More Tissue Holders

Here are two more tissue holders:

This is the back of the one on the right from the top:

Witches Shoe Applique

I love this applique!! I did the zig zag stitch finish, but it also comes in a satin stitch finish. I can't wait to use this for Annamarye!

Tissue Holder and Fall

Last year I went to Christmas Village for the first time and bought some small tissue holders as gifts. I knew there had to be a pattern and a way to make them using my embroidery machine. It took a while, but I finally found a design!

They are so easy to make!! They are great small gifts and would be great stocking stuffers!

Candy Corn applique - great for Fall and Thanksgiving!

Pumpkin Applique - another one that is great for Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving!

Hodge Podge

Here are a few others things I have done lately. I did this towel for a friend to give to her summer babysitter. I just love the pink and lime green!

I did these towels for my niece's new apartment.

I did this apron for my niece as well.

Back to School

I can't believe it is back to school time! Where has the summer gone?! My niece started her first year of teaching today! She is teaching 2ND grade in Tuscaloosa. The theme of the entire school this year is jungle. I made a few things for her classroom to help her get started!

She has two windows, so I made a simple green and white gingham valance for each one.

Right now this chair is in her apartment. It will soon be in her classroom, so I made this cushion.
I also made 22 of these chair pockets (chair backs). They were so easy to make! I found free directions online. I used a lightweight denim fabric so they would last and not show dirt. She has 17 children in her class right now, so that gives her a few extras.

Of course James and Annamarye wanted one after seeing Lanie's chair pockets. Here's what they picked out:

I have been working on some fall designs I will be posting later this week!

Vacation

Hello to those who read! I hope you are having a wonderful summer! I have done a few things and have bought some great new designs for the fall and holidays. I just haven't had time to stitch them out! We are having a great summer and since things are slow right now, I am taking the month of July off. I will be back in August! Enjoy your summer!

Thinking ahead

Annamarye has a tank top dress that I put a flip flop applique at the bottom. She wants a beach ball on the top. Here's the sample I did. I haven't done hers yet, but I will post it when I do. Hopefully it will be this weekend!

I went to a sample sale and bought Annamarye a few things for the fall. I bought this for me! I added the "M" and now I'm ready for Bama Football!!

That got me thinking about Fall and Football. Here's a football applique and a pumpkin applique.
