Welcome to My Embroidery Hobby!

Hello! Welcome to my blog. This is the place where I do a little of a lot. I am not really fantastic at one thing or hobby, only okay at a bunch of little things. But that is what makes it fun! I am also a major copycat crafter. I find things I like and then make my own, I rarely come up with good ideas on my own. So Thank You to all you crafters out there who give me great ideas and projects to do!

Madison & McKinley Applique Embroidered Blankets

Just some cute applique blankets for 4-year-old and 2-year-old sisters.

 McKinley's didn't sew out like I wanted. Grr... Her name was suppose to be a few inches below the wand star so it would be out of they way of the ribbon. Emma was sitting on my lap watching the embroidery machine do its thing when between thread color changes (just before stitching the name), she pushed the embroidery unit of the machine forward, causing the design to shift up. I didn't realize the design had actually shifted until the M was almost done, and embroidery isn't something you can just stop and pick out unless you are willing to spend a whole lot of time and the end result would just look weird on a fleece fabric like these blankets.
So *sigh*. Not exactly what I wanted but it was OK.
