‘Tis Christmas Time!
(2)
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, it’s time to decorate “the halls” and work on Christmas gifts. I am finding there are not enough hours in the day and I am sure some of you feel the same. I just finished a couple of gifts for the grandkids and thought I would share some … [View Details]
A Grandmother’s thoughts on Autism
(1)
I look at my autistic grandson – he is so ruggedly handsome – his hair tossled, a piece of flowery silk fabric wrapped around his neck, his beautiful big blue eyes with long eye lashes looking sad and semi pleading. On the one hand he hates parties, big gatherings of people, loud places; on the … [View Details]
A new/old idea for displaying your embroidery
(0)
Have you ever wondered what to do with all of those perfectly stitched out samples? I found a blog that uses handembroidery frames to display simple applique designs. Think how great this would look if we used some of Oma’s Place’s Fall or Christmas designs. Check out this blog here: http://thespeckleddog.blogspot.com/2010/09/my-new-obsession.html
A really great site!
(0)
Hi, all! Hope you all had a good weekend. I did – worked on lots of embroidery things, including some new bibs and burps designs. I think that little ladybug burp is so cute. If you leave the wording off and just put the design on a tshirt, I think it would look cute, too. … [View Details]

I haven’t written in a while – life gets so busy, doesn’t it? Today I want to share with you about a very special family. Krista and Josh Carson have 4 children of their own, one of which was born with Down Syndrome. The Carsons have felt lead by the Lord to adopt another … [View Details]
About my free embroidery designs
(1)
There have been some problems with the website and until they have been taken care of, free designs will only be available sporadically and with a particular project I might be posting. They will not be in a separate category as they have been but rather will be listed directly under the project I used … [View Details]
Advent at Oma’s Place
(0)
When I grew up in Germany, the 4 weeks before Christmas, Advent were special. For those 4 weeks we gathered on Sundays to work on Christmas projects, listen to Christmas music, eat Christmas cookies, and hear my Dad read Christmas stories to us. There was something magical about that time. I have from time to … [View Details]
Another Autism design
(8)
This is a large applique butterfly design. You may skip the applique part if you don’t want to do that and just sew the design directly onto a tote or tshirt etc. Alternately, you may also stitch the applique butterfly and omit the puzzle pieces. Enjoy.
Another happy Feliz dress and girl
(4)
I just wanted to share some photos of my new Feliz creation. This one is for our beautiful granddaughter Rileigh and she certainly does this dress justice, doesn’t she? I think she really liked it when we took it to her tonight. Her first day of kindergarten will be tomorrow. Oh, how time flies!! I … [View Details]
Another project finished
(0)
I just thought some of you might enjoy seeing what I did with some blanks from www.allaboutblanks.com. I just love Susan’s high quality blanks and fast service. This blanket is a cotton velour and the bear, too, is made of velour and both are super, super soft and cuddly. The design is mine and should … [View Details]
Another use of the butterfly set
(1)
Saarah, one of our granddaughters, gave me a pair of pants to repair. As I looked at the pattern of the little knit pants, I knew that I just HAD to match them with a little sweatshirt. I like to buy sweatshirts (kids’ and adults’) at the end of winter and so always have a … [View Details]
Another Vida Dress finished
(1)
I have been working feverishly all week on finishing Eliana’s Vida jumper. I like it – although it’s a little “springy” with flowers and butterflies. But we all need a little spring, even in the winter, right? It will be Eliana’s 2nd birthday tomorrow so I wanted to have it done for her second birthday … [View Details]
Applique fruit designs are here
(1)
As promised, I test stitched some applique fruit designs and I am pleased how they turned out. I hope you will be, too. They are relatively small and all fit into the 4×4 hoop and would work great on the tissue box cover project I posted a couple weeks ago. I used a special decorative … [View Details]

To help raise awareness to Autism and the need for education and … [View Details]
Apron for a friend
(0)
My best friend’s daughter is getting married in a week and I made her this little apron. I really like the “style”. It’s McCall’s M5720 and comes with a matching little girl’s apron. I might have to make this for some other family members again. It was fun to do. I tried to match the … [View Details]
