12 years agoWe are searching for quilting (embroidery) designs to use on a Japanese fan quilt with 12 inch on point blocks. Originally wanted to do sashiko but is daunting to do by hand. Would love love love to get this queen sized bed quilt completed with quilting via embroidery technique.
Denise Holguin
12 years ago AUTHORHi Marcia,
Wow! Sounds like it will be a beautiful project! Will you be keeping this project or is it a gift?
When you mentioned Japanese fan quilt– I immediately thought of our friends at Anita Goodesign. You might stop by their website to take a look at their quilting embroidery designs:
http://www.anitagoodesignonline.com/category/browse-designs/quilting-2/
Also Embroidery Online (OESD)
http://www.embroideryonline.com/products/newsearch.aspx?search=quilting
And… Amazing Designs:
http://amazingdesigns.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?limit=60&q=quilting
There are tons more out there and I could probably spend the entire day window shopping! I’m sure whatever you decide will look great. Happy Stitching Marcia!

12 years agoI have been working on blocks for an embroidered quilt. It will have a different butterfly on each block. I’ve collected a LOT of butterflies and am now embroidering some and auditioning more to find the final choices.
Denise Holguin
12 years ago AUTHORHi Toni,
I love butterflies too! What fabric color scheme are you going with?
I’m not sure if you’re on our Facebook page, but one of our fans posted a butterfly quilt she made… it’s super nice. I’m hoping this link will work:
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=301930136540132&set=o.162029163819622&type=3&theater
If not, stop by our Facebook page, go to our Wall Photos album and look for a quilt made by Jody Tippi Rodarmel.
You’ll have to share a photo when the quilt is complete! (Or even a work in progress!)
Happy Stitching!

Denise Holguin
12 years ago AUTHORNancy,
I love the cupcake theme and what a great idea!
I happened to come across this post on our Facebook page from our friends at OregonPatchWorks, I’m passing it along to you.. a cute Cake Shop Wall Hanging from Erina’s Designs. http://www.oregonpatchworks.com/items.php?did=50227&pid=116218
Hope you’re able to take a break or two to a cooler, well-air conditioned space.
Best of luck to you and your friend.

12 years agoI am currently doing appliqué pink ribbons for a fund raiser for my daughter-in-law’s mother who has cancer in her bones. They are rising money to send her to Hawaii. My sin’s band and a bunch of other bands are doing a benefit concert and they will sell the ribbons. I am also embroidering can kookiness for my daughter’s work golf tournament to raise money for brain cancer. Will embroider a set of towels for the auction also. Last but not least, I am monogramming a set of towels for a wedding present.

12 years agoRight now I am making a label for a wall hanging. I also have two Hoop Sister quilts in progress. All of the blocks for Earth to Quilter and Goose Tracks are finished. I just need to sew them together and bind them.
Shirley
12 years agoI have my fabrics bought, pre-washed and ready to go for the Stipple Butterfly quilt design that I purchased at a Stitchin Sisters event about 2 years ago. This will be exciting to do, now that I have more time to devote to sewing for the next five months or so. i want to make this a full size quilt, so will need to figure out how to make it larger. Also, I am going to be embroidering (flat) mylar Christmas ornaments to include in my Xmas cards to special friends and family again this year. These were a real hit last year; they are sparkly, easy, economical and fun to do.
Gail Beam
12 years agoI need to embroider some a towel for my daughter, as she wanted to know where hers was when I gave my grandchildren theirs!

Pam M
12 years agoI am working on an apron for a gift exchange. There will be machine embroidered “baking” type words and phrases, along with kitchen motifs in a sort of scrapbook-like collage over parts of the apron. Was supposed to start it at a sewing day at a friend’s house yesterday but I had packed up everything except my hoop! I was so frustrated when I discovered what I had done. So that’s my weekend task – get the embroideries happening.
Denise Holguin
12 years ago AUTHORHi Pam,
A gift exchange sounds fun! I can imagine a small fight breaking out because everyone wants your apron! 🙂
Must have been super frustrating to forget the hoop! I’ve had the same challenge in other areas of my life… going to the gym without gym shoes… going to the office without all my work materials.
On the bright side you’ll have a fun weekend stitching!

Kay
12 years agoI’m currently trying to get my sewing room cleaned out, so I can begin (and hopefully finish) my daughter’s first-day-of-kindergarten outfit – 18 more days!!! I have an order of 17 shirts to embroider a Stearman biplane with my dad’s N-number on them. The order should bring me around $600, which I’ve probably already spent on fabric and designs this summer!!!
eileenroche
12 years ago AUTHORHi Kay – love the Stearman t-shirts. My dad had a Stearman for 20 years. My childhood memories are filled of that great airplane and time spent with my Dad. Hope your t-shirts come out beautifully!

12 years agoI just finished enhancing the neckline on a dress this morning for my mom to wear to my brother’s step-son’s wedding this afternoon. Procrastinate??? Not me… I started on 150 FSL crosses for my daughters’ service organization. They are handouts at the convention next March. Not waiting on these. Finished nine today between naps, hee hee.

12 years agoI am working on a lap quilt for my in-laws. It is a Southwestern theme, which they have decorated their house with. Perfect for those chilly evenings sitting in the family room.
Mary Haggenmaker
12 years agoWhere do I begin! I have 18 shirts that my son-in-law needs his company name on. I need to restock my inventory of kitchen towels and FSL bells that I embroider for Craft shows that I will be going to, starting in November. I just got a whole lot of material that is just so beautiful from a lady who is helping her sister that has Alzheimers. That material is calling to me for so many different projects. I think an embroidered quilt might be the one that gets the nod…maybe. There are ribbons for so many different illnesses. Do you know whether there is a particular color for Alzheimers?

I put their wedding picture, names and date married on the larger pillow to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.
