Machine embroidery vinyl keychain

 

Machine embroidery vinyl keychains. The first one I made with white vinyl as it showed in the design I purchased, but I decided it would be more realistic to do it in the color of a fox. I had to order a sample size of the color vinyl I wanted since I couldn't find it in the local craft stores or through any upholstery stores. They weren't really helpful, so Google to the rescue again! I made it for Emelie, but have an extra if someone else wants one.

Sympathy card

 

Sympathy card for my forum friend who lost her husband recently...I made it with a machine embroidery freestanding lace hummingbird. Her husband loved hummers.

Map play mat

 

I got this world map fabric panel as well as the US map fabric panel from Kathy and made a play mat/quilt for my grandchildren (or whichever one claims it). I just quilted along the longitude and latitude lines on the map It was a quick and easy project and seems appropriate for our international family.

Quilted watercolor heart wall hangings

 

I was inspired by Gina at our Stitched Together group to try my hand at a watercolor heart wall hanging. I ended up making three of them. Leslie and Emelie picked the ones they wanted, and I get the third one. I quilted them with my embroidery machine. I used border print fabric and the quilting was done with my embroidery machine.

First one finished in January, 2024

Hooded baby towel

 

Hooded baby towel for a shower gift using this tutorial:  HOW TO MAKE A HOODED TOWEL (youtube.com), but used a dinosaur applique pattern on the hood rather than machine embroidery as the video shows. The applique dinosaur is a Sindy Rodenmayer design from fatcatpatterns.com. The pattern is called Dino RAWR! I did reduce the size quite a bit. 

All Aflutter wall hanging

 

Another wall hanging inspired by a link Gina shared with the Stitched Together group. I think I'm the only one who fell in love with it enough to dive right in. The quilting is a bargello technique. I made freestanding lace butterflies rather than the applique ones called for on the pattern.

IFAQH hearts

 

So far this year I have made quite a few quilted hearts. Most of them are for the IFAQH project (IFAQH.com). A few of these are machine embroidery. The others are machine quilted.
