wish I hadn't made so many luggage tags with it. It made such a nice background for this mug rug.

The "ouch pouch" made me laugh! Should keep one in my sewing room. That is a fabulous orange fabric. I downloaded the palm tree in 2015... but that was before I learned to keep better records.

So you have this design too. I wish I knew where it was from. I just love to watch the top of the tree stitch out, with the feather stitching stitches.

great pieces as usual. I haven't heard the First Aid container called an Ouch Pouch and I love it.

I thought it was so cutely named, when Kathy gave me mine, on my trip to Virginia Beach. Great to have a few bandaids, antibiotic ointment, etc which she included in the gift.

Great job Toogie... love all the designs and love the ouch pouch also... I think I'll make one of these also... my Mom was recently having to stay 4 hours away from her home with her sister at the hospital and while there needed several things like bandaids, antibiotic ointment, lotion, etc... so this would have come in handy... I told her that I needed to make her a bag to keep in her car for this kind of emergency and that way she would always have one in her car.... this is the perfect thing..... Thanks for always giving us wonderful ideas. Keep you the good work. I'm sure you will get them all done. :)
