March embroidery club.

Hello Ladies, We just had our club for March. If you weren't there here is what you missed, if you were here is a recap of all the great ideas. I have tried to include links right to the designs to save you time if there is not a link, it means I could not find it so if you know where it is email me the link and I will get it put on.

Jan's ideas that were shown at club.

Aren't these the cutest candy cozies? The flower was made using custom works frame program and the oval was made using the frames that are on your machine.

Here are Jan's instructions for making these.

Hoop felt - stitch out 1st circle color - next place vinyl over stitch line - stitch out 2nd circle color to secure vinyl - trim excess vinyl  and turn over and cut out felt from circle - stitch out 3rd circle color satin stitch.  Stitch out 1st oval or flower shape - remove hoop - on back side place two pieces of felt to cover stitch lines overlap 1" in the center , tape down.  Stitch out 2nd oval/flower to secure felt - cut excess felt - stitch 3rd color satin stitch.  Unhoop and cut out shape with scissors or pinking shears, fill with candy.  Enjoy

These bunny ears are also made using the frames from the machine.

Easter outfit

I thought I would share with you the cute outfit I put together for my sweet princess. I found the idea on an embroidery's website in their gallery and fell in love with it.

I embroided the Rag Bunny design from Five Star Fonts on a pink with white polka dot onesie that I found at Walmart. I purchased the brown and pink petti skirt from halo heaven.

I love how it turned out and can't wait for her to wear it.

here is a close up of the cute bunny.

Monthly baby onesies and binky holders

I have started working on a few projects that I thought I would share with you. The first one is a monthly baby onesie
I am sure you have seen them floating around all over the internet and pinterest if not here is a picture of what I am talking about.

These ones are from Wee bit trendy. They make a great gift for a new baby. Each of these circles are stickers and there are many different designs you can buy.

I however thought it would be fun to embroider them. So I started with this Candy Dots frame from Lynnie Pinnie and here is what I came up with at least for the first month. I am still working on months 2-12

Since I am not using them as a baby gift and they are just for my baby I decided to cheat and embroider the frame and cut it out and then using a glue stick just stick it on the onesie since I am just using them for pictures and she will not be wearing it all day long. Also then I don't have to buy so many onesies.

As I finish the other months I will be sure and post them.

The second project is a binky holder. I have sticthed out two different ones. Both of them are from embproject.com the first one is the 4x4 Diamond strap

It is all done in the hoop and is a quick easy stitch out, The design comes with different style font, I chose the script font. It has a diamond quilting pattern that it stitches out.

The second one is the Quilted binky holder 5x7

This one is a quick stitch out as well, and has a stippling pattern. Also it has different wording like girl, boy, etc. I wanted it to say a name so I skipped over the step where it stitches out the wording and added my own.

This one seems to be a little big in my opinion but maybe would work for an older baby I will let you know as she gets older, but for now I do not care for this one I do think however that it would be cute to hang on a bag or diaper bag as a bag tag and leave off the clip.

For both designs the way that it is finished in the hoop so that you can turn it right sides out is not my favorite choice as it leaves a little pocket like thing in the back. I will have to take a picture of the back so you can see what I am talking about.

Lucky banner

Here is a banner I made for St. Patricks Day I thought I would share it with you.

 I started with a  rectangle piece of white fabric  and used one of the frames off of my machine then added an applique font and added a shamrock to each letter.

For the end ones I used the rag it up shamrock from GG Designs and added the wording

After I had them all stitched out I took the backing and put right sides together and sewed up the bottom and two sides and left the top open and turned them inside out then centered them on my ribbon and folded the ribbon over and sewed it all together.

I wish I had pictures of each step but I made it before the blog was started and didn't think about it.

Cute Baby pillow

As many of you know I had my baby February 21 her name is Braelynn Abigail she was 7lbs 11 oz and 19 inches

I thought I would share a picture of the cute pillow Jan made for her.

Isn't it so cute. What a great baby gift idea. I am not sure where she got her design, but when I find out I will let you all know.

Our first post

Jan found this cute idea for St. Patrick's Day from Skip to my lou but they have it made out of paper so she digitized it and stitched it out and put it in a frame.  She used the 5x7 file and put it in an 8x10 frame. It would be cute on a towel or pillow. There are lots of ways to "Bling" it up. Notice on the heel of the shoe, she used metallic green to stitch it out.

Here is one with a bow

Here she left the bow off.

Here is a close up of the design stitched out.

She will be emailing everyone the file so keep a look out for it in your inbox.

She also had an idea..It could be made as a shoe for all seasons by just changing the fabric, colors and words. She included the design with out words.

So get creative and if you stitch this out send me a picture and I will post it for everyone to see.
