Remembering Mackenzie

Our sweet little Mackenzie, Robin’s  frisky Wire Haired Fox Terrier companion, has passed away.  Many of you will remember our doggies at the quilt shows in the past years.

All the money from today’s sales of our Dog and Cat RedWork patterns are going to be donated to an animal rescue shelter in Mackenzie’s memory.

Mackenzie was a very loved companion both at home and on the road in her large white dog house on wheels with her daughter, Campbell.  She will be lovingly remembered and missed tremendously in our lives.

    What a sad time for you. They become such loving family members, to lose them is so heart breaking.

    I am so sorry. But she has crossed The Rainbow Bridge and is young, healthy and playing with all of our beloved pets. They will be waiting for us when we cross over. I truly believe this.

    Remember all the fun times and in time it does help the hole in your heart.

    Hugs

    I have never meet Mackenzie in person, but have enjoyed her thru your work. I am a dog lover too so my heart goes out to you. They are such great companions and love us unconditionally. My prayers are 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...
