Snow is Already Flying!

Just watched the news and they say it is snowing like gang busters in Colorado….they may even get a couple of feet of snow so early in parts of the state.

Time to head inside by the fire and embroider.  Our NEW Snow Happens BlueWork table runner is just perfect for this early storm.  Get your pattern and muslin and enjoy yourself and watch those snow flakes come down – real or just feel for those in the weather.

We are still waiting for one of the nifty blue fabrics to arrive….the company sent red the first time.  As soon as that roll arrives we can offer the finishing fabric packet for you make your table runner and be ready for winter.

    Yes, it is snowing in Colorado. We woke to a winter wonderland with 10 inches of snow on the ground. The trees still have leaves so we spent a while knocking the snow off so the branches wouldn't break. I am stitching today because it is just a perfect day to do that. Love your Snow Happens pattern, very, very cuts.

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!

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...
