Little Heart Pillow

I haven't done any embroidery because I am in Phoenix, Arizona with my friend Jane. She bought a brother combo with 4*4 hoop 5 years ago and never used the embroidery.

I encouraged her to take out the machine and we went to Joann to get some tear-away stabilizer, one spool of white embroidery thread and 1 pack of embroidery needles. And here it is, a pillow for my daughter Lily made by Jane! How lovely!

Unfortunately, her machine doesn't have USB connectivity, which means she can only use the limited designs that came with the machine or purchase expensive embroidery cards (which she never will do). She has to miss out on so many wonderful designs that can be downloaded!

I did manage to make a little coaster with her by using the frame function on the machine. We chose a butterfly design for the center.

We still need to work on the tension of her machine because it doesn't look quite right yet. The important thing is, we've got a new embroiderer!

Jane is very excited. She made a pillow for her daughter Sophie and then one for my Lily.
