I've moved on to looking for elf shirts for the Elf on the Shelf. I've found a few, but I don't want to pay $5 for one little design. Is there a good site to purchase from that is less expensive?

As I was babysitting my machine today, I had the germ of an idea--almost every bit of advice about machine embroidery can be used for our spiritual life. So here's my bit of advice for myself--don't forget the fundamentals. For me, that means my quie

I just wanted to share the updated banner I was able to complete with Kim's (dragonflyer) rescue. The one I did is on the far left side of the photo. I'm so glad it fit in more with the others. Our program went very well, and one little boy professed
