Potholder - I managed to get some heat resistant wadding so I made this to celebrate! The backing fabric is the same as the "binding" and the design is by Vicki (basketkase)

Copyright question. That rather nice tied heart pincushion could be a fun ITH project. The pattern is available from more that one source on the web so who, if anyone, can claim any kind of copyright to it? I've emailed one of the sources, but had no res

Mug-rug - using the free applique design currently available here. (Had to reduce it a bit to fit on.) The text is the first line of a song by Lehar which my Dad used to sing a lot. (The first line, that is, never the whole song!) Daughter Kate collect

This pincushion was featured in Community (see link) I just had to make one. It takes about 10 minutes (including stuffing!)

Here is my own stitchout of the pincushion already posted by rescuer and aussiequilter. I have to say I like both of theirs better than my own! Thanks to rescuer for the original suggestion and to aussiequilter fro showing the versatility of the desig

I've just started to get into the Embird Font Engine instead of EFP, but there are some features I'm not keen on. Could someone with more experience than I have, tell me how to get rid of the stitched connections between the letters? Pretty please.

This is a "poorly blanket" that I made for my friend Ann (Scottie0930) with the help of my Cute Sisters in Stitching from around the world. Strictly speaking it isn't a quilt as it has a polar fleece backing and no wadding.

This amazing Cute Community of ours.<br /><br /> Just a couple of days after Christmas I emailed some of my Cute Sisters in Stitching to ask for their help. I wanted to make a quilt for my Friend Ann (scottie0930) who is unwell. Within 3 days, (includi

Purse with a zip in the top, no visible stitching or raw edges made ITH with just a tiny bit of straight hand sewing to finish off. I think I'm just about there! (Middle picture is the inside,)

Is it still possible to have an original idea? If I think I have one, how do I really know? This is an interesting conundrum as there are probably 100's of websites out there with embroidery designs. Today I have been trying out a method for making an

This is a prototype for an ITH purse made fully lined (no visible raw edges) with the zip in the top. Now I have proved to myself it is possible, I will start refining the technique.

These purses are made ITH, fully lined, with no raw edges inside. The flaps are made by strip and flip. The animal print one was made in my 200mm square hoop and is big enough for me to use as an over-body bag. The bright one was made in 140mm square. The

This is the last mug-rug for a while - this time for 100mm and 140mm square hoops. The one on the left is a single coaster made from the 140mm design and the one on the right is made up from four of the smaller design. They are really quick to make and co

I thought you might like to share a laugh at my expense. (I'm having a "duh" day today.) <br /><br /> I'm testing some new mug-rug designs and everything was going smoothly until I realised I hadn't left a gap for turning through. All was not lost
