Machine Embroidery, Oh What Fun!

What fun, what fun, what fun!  I have been working on my machine embroidery and machine applique skills and man have I had fun!

So many wonderful designs are online and most can be downloaded at just the touch of the "download now" button!  One of my favorite sites is Amazing Designs, they not only offer design collections and individual designs but also offer wonderful software for editing designs just the way you want them.  I have had such fun creating my own designs using an image from one collection and adding text to it. All of their products are very reasonable and they are also having a great sale now until June 30.   Another great site to buy and download collections or individual designs is Embroidables, they have darling designs.  Happy Applique has some of the cutest machine appliques I have ever seen!  Their individual designs are very inexpensive and download in a matter of seconds.  Nancy's Notions also has some great designs.  If you are into embroidery or applique check out these websites.  You will love what you find!






This is a beach bag I made for my grand daughter.  She is going to the beach for her first time. The applique is from Happy Applique and the text was added using Personalize and Stitch from Amazing Designs.



This is a book bag for another grand daughter.  It was done with Smartneedle collection purchased at Nancy's Notions.  The collection is Jar Bugs Applique and Embroidery designs.



This cute little robot is for my grandson.  I found him in a collection at Embroidables.  The collection is called Robots ( of course ).

Look for more things like these to show up soon on Etsy...  Glo's Crafty Creations.

Happy Sewing!

Happy Halloween and Meet Me On Monday!

Image
I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Halloween.  I probably won't have many trick or treaters as no one in my neighborhood seems to celebrate Halloween.  Most do not  have a jack-o-lantern or even turn on their porch lights! All my grands live in a different city so I won't get to see them either, but I will get lots of photos of them from my kids!  Some of those photos have already started and I am going to share those with you, I come from a very... talented family! This is my little Granddaughter Hanne. She is a really cute and scary witch! This is my wonderful daughter-in-law Christa, dressed up as Marie Antoinette. She is rather beautiful all bloody and what not! Love her! This is my niece Brandy dressed in my sister's prom dress from 1964! She is a Prom Queen Zombie! I told you my family was..uhh..talented! LOL Hope you all have enjoyed the photos and hope everyone has a terrific Halloween! Happy Halloween! Meet Me On Monday I a

Pillow Talk and The Week in Review

Image
Sunday, 11-6-11 This week has been an awesome week. On a personal note, I was able to finally download all the music and videos I had on my Ipod Nano 3rd generation to my new Ipod Touch. I have to say that this is something I have been working on for weeks, but last night a light bulb went off and I realized it had been right in front of me all the time! Oh well! Halloween went a lot better this year, I had 3 spooky visitors.  When compared to last year, that is 3 times more! I also had an awesome invitation from Michelle over at  Heartfelt Balance / Handmade Life  to be the featured blogger on her  Sit and Relax Weekend Hop !  I am so very happy and excited about this and would like to publicly thank Michelle for this honor!  Sure hope everyone will visit her blog and check out the hop which will go live at 10 pm on Thursday (11-10-11). Now for the project for this past weeek: Last month I was picking my brain trying to come up with something to make each of my grand

Quilts For Kids

Image
Quilts For Kids : I was watching Sewing With Nancy last week and she featured this charity,  Quilts For Kids . It is a charity that seeks volunteers to make and donate quilts to children with a serious illness or that suffer from abuse.   I think this is such a wonderful idea, and can't wait to get started on a quilt to donate.  I can't think of a better thing to do this holiday season then to donate a hand made quilt that will give comfort over and over again to a child in need.  I hope everyone will check out this website and think about donating a quilt.  They will even send you a free kit!  How can anyone say no to that!
