NEW Cat and Dog Designs on the way

We love our animals around Bird Brain Designs.  Mackenzie and Campbell are star workers here in the studio.  This is a photo of Campbell supervising the creating of kits – on the work table on her cushion.  Such a helper!

CampbellWorking Mackenzie is not fond of being on the tables and does her best  supervising under the computer table.  Her very best job is guarding any snacks that might arrive in the studio.  Here you can MackenzieGuardingCookies

see her at attention – eyes glued on the bag of chocolate chips on the table.  She can remain in that pose not moving a smidge for ages!  Tina says she should be on TV as the “eager eater” pooch.

Soon we will have 2 NEW designs to honor Dogs and Cats.  All animals need love, home and love.  We support the ASPCA in our county and the National organization too.  A portion of the proceeds for each of the new designs is to be donated to www.ASPCA.org.  Please join us in your support of ALL animals in need.  Thanks so very much!

Watch for the NEW designs very soon.

    Ah, the supervisors are PRECIOUS. Guarding snacks is a most serious and important job. You never know when something may fall to the floor. (o: Can't wait to see the two new designs.

    Bless you for your posting and supporting ASPCA. The world needs much stiffer laws concerning abuse and abandonment, much stiffer.

New Christmas Freebie for you

It is now only 25 days to the BIG Christmas Day.  Whip up a few tea towels or make ornaments with our December Freebie design . I embroidered Santa holding a mini Christmas tree on a Sage Green striped tea towel.  He only took a couple of hours one night to complete.  A hint for you to speed your embroidery.  Thread a crewel embroidery needle for each of the colors in your design.  You won’t always be pulling the thread out and changing color.  This little cutie would make a great ornament too.  Just do the embroidery on muslin and finish in your favorite way.  FUN! I used our handy dandy Transfer-Eze to print the Freebie Santa and finger press on our Dunroven House tea towel.  The Freebie design can be put on your light box to trace directly onto the fabric – BUT – toweling is a little thicker and rougher than muslin.  Using Transfer-Eze solves the problem.  The smooth Transfer-Eze film put on your towel gives you a nice design line to see and a smooth surface to stitch on.  T

Transfer-Eze Embroidery Magic

Lots of us have been having a wonderful time using Transfer-Eze , the NEW water soluble film on paper backing you can use with your printer.  Instead of the tedious task of tracing embroidery designs onto fabric you can print the design on the Transfer-Eze. I printed a snowmen for a new design twice – one for Embroidery and one for Needle Felting on wool fabric.  Just pull the Transfer-Eze film off the paper backing.  To conserve the paper, I cut off one snowman and still have 2/3 of the paper left to print on again later! Dark fabrics are nearly impossible to trace an embroidery design on as the light from your light box doesn’t go through the dark fabric.  Transfer-Eze is just the ticket!   Finger press your printed design on the dark fabric.  I found the Transfer-Eze adhered better to the fabric after the fabric was washed to remove the sizing. The printed design shows beautifully on the film pressed on the dark red fabric. This is going to be EASY to embroider!   Add your hoop
