3 Cheers for the Red, White & Blue

American Flaglette Trio

It is time to celebrate with flags, sparklers and rockets!

Make some red, white and blue American Flaglettes to decorate your home - quick and fun to do with wool.

Both the Pattern and the fabric are on sale this week.

Stars 'n Stripes Forever

Decorate your table top with a great patriotic table rug with Red, White & Blue, too. This stylized flag will add lots to your summer dinners on the deck or patio. Remember the 4th of July is coming soon, too. Get ready to celebrate and PARTY!

The stars are reverse appliqué - just cut out the top layer of navy blue and let the white underneath show through. Use the cut out stars in the center of your "flag stripes" - nice! Add simple embroidery stitches that add texture and interest to your creation. Wool is always so wonderful to work with.

The pattern is on sale this week.

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 .

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!
