Ready to go home

Travelling has been great but we are really ready for home!  The Rocky Mountain Sew Expo had been terrific and will close this evening.  Break down is always such fun but we look forward to it this morning.

It is still unusually warm in Denver but the weather guys continue to threaten storms soon.  Our fingers and toes are crossed that we will make it to about 8 PM when our garage is full of show left overs and get us over the Rockies before it really lets loose!  It will add a day or more for us to drive south to head west and then north again up the long California highway.  Oh well, we will get to see lots more country.

Hope all is well in your home town or where ever you are hanging out today and the entire weekend.

    This weekend I am getting started on the lovely Big Flower Pin cushions designs I got at Road to California. The heart will make a perfect Valentine gift for a dear stitching friend. I've enjoyed the shows, traveling along with you!

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...

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 t...
