When Sonja was here over Christmas, we made this drawstring bag with a machine embroidery hummingbird (OESD Hummingbirds and Honeysuckle3). It was fun sewing with her, and she did a beautiful job. I think her intend was to give it to a friend.
I made this machine embroidery eyeglass case into a cross-body cellphone holder for Kathy. The design is from Embroidery Garden "Monogram Pleated Eyeglass Case" to which I added the strap so she can have it nearby when she's expecting a call.
I ended up making two of these polar bear ornaments. Leslie's was stitched on 22ct. Zweigart Hardanger stitched 2 over 1 (I think), and I made my own with 14 ct. Aida stitched 3 over 1.
This pillow cover was made with Christmas fabric that I've had for quite some time. I finally decided what to do with it. I used this video tutorial:
(624) How to sew a Zipper into a Pillow Back // Great for Quilted Pillow Covers! - YouTubeI ended up sewing the front and back pieces with wrong sides together then adding binding around it. The binding makes it look a bit like cording (but it's not, and so much easier).
These ornaments were made for Julia and Valentin for Christmas, 2024. I made them fairly flat hoping they would make it through the mail with one international stamp to Germany. They made it!
This is a rag wreath made with scraps of Christmas fabric tied onto a metal wreath frame. This project was presented by one of the members of my Stitched Together group. She provided the wreath forms, and we each brought our pre-cut fabric scraps. It was a fun project.
