We had our second J-club meeting today. Four ladies came, all of them new to machine embroidery. (One of them had had her machine for 9 months and it is still in the box!)
I had digitised two very simple ITH designs for them which seemed to go down very well. The bunny face is a little cartoon Mike has been doodling for as long as I have known him (almost 50 years!). I used it on an egg cosy first. Then I realised that the first ITH project I had tried was Mops bunny from DBC so I decided to give Mikes little face a body and some ridiculously large ears.
Thanks Martine for all that inspiration which you sent my way. I'm hoping I'm passing something similar on the the J-club ladies.

Oh, Sue, these are adorable! what a lucky group of ladies! Would love to be in your group! Any chance of the bunny showing up at Yoriko's site? (hint hint) LOL

I love them both. And I bet your fellow J-club members did too. You'll no doubt be expected to come up with new ideas for each meeting, and I am sure you won't disappoiint them.
I remembered that one of the first things my daughters sewed (after embroidering cards) were white bunny egg warmers; and bright yellow chicken ones with red beaks and a few curly bits as a tail. By hand and with rather irregular large stitches. Would they have loved the wonders of ME at the time.

You came up with a great project. It sounds like you have had a great start to this new venture. I have heard of lots of folks not taking their machines out of the box for months. It makes me sad to hear this but I bet she couldn't wait to get it out of the box when she got home.

Great work Sue. I hate to admit but I also kept my embroidery machine in it's box for a least a couple of weeks when I purchased it. I was terrified!!

Not nine months though!
My machine was taken out of the box by the people from whom it was bought, so I didn't have a chance to leave it in the box!!
Good luck with your class, I am sure they will appreciate all you teach them.
Edited: didn't see the comments below first! Knew I would be correct!! :-)

Good to hear your group is growing and stitching strong! I wish I could attend. There is a bit of awe in watching the machine the first hundred times or so!
