I've been working on this Santa Mug-rug for days and I'm really pleased with him now. Hope you like him! He comes in two sizes - 130 x 180 and 140 x 200. The larger size has a CD inside for extra stability.

I have been playing with the gingerbread men and this is what I've come up with. Each one fits in the 100mm square hoop and they are holding hands courtesy of Kam Snaps. I know that many of you don't like to see "Xmas" used, but I was running out o

I haven't had much time for sewing this week, but I did manage to play with these two Christmas designs for friends. The gingerbread men are for a friend who makes similar chaps by hand and she wondered how much quicker they could be! The taller one i

Just to show that a dodgy piece of patchwork is not really enhanced by making it into something! I tried the patchwork method posted by eggyannie a while ago. (What has happened to her? She hasn't posted for months.) It was not totally successful. (I

Zipped purse retrieval - inspired by Pennifold's projects! This was one of the first projects I tried with my new machine. I had finished all of the stitching and cut it out when I realised that the bobbin was incorrectly inserted so there was completely

Denim wallet - made in the hoop to my own design. The decorative design came from the Mexican Folkart pack from Urban. The denim came from the same jeans as the bag I posted the other day!

I've acquired some more jeans to recycle, they are supposed to be for a rag rug, but I couldn't resist doing something more interesting! The bag is my own design, made in the 230mm x 300mm hoop, but I have added the decorative design from the Urban Thre

At last I've found time to complete my set of Christmas decorations from Embroidery Library. Now to put them in a safe place - and remember where that is!

I found a polystyrene wreath form today, so I thought I'd try organza flowers on it. These are the ones I made for a ball shaped ornament a few weeks ago but I think they look better like this. It will need a few more to finish it off.

I got a bit carried away in the Embroidery Library Christmas in July sale this morning. I was supposed to be doing other things, but I couldn't resist trying one of the designs.

My daughter and I have been playing today and we made these old fashioned bowl covers (I loathe cling film!) We thought a fly was the ideal design for them. The edges a weighted with hand stitched beads although I may try some with a crochet edge when I h

I'd stitched this picture of a local church with no particular plan as to what I'd do with it. The Church Fete is next week and raffle prizes are needed, so I turned it into a cushion by applying it to a plain background with a rope edged frame. The

Remember when it was allowed to use buttons for the eyes of cuddly toys? Well it is again! The belly button can easily be replaced by a name or a message. The grey bear is for 130 x 180 hoop and the green one for 160 x 260.

Christmas in July. I used the organza flower design I made for the J-Club ladies to make this bauble. It is just over 10cm in diameter. The fabric is somewhere between organza and taffeta so I used one layer with gold thread. Instead of making them

I couldn't resist these new designs from Urban Threads. Unfortunately the fabric I chose to use is cheesecloth already embroidered, but I think I got away with it!
