New Scissors Have Arrived

We met with Ms. Scissors at the Long Beach International Quilt Festival and bought some new styles for you.   We ordered more of our old favorite – the Fabulous Applique Scissors – too.

Tina has been working on her very large hooked rug featuring Campbell the dog so we orders some super scissors with curved blades for her (far left).  Rug hookers and machine embroidery gals will love using them.  You can easily clip your wool strips and embroidery thread threads easily holding the blades flat on the surface – no mistakes!

The Micro Tip Scissors are super fine to accurately snip your quilting and embroidery threads.  The tiny blade points will be great for removing stitches too!

The traditional Stork Scissors are perfect for “Bird Brain” Stitchers – and there are PLENTY of those!  Enjoy some fun in your nifty stitchin’ stuff.

Last but not least are our work horse scissors, our Fabulous Applique Scissors.  These are the only scissors we use in the Studio making kits and everything else. 
Terrific for all needlework stuff.

Enjoy something for yourself!

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...

Designing by Candle Light

Here is my new mode of designing – by candle light! A power outage for many hours in the middle of the night to late morning.  I gathered some nice brass candle sticks and got to work…..I’m an early bird!  When the sun began to rise over Clear Lake I was able to snap a picture. Not recommended for long sessions of thinking and drawing but OK at the time!   Got a couple of ideas down on paper to finalize and get stitching for the arrival of our new fabrics….they are due to arrive in December some time – YAY. Oh, by the way….remember our RedWork SALE continues today and is over tomorrow. Visit the RedWork Category and pick your BBD Pattern and make your RedWork Challenge design.  Enjoy some quality Embroidery time!
