Custom-designed, embroidered pillows are now my go-to baby gift! Like the other 20×20 pillows, I used Embrilliance embroidery software to edit a birth announcement file purchased from Designs by JuJu. After completing the machine embroidery, I quilted it using ruler and free-motion quilting before adding the backing fabric and binding. The pillow’s border is made from Tula Pink’s purple “Hexie …
When my friend (and chiropractor) had her baby, Tiffany, she asked me to make 20″ x 20″pillows for her other two children because she loved the gift. Like the Tiffany pillow, I used Embrilliance embroidery software to edit a birth announcement file for Jason that was purchased from Designs by JuJu. After completing the machine embroidery, I quilted it using …
When my friend (and chiropractor) had her baby, Tiffany, she asked me to make pillows for her other two children because she loved the gift so much. Like the Tiffany pillow, I used Embrilliance embroidery software to edit a birth announcement file for Annabelle that was purchased from Designs by JuJu. After completing the machine embroidery, I quilted it using ruler …
This Autumn Harvest machine embroidered wall hanging was so fun to make. It measures 10″ x 10″ and is attached to a wooden base with string to hang it. The embroidery design was purchased from Embroidery Library and then I bought the wooden background at Hobby Lobby and attached it using Heat N Bond Ultra. The background fabric is from …
I had my knee replaced last December and was assigned to a physical therapist, Mari, who happened to be pregnant and due the exact same day as my chiropractor’s baby was due. It also turned out that I’ve known and worked with my physical therapist’s mom for about 25 years. It’s such a small world. Since I had a birth …
My chiropractor, Denise, recently gave birth to her third child, Tiffany Marie. When thinking about what I should give her as a baby gift, I remembered that quite a while back, I had purchased a few birth announcement embroidery templates from Designs by JuJu that I’ve not yet used. Instead of buying a gift, I decided to make her a …
This baby quilt is part one of a two-quilt set. This bear paw pattern baby quilt using bear fabrics measures approximately 36″ square and was made for our soon-to-be new family member. My great-niece is expecting her first child in March and his initials spell the name Mac. I’m almost done with a larger, matching companion quilt that measures about …
My grandson, Nolan, is five years old and a huge fan of the Transformers. His favorite character is Optimus Prime. This is a navy blue hoodie (Christmas gift) that I customized with machine embroidery. I purchased the Optimus Prime transformer embroidery file online and then I added the text using Embrillance Essentials. The font I used was purchased from Designs …
The pastor of our church is of Scottish descent. He has a navy blue tartan wool stole he wears over his robe each season of Advent. Someone made it for him many years ago. It’s a wool tartan design that belongs to his McIntyre clan in Scotland. I felt very honored when he asked me to embroider Nativity stars on …
For a few years, I’d been promising my daughter, Emily, I’d make custom Christmas stockings for her family. Every year she’d ask whether it’d be “this year” and, in 2020, it finally was. If I’m making a gift for someone then my rule is it can’t feel like work. I have to be, well, in the mood, so to speak, …
In the fall of 2018, I promised each of our daughters and daughter-in-law that I’d be making them a custom Christmas tree skirt. In 2018, two of them were completed and it wasn’t until the Christmas of 2020 that I got around to completing the other two. Here’s the Peanuts Gang quilted and embroidered tree skirt made for our son’s …
I’m so happy with how this set of placemats turned out! I purchased an inexpensive set of red placemats at Walmart and then machine embroidered Christmas carols in the top left corner of each and a holiday motif in the lower left. I had a jelly roll of Robert Kaufman metallic fabrics on hand and used a few of the …
