More “Photo Shoot” from the house

I was getting carried away yesterday snapping photos of stuff!  Here is a lovely fimo clay Santa doll perched on a sweet mini kids chair.  This guy has a vintage quilt suit with old buttons plus old sewing goodies in his arms.

I don’t want to count how man little ironing boards are in my bunch of collectibles.  Here is one plus another one painted in red folded up behind it.   I have a “thing” for little chairs too!

Enough of my photography for today.  Hope all of you are enjoying getting ready for Christmas and are not too stressed!  Try for some treasured stitching time – you deserve it.

    I am always going to consignments in my area and see a lot of the items you have in your home. It inspires me to look at things in a different way, for decorating this year.

    Ohhh, that little red chair is a rocker! Awesome. I had a little red chair until my DD decided she wanted it a different color and sanded all the red away. Now it's just wood color because she never finished it. Sad. I also have a little wooden child's ironing board. At one time it sat at my sewing space for easy pressing without getting up!

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...
