Our Spring Market Space Looked Inviting

Even if we do say so ourselves, we thought our little booth space looked very inviting to our quilt shoppe customers.  We had a great time fixing up our travelling store.  It is much easier to decorate this type of space rather than at a retail quilt show.  Then we need to fit in all the extra stuff all of our customers need – patterns, fabric, floss – all the good stuff!

We used a couple of great pieces of furniture from Tina’s house…her potting bench and corner cupboard made from an old door.

Both of Tina’s treasures added so much to the look and feel of our Spring Market Store.

Market was successful with LOTS of quilt shops visiting and buying patterns.  Remind your favorite quilt shop to check out Bird Brain Designs and stock patterns for  you to buy in their stores – so handy for you!

  2. Thanks for sharing pics of your booth! I'm not able to attend national quilt shows/markets only local ones (Triangle,NC) so it is always a real treat to see how your booth looks like when you go on your shows.

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
