katmom	Posted - Mar 15 2020 : 6:47:08 PM Today was a perfect day to spend with my embroidery machine..between phone calls that is... I played with a few patterns.. I also decided to embellish my newest made apron,, and a new mug rug for me... I really need to buy a new camera,, my photos are terrible and I am having issues down loading the photos.. or... maybe I will just go play some more in my sewing room... I can always go on-line and buy a camera.. lolol! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com

katmom	Posted - Mar 17 2020 : 6:23:10 PM and with a machine,, I tend to finish them... rather then have a stash of PHD's... lol! Today was yoyo sewing day.. and now I am working on a wee wool felt project.. hopefully I will get it finished up tonight. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
Red Tractor Girl	Posted - Mar 17 2020 : 5:07:04 PM Wow, Grace, those quilts with the machine embroidery turned out so nice!! Plus it is rewarding to be able to finish something up sooner!! Winnie #3109 Red Tractor Girl Farm Sister of the Year 2014-2015 FGOTM- October 2018
katmom	Posted - Mar 17 2020 : 08:59:34 AM It also makes for a quick project.. I machine embroidered a friends name and a flower on an over sized mug rug.. She was going through Chemo,,, I sent this along with a rose deco'd tea cup and some herbal tea.. I am happy to say she is 3 years cancer free! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
katmom	Posted - Mar 17 2020 : 08:55:28 AM here a few of my mini quilts that have machine stitch embroidery.. I want to do another one,, but bigger,, in a tea theme... the next 2 photos are of a quilt that is a combo of hand and machine embroidery.. I actually don't mind mixing the 2 types of stitchery in a project.. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
katmom	Posted - Mar 17 2020 : 08:41:04 AM Winnie, I did these on my 7 y/o Brother machine,, it still works great.. I did buy a new one several months ago, that can stitch up 5x7 designs as well... and I agree... embellishing pillow cases, aprons, T-shirts or what ever. is fun... My close-up vision is so poor that I can only hand stitch for about 15min... before my eyes go wonky on me,, so having the embroidery machine is just another avenue for my creativity.. I plan to make a machine embroidery quilt,,, I will stitch up 9 or 12 blocks depending on the block size... and stitch the blocks with a print or other complimentary fabric.. Kind of like the little garden quilt block banner I did 2 years ago.. But that will be a project down the road... Hopefully not a PHD (project 1/2 done).. snorks-n-giggles... >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
Red Tractor Girl	Posted - Mar 17 2020 : 05:21:29 AM Wow, Grace!! These examples of embroidery with your machine are really pretty and they add such beautiful details to all of your projects. One of the things I love are a embroidered pillowcases that sometimes I can find in antique stores. Now you can make them just the way you want and with the colors you lke best. This machine is amazing! Winnie #3109 Red Tractor Girl Farm Sister of the Year 2014-2015 FGOTM- October 2018
katmom	Posted - Mar 16 2020 : 9:17:28 PM Heather, I did these designs on my 4x4... the mug rug one is about 3.5 x 3.5 and is a built in design, but all the other ones are patterns I bought at " embroiderydesigne " on line. Oh Judith,, bummer, that you are not using your machine.. What brand is it? It took me awhile to get use to switching out threads,, and down loading and uploading.. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
nndairy	Posted - Mar 16 2020 : 2:00:31 PM Love the apron and the mug rug!! What size is it? My machine does 4x4". The only thing I'd change is mine would be purple LOL!! I agree with Judith - your pictures look good to me. I bet with your deal finder ability you'd be able to get a bargain on a camera if you put your mind to it! ~Heather Farmgirl Sister #4701 September 2014 Farmgirl of the Month "The purpose of life is to enjoy every moment" - Yogi teabag
StitchinWitch	Posted - Mar 16 2020 : 1:07:42 PM Everything looks very nice. I don't think you need a new camera; the pictures are great but if you need an excuse then go ahead and treat yourself. I have an embroidery machine but found I just didn't have the patience for it so it's looking for a new home. Judith 7932 Happiness is Homemade
