New Adventures In Machine Embroidery

I've been playing and learning more about my embroidery machine over the last two weeks.  LOVE IT!  It has it's limitations since it will only take a 4x4 hoop. But I can work with that. Have had some Ooooops moments. But overall I think I've done rather well.


This on will go into a block for my Doctor Who 'Silence In The Library' quilt. Not 100% a Van Gogh but I think it conveys the meaning.

Experimenting with floating my fabric.  LOVE this design!!!

First practice run with thee sunflower design

Made a little mug rug to go on my desk.

Tested out a quilt label idea

Making a sketchbook carrier for my DD to put in her backpack so her sketchbook doesn't get all banged up. This was just the test. Working on the real one now.



SO close!!!! Almost had it all in one go, then on the 3rd one I didn't flip it correctly.  No problem, cut them all apart. Stitched one more correctly and pieced everything together. It was good practice on how to orient the designs!

Live ~ Love ~ Create ~ Sew

An original design I created for my sister's new sewing space. I'm happy to share it with you all for your personal use. Please so not sell my patterns or creations made with the patterns without permission. Because the words are individually pieced you can use them on their own or change the layout anyway you want it.  For my layout I added a 5" x 8" piece of background to the left and right of Live and Love. For Create I added a 5" x 2.5" piece to each end.  I have some photos below that I took as I was laying everything out and deciding on which I liked best.  This can easily be done with scraps from your scrap bin! Enjoy and Happy Sewing!

The Owl House ~ Stringbean

 FINALLY!! Luz has her palisman and isn't she the cutest!!!   I'm making it available in 2 sizes. I wanted a 12" block to turn into a pillow but since the other main Owl House blocks are 10" I have provided that option as well.  The 10" block will be slightly more challenging on the eye as it will make those pieces smaller. But I know you can do it!! Pattern - 12" Pattern - 10" Difficulty: 2 This pattern is free for personal and non-profit use only. Not to be used for manufacture or distribution. Sale of this pattern or quilts made from this pattern is prohibited. Click here for more patterns from The Owl House String bean with embroidered details String bean with no embroidery

Week 14 - Owl House - Emperor Belos

I hope you all are starting off 2022 happy and healthy! First up for 2022 is Emperor Belos unmasked. Block size: 12" x 12" Difficulty: 3 (due to the smaller pieces) Click here for the pattern Belos with full embroidery I wanted to show some differences with embroidery to show that you don't have to go all out like I do on these blocks. On this I would also do around his right eye to make that pop more. Otherwise you could totally get away with stopping here. Looking better already with a nose, mouth and scar.  Ready for embroidery.
