More from Salt Lake City

As I said before Tina and I had a great time decorating our little Mercantile Shoppe at market in Salt Lake City.

SpringMarket2011

Propping designs with some (LOTS) of the goodies we brought in our funny little U-Haul trailer was fun.  Maybe we are frustrated shoppe owner who would like to set up displays all around a real store….not happening though!  We do like travelling around to see lots of different areas and a different groups of ladies.

Blackwork

My favorite display was my stack of little kid chairs to show off our NEW Bless Our Home BlackWork  Samplers.  The framed BlackWork  just worked so great resting on and around these cute little chairs.  I have just the softest spot in my heart (maybe my head!) for tiny little chairs.  I found another at a local estate sale this Thursday….cute.

WindowBoxScreen

Another nifty display shows off a couple of Wool Applique pin cushions hanging on the screen back of an old window with an added flower box added to the front.  We added live geraniums and greens to the window box for a nice look.  Tina’s funny little yellow stool was perfect to attach our Vintage Clamp pin cushions.  Other pretty RedWork designs surround the window box.

We are working on new designs to tempt you in the NEAR future.  Happy Stitching everyone!

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...
