I wanted to post a few things that I've made lately that I've given to other people for whatever reason. Usually, I'm taking the pictures in a big hurry on the way to the post office so I'm not thinking about lighting or angles etc. I just want to document the sweat and tears heheh.
The above is a mug rug that I made from a design from
Der Stickbaer. The site is in German and English I believe and there are some nice in the hoop designs here.
This is a set of dishtowels completely handmade by little ol' me. I purchased a linen fabric the ric-rac and fabric accent band and embroidered the veggies using designs from Embroidery Library. I like them so much I need a set for myself. (click the picture to get a the picture to pop up bigger)
The pillow was for a friend who works at the cutting counter at JoAnn's. She is always so upbeat and I loved it when she was working while I was working my shift selling sewing machines. The cutting counter and our little store- within-a-store is right next to that area. Designs from Embroidery Library.
Allllllll of this stuff was a late Christmas gift to my mom, there's a thread-catcher bag with Bluebirds embroidered in their little house, an eye mask for naps, a triangle pouch that I laminated also to hold threads, a pincushion filled with crushed walnut shells and a 10-minute table runner that was really about that long to make. Designs from Embroidery Library.
Above is a cute little purse from one of the Husqvarna-Viking packs and also built into the Designer Diamond Deluxe. This was SUPER easy to do in the hoop. The hardest part of this was picking out about 4 grey thread colors to contrast. It is lined in green satin.
Viola! There you have a plethora of stuff that I remembered to snap photos of.
