Playing with my machine

I got this pattern from Embroidery Library for $1.00. I love this sight on the Internet. They have 1/2 price and $1.00 sales all the time. it makes it very affordable to but designs. I like one color embroidery.
I found this frame at the $ General Store near me for $2.00. I think it is just perfect for this embroidery.
I got all 3 frames and will do 2 more for gifts.

It makes gift giving a fun thing when it doesn't cost you a arm and a leg.

Yesterdays prolect

I stitched these out on the embroidery machine yesterday. They are going In Christmas cards.
I put a note on the back to be used for tree ornament or a book mark.
I made them flat to mail in a card.

One more and counting

One more finished. This is for a guy . I thought the print fabric looked like a neck tie fabric.I think Tom will like this . He loves his suits and ties.

The count down has started to get things finished and in the mail all over the country.

I am waiting on DD Jennie to send me the quilts she is quilting for me so I can get them bound and mailed in time. HO! HO! HO!

Yes! Still doing throws.

The weather here is great. It just now acts like early fall.
Not a bad place for the winter!!

I have all the throws done but one and it's 1/2 way done now.


One more address cover for Christmas.

I think I have one more cover to make and that will be all the address covers this year.

Some more

Here are the ornaments I have made for family and friends The mouse is for DS Donna she loves them. The center front one is for Ruth and Geo. my former boss and husband.

I made my kids and grand kids the tree this year.

Some things I have been working on

Hi all!
These are some of my Christmas gifts I have been working on. I by the throws and crochet around them and embroider the names or the first letter of their name on them. It is a little more personal that way.

This one Is for my uncle and aunt, in Washington. I made them a special ornament as you can see. They love to gamble.

I used the 5 FQ's I messed up and 2 more to make this on. I made all the blocks the same way and used one fabric for part of it. I just turned the middle row and just staggered them. It's not a great work of art but I like it better than the other ones. It will keep someone warm.
And yes NW it does go very fast. I think they take longer to cut than to sew up.
I have been trimming some fleece throws and I think I am going to embroidery on them. I will post a photo when I finish some of them.
