Packing Up For Road to California

There are piles of goodies all over the place here in the studio getting ready for Road to California.  Models, wool, pin cushions and plenty of other things too….quite the mess!

Wool Squares

Here is a big pile of 8” squares of our wonderful wool ready to bag up and take out to Lucy, the motor home.  The wool rack is ready to roll too.  We do love our wool!

Wool Rack

The models are gathering together on top of their suitcase and will be stuffed inside.  A new season of the year so we don’t want to forget any one!

Models On Suitcase

Craziness around here – how normal.  See you folks next week at the show.

    You were my favorite booth at the show (and where I spent most of my money!!). I'm not really a quilter, but an embroidery fan. I love it that you have the dunroven towels and all the patterns. Cute cute cute!

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

The printed design shows beautifully on the film pressed on the dark red fabric. This is going to be EASY t...
