Tips and Tricks-Stabilizer
Stabilizer is expensive and I don’t like to see it go to waste. One of the ways I save on stabilizer is by sewing large used pieces together. I prefer to use a zig-zag stitch. This is a mesh with a nice sized piece in the middle that I will be stitching on.
Inspired from the wedding invitation, this monogram frame was created for some newlyweds. I like to look for clues from the couples wedding registry’s and invitations to learn what colors and styles they like in order to create them a personalized gift.
I was recently sent an image of a project I worked on 4 years ago. A dear friend of mine made her mother-in-law a quilt with the birth stats of her grandchildren (all boys) embroidered on individual squares.
It’s exciting that I am now digitizing a square for their first granddaughter!
Mini Animal Train Design Set
Bibs are fun and easy to personalize. Start with some fabric and ribbon that you would like to incorporate. I found red corduroy in the depths of my fabric bin that I will be using on the back.
I stitched white flannel to the star fabric before I cut out the bib. My bib pattern is old and worn but I just keep using it! It’s a keeper!
Personalize the bib to your heart’s content! I have used my new Mini Animal Train Set.
A shout out to Kim at www.etsy.com/shop/LakeTimeCrafts for the suggestion for the mini animal train. You’re the best!
Tutti Fruity Baby Shower Gift
My favorite kind of invitation is to a baby shower!
We wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and safe travels. Spend this holiday season with friends an family. If you don’t have any around, take the time to help those in need and make them your friends. When you are feeling a little down, the best pick me up is to get out and help somebody in need.

Coloring embroidery designs is a cute way to add something new to your embroidery. You can turn the first embroidery into the second embroidery by following the instructions below. (This works best with applique designs)
The more you repeat steps 2 and 3 the darker the colors will be. Try different combinations of colors and layers to see how creative you can be.
