Happy Easter!



The March Embroidery Club Project is up! I am soooo pleased with this month's project and embroidery. These table linens are so fresh and pretty and perfect for spring and summer. The cutwork tulips turned out even better than I expected; and very versatile. You can use these designs in so many places. Of course, as table linens, but also for bed linens, towel trims and even clothing. I can even see the scallops edging a pretty sheer curtain or shade.

I used the Edge Joining foot when I made my samples, but Patricia from Sault Ste. Marie prefers the Left Edge Topstitch foot. She says,

I love the left edge topstitching foot for sewing down hems--no puckering, no shifting and straight even stitching everytime  and I also really like the Heritage embroidery snips with their long, slender, curved blades--perfect for cutwork and snipping jump stitches. They are #140001046 "5 1/2" Machine Embroidery Scissors.



Getting ready for Easter brunch? Just add the napkin wrap.
