Now that I've decided on a theme, I'm searching for a pretty hummingbird design that would be good on pillowcases. I'd love to find a design with flowers and vines that would be nice and wide but not too tall. Any suggestions?

I'd like an opinion, please, for a Mother's day idea. My mom will be 80 this summer, and doesn't need any clothes, decorations, anything to dust around, etc. So my idea is to embroider her some sets of pillowcases--with pretty floral/vine type decorat

I was reading a past post about fsl bowls, and how people either really like them, or don't care for them at all. I had an idea (I'm sure someone else has had it first)--I'm a "busty" gal, and I think I'm gonna make one panel of a bowl and use it a

How pitiful am I? I posted a photo earlier of a cat bed that I had done for a friend. I'm allergic to cats, had to go over everything twice, gave myself a headache from hunching over the machine holding everything out of the way, and what did I say whe

I embroidered sashes for our local peach festival pageants a couple of weeks ago. Here is how they look on the winners. One little girl is missing--her pageant won't be until July

I can't believe I just embroidered on a cat bed! My thread broke 563 times... well, maybe I exaggerated just a bit. But it broke a lot, and I made a lot of mistakes. I would do it differently if I had to do it over.

I've seen meganne's design for a stoma pad, and I guess I just don't understand the purpose of them, besides cleanliness. I know at least two people with ports in their bellies, one for feeding, one for dialysis, and they don't have pads. Would they

did you see my post yesterday with my daughter's photo as a grumpy baby? Well, here she is now, with her sister. Meagan, the grumpy one, is the one in the green dress, and Allie is the bride. Meagan's hair is the color of an Irish Setter, and used to

Gerryvb posted a picture today that made me think of this photo of my daughter, who is 24 now. This was taken right after a bath, and she didn't like the chilly air. Makes me smile every time I see it. Thought other cuties would like to see it too and

I teach 3rd and 4th grade Sunday school, and we have about 6 boys that will be moving up to the next class at the end of May. I'd like to make them a bookmark for their Bible, but I can't find any "boyish" designs. These boys are rowdy, and are into

I finally finished embroidering the project I didn't really want to do. They are pageant sashes for our local annual peach festival. They weren't hard, but sure took a lot of stabilizer.

I know it's past Easter, but today is my daughter's 24th birthday, and she wanted a bunny butt cake. So here it is. Not the right color, (no food coloring) or texture (no coconut either) but it sure tasted good!

This may be a silly question, but--what is the purpose of voting for a design? I haven't been voting, didn't see a need since I have a subscription. Should I be voting? Have I missed doing something?

Have you all gone to opw and completed the easter bunny hunt? The last day is tomorrow. You can get 45 designs for free. Here's one hint: For almost all the designers, the bunny is NOT in their newest designs. I've always had good results from things

This is for mi30kaja: I was reading some back posts, and saw yours about the dead mouse in your washing machine--can you give us an update? I guess I have lots of leisure time if I'm wondering about a dead mouse!!
