Gingerbread Fun Quilted Wallhanging

17
Oct

This fun little quilt was inspired by a similar design by my friend Deborah Shoaf.

The main difference between mine and hers is that mine are machine embroidered applique gingerbread men and her ginger guys (different style), were stitched on the sewing machine.

I alternated the smaller ginger gals and guys with the whole and “bitten” versions. It always draws a chuckle at shows!

FSL & Applique Poinsettia Angel

11
Dec

My second Heirloom Lace Angel is designed in a more modular manner to make it easier for stitching in smaller hoops.

I’ve also significantly reduced the stitch count on this angel by using appliques for the skirt panels. She also is designed for multiple colors.

No extra sewing is required to finish this angel; she’s assembled by lacing with ribbon. The Poinsettia Angel works better hanging and needs support to stand on her own.

Lace Heart Box & Sachet

07
Feb

This free-standing lace heart box or sachet can be stitched in hoops as small as 4×4 but you will have to piece the box side panels.

Applique panels are included for inserting into the box lid and bottom. An additional heart design is included for the sachet liner.

Hand or machine stitching is required only to connect the side panels to make them continuous. The box bottom is laced to the sides with ribbon.

A small area in the center of the heart is digitized so that a small monogram or small design (a tiny rosebud is included with the set) can be added.

Includes 16 pages of fully illustrated step-by-step instruction PDF for embroidering lace, assembling the box and sachet, and creating free-standing applique.

FSL Heirloom Angel

12
Dec

This exquisite heirloom lace angel is composed of two pieces. Her skirt “buttons” up the back and the head and wings nestle into slots in the skirt. She can be easily unbuttoned flat for storage or shipped.

If you have a large hoop (200x300mm), she can be sewn in two pieces with no jumps or trims in just one color. She’s also split for smaller (5×7 and larger) hoops where you’ll need to do a bit more work to put her together.

This is a high stitch count design but with a smooth-running machine and a large hoop, she shouldn’t require any fussing once she starts stitching.

Perfect as a tree topper or a mantle decoration, angels are becoming popular as year-round decorations, not just for Christmas.

Hardanger Candlewrap

23
Jul

Make a candle wrap by combining 3 designs as free-standing appliqué and ribbon lacing to secure in place. A ribbon laced up the back and tied with a bow secures the wrap.

The openwork designs in this set use a combination of cutwork and free-standing lace techniques to create the appearance of drawn thread work used in hand-stitched hardanger needlework.

Perfect Man Apron

08
Aug

I used a purchased apron and prepared it for embroidery by appliquéing a doily using a zigzag stitch and invisible thread.

If you only have a 5×7″ hoop, you’ll need three separate hoopings to complete the stitching for the top lettering, the applique, and the bottom lettering.

Since the three designs are distinct, close enough hooping is just fine.

Have a larger hoop? You can combine the 3 designs and stitch in one hooping.

There are various versions of the text portion so you can also customize for the “Perfect Woman.”

I stitched this same design on a sweatshirt for a friend and got a lot of “make me one” comments. The apron always draws chuckles at shows!

Gingery Christmas Quick Gifts

08
Aug

Christmas gifts don’t have to be elaborate or take days to make. You can make any of these in under an hour.

I stitched “Ginger Cookies” (design #5 in the set) onto a purchased circular doily and then laced some ribbon through the crochet edging to secure the topper over a jar. Voila! Instant gift! This project easily translates to other designs.

The other two jar toppers use applique and quilting techniques and require a bit more time. The round checkered one with “Santa” stitched in the middle has a layer of fleece added for a bit more loft. I pinked the edges of my squares before hooping. If raw edges bother you, you could finish the edges or use cocktail napkins.

The pink one uses the same circular applique design to stitch to squares of fabric together.

Free-standing applique methods are used to stitch the gingerman ornament and gift tag. Any of the applique ginger cookie designs can be used. Keep in mind that if you choose the ones with the bite taken, you’ll lose the crumbs.

The gift tag requires more work to edit in the greeting because you’ll want to rearrange the stitching order to have a clean back.… Read the rest
