Impromptu Baby Gift Wrap
Katherine sent photos of a last-minute gift-wrapping project – beautiful! She had no wrapping paper, but plenty of fabric, so she made this precious wrap – which ended up being as big a hit as the gift!
Modern Blossoms for Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! I’m so excited to be guest-blogging for We All Sew today because I have something I can’t wait to share. My first embroidery collection, Modern Blossoms, is coming out in just a couple of weeks at Quilt Market! You know that I’m a huge fan of the B 580 and all things BERNINA so naturally I’m very excited.
Geometric Quilt Block Pillow Class
Doesn’t this look like a fun class? It’s a hands-on event they held at The Sewing Room in Tucson, AZ, for their new B 750 sewing machine owners. They had lots of fun sewing Erika’s Geometric Quilt Block Pillow. Thanks, Mary, for sharing this photo!
Personalized Director’s Chair
A removeable sleeve for a directors chair – what a super idea! Plus a lovely 50th anniversary gift idea. Thank you, Katherine, for the inspiration!
Jessica’s Wedding Dress, Part 4: First Fitting
The day arrived for the first fitting of the wedding dress. Of course I had to make the test dress pink, since her very first wedding dress was a pink satin that I made when she was five years old. Since Jessica didn’t want embroidery on her wedding dress, I decided to place some on the test dress.
Easter Table Topper
Bonnie Kimbrough sent this photo of her super-cute Easter table topper, made from Amanda Murphy’s free tutorial. Bonnie’s new to free-motion quilting; This is a nice project for practicing free-motion stitching skills, as the stitches don’t need to follow any particular line or design. Great job, Bonnie!
Paris Quilt
Amy Millsaps, who works at Raintree Quilting in Juneau, Alaska, sent me this picture of the beautiful Paris wallhanging she composed in DesignWorks software. She combined clipart and embroidery files from BERNINA Embroidery Software 6, OESD Flourish Fancy pack #12224, and the Rose Gown Applique and Paintwork design from DesignWorks Sampler 1 for a lovely montage
Mandala Backpack
Mandela is a word of Sanskrit that means circle. I used this as the theme for my granddaughter’s backpack because I wanted her to have something that she could grow with.
DesignWorks Pillows & Runner from Amanda Murphy
As Sewing Celebrity Amanda Murphy of Amanda Murphy Designs has been exploring with her BERNINA 780 E, she has created some of the most beautiful projects. Amanda has even put together videos for each project using her Medallion, Harlequin and Fizz patterns. Enjoy!
Embroidered Tote Bags
We love to see what our readers are sewing! These lovely tote bags were made by Ginger Pahos, one of the women I met at an August BERNINA 830 LE VIP event.
