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...

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!
