Long Beach Quilt Show Was GREAT

We had a great everything at the Quilt Show.  Saw many old friends and met new friends who know us from the website and Newsletters – FUN!  We worked all weekend with Carol and Alan, our “Satellite Studio” folks who take Bird Brain Designs to shows Robin and Tina don’t go to.

Every day we worked long hours at the show (until 7 o’clock!) and then ate wonderful food at the super restaurants along “The Pike”.  Almost (sort of) like a vacation after work – yummy.

The Quilt Show is over and we are in Las Vegas as shoppers at the Gift Show.  Finding lots of really fun stuff to decorate and sell in the new Studio/Store in Kelseyville, California.
Hope many more of you will be able to make a trip to our cute town to visit and shop at the Studio.

I’ll take photos of all the new stuff as it arrives at the Studio to tempt you to make a visit!

    We visited your Studio in Kelseyville about a month ago. After a fun time shopping in your store, and purchasing several items, we went across the street and had a yummy cookie at the bakery! Will definitely visit again.

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...
