Towel for my Sister.......


Very happy with how this turned out. I have a lot of fonts to pick from but the J always looks funny. This one was perfect and I love all the swirls The name  the font is  Sarah from Stitchtopia. I used the 3 inch font.  Loving my new machine with the larger hoop. I was impressed with the way it stitched out. I used water soluble stabilizer on the back of the towel and also a water soluble topping and I pinned the towel in the hoop rather than trying to hoop such a large towel.

Cushion for Teacher.....


I told my 9 year old grandson that I would make him something to take to his teacher, Mrs Fitzpatrick  for a Christmas Present. Once again this was something that I had always wanted to make..  Her favorite colour is that pretty aqua blue so I am sure she will love the cushion.   The cushion fabric has some of the aqua  colour on it as well.  The front part of the cushion is a pocket where you can put a book or anything else you might need.  There are lots of different sayings to put on cushions and they are all gorgeous. I bought the design from Memories in Thread and it stitched out without any problems.....

Birthday Shirt...


A shirt to match the towel for the Birthday Boy. I wished I had used vinyl now so the car would be lovely and shiny but thought it would be too heavy but I think it would have been ok as I would have only used a small piece..  Both the towel and shirt are on their way to Bowen and should arrive in time for the birthday next week.  I keep thinking I will run out of ideas for boys but something always seems to pop up when I need it.  I bought this design here and it stitched out beautifully.  I would also like to thank Katrina for adding the number 9 to the design for me. I think it looks great.

Hooded Towel...

My first time at making a Hooded Towel.  This is for my youngest grandson Cooper who loves McQueen from the movie Cars. I also wanted to use something shiny for the car so I got some vinyl.
Not sure of how this would work as I had never used vinyl before and it was so easy to use .The design came from My Silly Geese and there are heaps of designs there to choose from.  I can't wait to give this to Cooper.
