Embroideries Finished - YEAH

I finished my initial holiday embroidery projects this week and finally took some photos to post here. The towels look great in our pink 50's bathroom! And the tablecloth looks better than the photo - my chalk markings didn't exactly wash out today either! Oops!

Now it's on to finish a bunch of embroidered gift items and the tree skirt - which I hope to get done by Christmas Day!!!!

Christmas Embroidery - Finally!

OK - so I finally am getting around to putting the embroidery machine to some work with some Christmas embroidery projects. I am working on a tablecloth that I hope to finish in the next couple of nights!

And I made up a few towels as well - still have to stitch the border fabric to the towels but i'll take some photos of the completed projects at some point in the next week or so.

A new Welcome sign in time

I was able to finish machine quilting and bind a new Welcome hanging just in time before guests arrived today for drinks and dinner. I started working on this project last month with embroidering the fall-letters on the yellow fabric and last weekend I pieced everything together. It's about 70 inches in lenght and 12 inches in width. I just did some free-hand machine quilting with varigated brown/tone thread.
