Just a funny to share--I always bring my hoops and fabric and stabilizer, etc. to my living room to hoop. I sit in the floor and do my marking, etc. (I'm at that age where I need to stay limber and this helps) Well, today I was "floating" a rich pl

I haven't pressed or blocked or mounted this yet for framing, but I'm so happy with this design from Omas Place. My machine had been driving me crazy with shredding threads but this sewed out with no broken threads or with me wanting to either scream o

I just need to vent--I visited an embroidery site that I haven't gone to in months and months. Honestly, I was having a pity party for myself and I thought I would look at designs and perhaps buy one and cheer up. Well, the sets are $49!!! Who can buy

My church is having its annual fall fest towards the end of next month. Part of it is a silent auction of handmade items, with the proceeds all going to our building fund. One year I embroidered and then framed the Serenity Prayer, and also the prayer o

I know that I've probably bored you to death with info about my granddaughter, but this photo really sums her up. Her little pool is dry, and she still insists on playing with/in it! She definitely marches to her own drummer! Strong-willed is her styl

This may be a silly question, but when you make a fringed design, what keeps those threads from pulling out?

Why do some of these embroidery sites charge so much for their designs? Why would I pay $15 for an in the hoop design of a basic zipper bag plus the zipper and fabric and any other needed supply? It seems like some of these stores are pricing themselves

I need suggestions for a gift. A former coworker drove me an hour away for me to have a daith piercing done in my ear that could possibly help these daily migraines. We were under a time crunch with other obligations, so I didn't get a chance to pay fo

I've just bought the dollhouse design from Kris Rhoades, and I'm excited and scared to try it. Have any of you tried it? This is the site that had the lovely quote about copyright on it.

I don't know if this has ever been posted before, but this really hit the nail on the head about copyrights. When you buy from an independent artist you are buying more than just a painting or a novel or a song. You are buying hundreds of hours

I got to thinking about using fonts, and I want to make sure I'm not doing this the hard way. When I want to use a purchased font for a name for example, I open the font, go to the first letter, copy and paste it into a new file and save it. Then I go

Does any cutie know of a site that has a design for a superhero crown and wristlets that would fit a child? I'm not sure of the hero it is, but it is basically a gold headband with a single point in front and a red star embroidered on it. Thank in advan

I hadn't been checking very often lately, but Hancocks-Paducah has some great fabrics on their sale pages. I go through the "sale fabrics by price" and have fun just looking. Beautiful batiks, Paris prints, astronomy designs, all kinds of stuff. N
