Iris' Birthday

 

This machine embroidery iris
was made so that Iris can
use it in a way that she
wants. She can applique it to
a sweatshirt or t-shirt, a bag,
or something else, or put a
ribbon on it and hang it
in her room ... or
anywhere.  

I made this birthday card from
two machine embroidery 
designs and added the lettering
with Embrilliance software.

Iris outgrew the sweatshirt
I had made her with this design.
Leslie thought she might like
another one. 

Kathy's BD/key fobs

 

Here are the key fobs I made. 

The one on the left is for me

and resembles the quilt block

tire cover I made for our

travel trailer.

I made this card for Kathy from 

a picture of her motor home

and added the picture in the back window.

The key fob was made to resemble the

quilt block tire cover she made.

Easter cards

 Easter cards for Leslie and Emelie's families
and one for Shirley

These machine embroidery designs are from KreativeKiwi's Easter Delight. I added the lettering with a program called Embrilliance.

 

Embellished sweatshirt

I made this machine embroidery

patch for Merwin's sweatshirt

for St. Patrick's Day.

 

February hears of all kinds ...

I made many hearts for the IFAQH.com project. Kathy and I took some to share at a Stitching Girls Society sewing retreat in February. I hope to add a picture of a Valentine's Day card if Leslie sends me a picture of hers.

Machine embroidery Love banner
design from Kreative Kiwi

Here's a table runner I made with
miscellaneous hearts.

I made these machine embroidery
hearts with a free design from
Kreative Kiwi (Koru Heart Coaster)
and turned them into a bunting for the kitchen doorway.

Then a couple more buntings made of
scrappy hearts for around the skylight 

This is the OESD design I used to make
Valentines. I didn't get pictures of the 
cards but may have some soon.

Key fob

 

Sonja told me about her music teacher who 
is sad to have to retire because he
loves the students, but he's getting
too old to continue teaching. 
She wanted to give him
something, so I made this key fob
for her to give to him.

In preparation for the Seattle Seahawks playing in Super Bowl LX, I made myself a cowl with yarn I've had for a while. I also made a Seahawks patch for Merwin's sweatshirt.

Stitched Together nametags

Our Stitched Together group is growing and we needed more nametags. I think I made a total of 9 this year.
