NEW Designs for our NEW Bright Tea Towels

When the 4 NEW stripe colors for our Dunroven House Tea Towels arrived I was excited to begin designing a pattern especially for them.

I have added the Black Striped Towel in a new pattern that is at the printer but not photographed yet…..next week for sure!  We are taking the towels and new pattern, Animal Stackers, to Road to California  January 24 – 27.

For the 3 Bright Pastel Striped Towels I have been playing with some simple designs with lots of flowers and words to complement the bright stripe colors. 
We have ordered 2 NEW #8 Perle cotton shades to go with the Turquoise Stripes.  Three are being stitched now and 3 more to think up and draw and then stitch. 
I have such a fun job!

These NEW Designs will be ready to publish and send off to you when we return from Road to California.

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!
