Calendar Days


December's embroidery
club project is up! You can download it anytime. This month's project may appear daunting at first, but it's really lots of fun to make. It includes a variety of different techniques, patchwork, quilting, embroidery, covering buttons, binding, etc. The embroidery is pretty simple, but there is lots of it. Having two sewing machines was a real time saver - I recommend it highly. While I was embroidering on one, I was quilting on the other. Twice the work, half the time.



 These mini motifs are cute as a button!


Covering buttons is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Remember, you'll need lots and lots of buttons for covering - so order quick. Patricia (Sault Ste Marie), suggested that she might stitch the days of the week on one fabric strip, instead of using the covered buttons. Good idea if you can't get enough buttons for your class. There will be a run on them!
