Time To Garden

My garden is calling me to come and play in the dirt today and throughout the weekend....I just love enjoying all the flowers and even yanking out those pesky weeks.

In case you want to garden and NOT GET DIRTY, sit by a window and look at your garden while you embroider a garden design.  My Heart is in My Garden and yours maybe too.  Stitch in GreenWork and make a pretty fabric framed sampler.

Spring Garden RedWork

It still feels like spring in some parts of the country and our Spring Garden RedWork collection of embroidery designs is a great way to do your gardening in comfort - inside!  Make some lovely gifts for your garden gal pals and for you too.  Wouldn't the pillow look great on a porch swing all summer long!

Silk Lined Baskets

It feels like summer is here - our weather is beautiful!  We have a  NEW trio of really pretty sewing baskets from Vietnam to hold your stitching accessories.  They are completely lined with an iridescent silk and the top has a draw string of matching silk cord ending in a charming crocheted ball (my favorite part!).

The baskets are produced by an education and income generating project by family owned enterprises to revive the traditional cultural handicrafts of Vietnam.  Beautiful and useful, too.

As an introduction to our Stitching Accessories, enjoy a special price to own one, two or all three of these beauties.  We have a limited number of the baskets so don't get left out!

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...
