Sweet Summer Lavender

My lavender bushes were right on time with perfect fresh lavender to take to our Open House last Saturday.  The wonderful scent filled the whole retail area of our Studio.  So pretty and enjoyable to smell!

We always have bags of French Lavender ready for you to add to your orders.  Fill pin cushions and make embroidered and wool sachets for gifts and sweeten your closets and drawers.

Our pretty Fresh Lavender Pin Cushion Set has lavender in the cushion to keep your sewing basket lovely all the time!  Fun to do embroidery on Wool fabric too…give it a try with Sticky Fabri-Solvy to get your design onto the wool.  So easy to transfer designs onto wool…it is too thick you can’t see through it with a light box.   

Lavender

My gardens are growing the Provence variety of lavender.  It is one that is used for essential oils and Provence can be added to foods for interesting cookies, drinks and other delicious treats, too. 

Happy Sweet Summer to you!

    So pretty! I wish we could have gone to your open house. It looks like it was fun. The store looks great. I always love a store with a dog...and such a cute one.

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...
