Teaching Embroidery

I've taught a few embroidery classes over the years, but this past week I got to teach my granddaughter a few stitches and she took to so quickly, not only learning the stitches but creating her own designs!! Above is just the start of a very cool design.  I'll try to get a picture of it when it's all done.  Below is her first design, after embroidering her name on a pillow and the third picture is a pin cushion she made me to story all of my needles! Then she kindly separated out all of the pins from the needles!

Now she's back home learning to cook bagels and croissants with her Mom 🥰

Inspired Yet?

Are you inspired yet to put something fun on the backs of your quilts?  These are the last of my Jan McFarland quilt pictures.  I think it would be fun to do this!

The last two quilts pictured, I just got photos of the fronts of the quilts. 

I finally made it to the sewing room today!  I'm feeling productive 😊

Jan McFarland

I went to the CWQG Meeting this week and the speaker, Jan McFarland, talked about putting a little something extra on the backs of your quilts.  She showed examples and talked about them and then presented a trunk show of quilts where she put the ideas into practice.  I don't think I've ever been as excited to see the back of a quilt as much as the front!  It was such a fun program and very inspiring!

Here is a start on some pictures and I will share some more later ...

Telluride

We went to Telluride for a couple of days for Mike's birthday.  It was 25 degrees cooler than here, so we were very happy.  It was fun and relaxing 😊❤️


They do need to wash the gondola windows though 😂


Mike likes these flat caps and my brother found him one made of straw and more loosely woven, so it will be much cooler for the summer!!

The funny card is from our daughter.  Inside it says, "Things are only going up from here!"
