Having Fun in Washington

The Sewing & Stitching Expo is great as usual.  The day of shopping begins at a very early 8:30!  There is not much activity in our booth until after 9 o’clock but classes are filled to the brim at that early morning hour. 

We over hear lots of ladies loving RedWork (just like I do) and many are getting out their embroidery after LOTS of years of quilting and doing other things.  We are so happy to hear that!   You can relax in the evening stitching gifts or goodies for yourself – your sewing machine can’t always travel from room to room with you.  If you haven’t already given it a try, go to our Freebie design and stitch up a GreenWork design for St. Patty’s day – quick, fun and easy!

We are hoping for another sunny and lovely day in Puyallup – yesterday was wonderful – and meet all the ladies who had to work all week and now get to play at the show on Saturday and Sunday.  Enjoy your weekend and get in some stitching time for yourself.

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 de...

Designing by Candle Light

Here is my new mode of designing – by candle light! A power outage for many hours in the middle of the night to late morning.  I gathered some nice brass candle sticks and got to work…..I’m an early bird!  When the sun began to rise over Clear Lake I was able to snap a picture. Not recommended for long sessions of thinking and drawing but OK at the time!   Got a couple of ideas down on paper to finalize and get stitching for the arrival of our new fabrics….they are due to arrive in December some time – YAY. Oh, by the way….remember our RedWork SALE continues today and is over tomorrow. Visit the RedWork Category and pick your BBD Pattern and make your RedWork Challenge design.  Enjoy some quality Embroidery time!
