Poinsettia Placemats.........

 Decided to try something a bit different.  I had these placemats and they are made from a sort of hard plastic.  I held them in the hoop with tape and thought that a open design would work best.  I found this Poinsettia design in my stash and it was just perfect.  Wasn't sure how the machine would work on this sort of plastic.  I even put on a pair of glasses just in case the needle broke, but never had a problem.  Stitched out beautifully and will look great on the Christmas table.

Embroidered Cards.....

 I made these beautiful cars on my Embroidery Machine. The design came from M.O.M. Mastering Our Machines.   It is a facebook group and has a lot of different ideas  and uses for the Embroidery Machine.  These cards were for people who were suffering from Cancer and just need some encouragement. Anyone can join. So many different ideas for using embroidery. I made a couple into Birthday Cards by putting their names on the card.
