I just visited www.connectingthreads.com and was very surprised to see just how many free patterns they have available for download. They have some nice looking tote patterns as well as many free quilting blocks. Check them out. I really like their “style” and hope you do, too. Am not associated with them just like what … [View Details]
One more dress for Saarah
(3)
Just finished this Farbenmix dress “Henrika”. I have to admit that the stitching out of the heart wreath was a pain. I broke 5 needles doing so. Stitchout time for the wreath alone was 1 1/2 hrs, and at least another hour for just “fringing” it. I do like the outcome but my Singer XL … [View Details]

Butterfly Towel Alphabet

Several of you have written and asked about the alphabet that I used for the “Abby” towel. I used a ttf called “A T & Love” and put it through Embird Studio. If you have Embird or a similar program, you can download the ttf here: http://www.searchfreefonts.com/free/a-t-love.htm I am planning on coming up with a … [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]
Towel I just finished
(1)
Just finished digitizing the designs for this towel and I really like the way it stitched out. Again, I used graphics purchased from DigiScrapKits. Her art is so versatile. I stitched out the butterfly and Abby’s name when I realized that the border at the other end had a “blemish”. Although usually I don’t embroider … [View Details]

Happy Advent to all
(4)
When I grew up in Germany, Advent (the 4 weeks before Christmas) was a very special time of preparing for the upcoming Holiday. We spent it baking cookies, making presents for each other, caroling at nursing homes and trying to help those less fortunate. Every Sunday night we would get together as family and listen … [View Details]
