Hello,
I have been busy sewing while the main computer was in for its annual check up. We now have a start button that works! No more pushing the re-start button on the hard drive.
I love the designs put out by
Urban Threads. They have regular freebies of both machine embroidery and hand sewing designs. Here are some I stitched out on some lovely white cotton tea towels.
I think this design would be great on a t-shirt or stretched on one of those artist boards.
This design just reminds me of Summer.
Now I know this is a Easter based design but the tea cups won me over.
This is the latest design from Urban Threads, a rather cute Christmas design.
I have stitched out the largest design of each one, their are usually three sizes to choose from.
These serviettes have been waiting for rather a long time to be finished. I originally stitched out the names on my old sewing machine, you can see where I unpicked it. I added the names in bigger lettering and stitched out the Holly design from one of Mary Engelbreit's Holidays designs.
I have had this coaster/paperweight in my stash for many years. I have taken it out to look at it and try to decide what to do with it. Well the other day I stitched out a design from the Brother Roses card and had it stitched in ten minutes. A row of hand stitching to help tuck it in behind the backing and it was finished.
This design for the Apple Mug Mat came from the
San Franciso Stitch Company. It was done in four hooping's. A bit of cutting of some of the designs then stitched together. I used some apple fabric for the binding. It was interesting to read some of the same apples are available here in WA.
Tonight I will be joining in
Friday Night Sew In with others from around the globe. I will be working on some
filet crochet. I will post an update on the crochet later on when more of it has been completed. Thanks Wendy for hosting Friday Night Sew In.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
Happy days.

Love your stitching projects! Urban Threads has the coolest designs, don't they. I would love to have them carry some of my artwork ;) What type of machine do you use for your stitching projects? I am shopping for one these days.
