Machine Embroidery Earrings

I didn't get pictures of the actual earrings I sent Iris and Sonja for Valentines Day, but these are copies of the designs I used from embroiderydesigns.com


I asked Leslie to send a picture but haven't gotten one yet.

Grandmother's Secret Chair

The pattern for this little chair is called Grandmother's Secret Chair. A forum friend shared her pattern several years ago, and I made one for Iris at that time. This one is for Julia for her 4th birthday. It's the largest of three sizes on the pattern. I had made Iris the middle sized one. The picture next to a tissue box shows the actual size. It has a pull tab at the back of the seat cushion which opens a secret compartment perfect for a little girl to hide her treasures.

The pattern is available in a vintage book: "Scrap Saver's Christmas Stitchery".


This is the one I made for Iris in 2017.
