Sneak Preview of NEW Design

Hi all.  I just finished adding this new Fall embroidery design to the website.  This funny Scarecrow in Wheelbarrow pattern arrived in the studio from the printer today and has not been  “introduced” yet.

I stitched the design on our Heavy Weight Muslin with 10 colorful #8 DMC Perle Cottons.   When I finished I took my left over morning coffee and put it in a fine mist spray bottle and spritzed my embroidery.  I thought it added to the rustic look.  The Scarecrow and friends would be wonderful embroidered on our Tea-Dyed Cotton saving you from having to spray with coffee!

This embroidered character will make a great Autumn decoration for your home.  Fall is coming up soon so you have time to get the pattern and other goodies and get stitching during August into September.  You get a head start and are the first to see our new Scarecrow design.

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!
