Welcome back to the Ideas Blog! It has been a very busy spring of teaching and travel, but now I have some time in the studio to catch up on lots of projects. There is so much going on here and I want to share some of it with all of you!
First of all, did you know that my friends, the HoopSisters, have digitized some of my designs for machine embroidery? These talented gals have taken some FreeSpirit fabric designs and turned them into charming motifs for stitching. They are formatted to work on any contemporary embroidery machine. So the BERNINA has been working overtime!
Here are two new outfits that have been embellished with designs from the Enchanted Embroideries collection. Each jumper has big practical pockets decorated with Sassaman posies… very feminine and very chic. As a little surprise, the pockets have been lined with the original fabric from which the embroideries were inspired.
This pretty little purse was decorated with designs from the Prairie Chic Embroidery collection. Plus we have added decorative stitches to the strap, as well. The sewing pattern is my Pretty Perfect Pocket Purse. So you can see what potential these have for other projects like linens, napkins and housewares of all kinds. I would love to see how you use them, too.
These designs are on a DVD and available in my store. If you would prefer a downloadable version, please visit the HoopSisters website.
Jane. Those motifs look great. Meshes me want
To consider an embroidery machine. Hope your summer is both creative and calm for you.
Keep up the awe-inspiring work. It keeps us thinking
About all that is possible.
Enjoy
Pete.
