My Latest Project

I'm always looking for new projects to start. I really like to sew so I've tried quilting and have made a few quilts that are pretty cute if I do say so myself. I tried knitting but unless it's something small like a scarf I get bored cuz it takes way too long before you have something to show for all that work. My latest thing is embroidery. I saw this cute phrase somewhere so I decided I wanted to make a decorative pillow. I found a witches shoe, put it on word, copied and flipped it, then typed out the phrase below it how I wanted it. I printed it then traced it onto a piece of fabric, ironed on the shoe I cut out, embroidered the words and presto! A cute new Halloween decoration.

How adorable!! I'm wondering (please don't laugh) how did you do the embroidery?? Does your machine do it, or do you do it by hand? I embarrassed to ask, but I honestly don't know. It's so cute though!

AND you love to sew??!! What a great bonus!! I sew for a living, and this is ADORABLE!! Seems like every other blog I read is about how much people hate to sew, or craft, or whatever, so it's refreshing to hear that I am not alone!!!
