An oldie but a goodie!




















Thanks to my "sister-in-law", Andrea, I was reminded of my old sewing days BEFORE all the embroidery. She recently requested this pillow for a baby boy. I had fun coordinating the fabrics and getting back to "basic" sewing.

I have done alphabet letter pillows in the past, as well as more decorative pillows embellished with home decor fabrics, fringe, piping, etc.  I'll have to dig those "old fashioined" pictures out and scan them to my blog so you can see!

I've already got orders for "baptism/christening" pillows! Even one for a teacher made from the school colors! Clever!!

I used to hand paint the names on personalized pillows... NOW, I can embroider it!

I {heart} Appliques!!



I FINALLY learned how to do applique's on my machine!
It's SO easy, I can't believe intimidation kept me from all this fun!!




Wanna Slice?

LOVE it! I embroidered "Mrs." and "Mr." on bath towels and then the "B" on two hand towels for my cousin's wedding shower that was hosted by myself and my mom. We literally threw this together to use as a centerpiece for the gift table, and voila!
