Sewing Gal (Rachel) is moving to AR

One of our sewing gals "Rachel" is moving to AR with her son in end of June 2011. We gave her a going away get together at Bonnie Ruth's in Allen. Rachel has been a good friend and an excellant sewing gal in our little circle. Her own unique creativities brought to our group so much ideas and her philosophy of "don't be afraid to try it" reminds me of "just do it" We all learn from our mistakes, we never find out if our projects will work if we don't give it a try. We will miss you Rachel M. keep in touch with us. Here is a picture of our gathering.

first post of year 2011...with pictures

I can't believed that it's been almost a year since my last post on my blog. I feel bad that I have been slacking off....the reason that I haven't post anything is because I haven't been sewing or embroidery. I recently meet up with my sewing gals and I got inspired by some of their sewing ideas and projects. I said to myself....it's time to turn on my machines and get busy. Ok. Since this is the first post of year 2011 (LOL) I will  post all my sewing project pictures. I made a pillowcase dress for myself and for my American Girl dolls. It was a fun project and as you can see I made a lot of dresses. I also made couple of tutu skirts just for fun.

First project of the year 2010 - Monogram Aprons

I have to confess that I haven't been sewing or embroidery for LONG TIME!!!! It's not that I don't do it anymore, it's just that I have been learning something different like "web desing" and taking "photoshop classes". Anyway, a co-worker of mine needed some monogram on aprons, she asked if I can do it, "of course, I can". I was glad I did it for her and all the aprons turned out very pretty. Here is a video clip. Happy stitching!

American Girl Doll Arrived !!!
