From Placemat to Purse
This was so much fun — using a placemat to create a purse for my granddaughter. Embroidery makes it so easy to embellish something simple and make it unique.
Summer Wristlet
Well. It’s winter and I just finished a little purse to go with a colorful pair of summer sandals! I choose to believe I am ahead of the game for next summer rather than behind for last!
Gifts from the Kitchen and Sewing Room

I’m so excited about using our new Bias Binder Attachment #88! I had these denim pieces that I had done some circular embroidery on (using Circular Embroidery Attachment #83). I put a piece of OESD FiberForm on the back, and backed that with a red cotton print.
Serged Patchwork Fleece Blanket — Civil War Blue & Gray

I embroidered a great decorative item for my sewing room using the fabulous Etched Alphabet of the 830 Limited Edition.
