New Flickr Group

I’ve been getting some project photos from John Stam at Brampton Sew N Serge and Patricia from Life’s a Stitch in Sault Ste. Marie, so I though it would be great to have a place where we can share project photos. That’s where Flickr comes in. I’ve created a new Flickr group for Sew Creative Embroidery Club Project pictures. Please have a look. I don’t have too many photos up yet, but you can help. You can actually upload photos yourself, post topics for discussion, etc.

I hope that you decide to participate.

Tea for Two

The October Embroidery Club project and designs are up and ready, click here for download. I liked this project idea from the start. It’s pretty, practical and easy to make. Three very important qualities in a good project. Plus the wallet and cover make a great gift idea. With Christmas not too far away, this is very important. Add some specialty teas and a pretty cup and you have a gift truly worth giving.

More Casserole Carrier stuff

John Stam at Brampton Sew N Serge sent along a couple of pictures of the casserole carrier that he did for his class.



Very nicely done John! He says in his email:

“Hi Snez, had great fun making the carrier, was easy to plan and assemble thank you for all your work.

… I made one using the serger for serger bias. I used 30wt Sulky blendables didn't have the 12wt, would have been better result I think. Thanks again John”



I think it turned out pretty darn good.

Some Nice Words

Patricia, my proof reader from Sault Ste Marie, had a chance to work on the casserole carrier before I made it live. She has some comments and tips:

I must say that I was not looking forward to putting the binding on this project but so far it has gone on without a hitch.  I just have the outside binding to apply and will do that tomorrow.  I used my adjustable bias binder to attach the binding to the handles and since I wanted to make my own binding and wasn't sure of what width would work I went back to the Jewelry Roll project and found what I needed but did not use the fusible web.  I did not try the edge joining foot to sew down the second side of the binding but used my left edge topstitch foot instead and it worked great.  I really like the way the casing is "magically" made and instead of a string or ribbon I may use my smallest bias tape maker to make a narrow tie.  Will have to see if it will fit in the casing.  Great project and easy to do and should be easy to present  to a class.
Thanks,
Patricia



Dianne from Knit-N-Stitch from New Minas, NS just joined, she says:

What a awesome project!  I just finished printing the instructions and your teaching tips and ideas and I can hardly wait to get started.  Everything I need is here and so well done.  Thank you so much!

And Yvette from Pine Ridge Knit & Sew emailed me with her kind words:

Thanks Snez, it's lovely, we'll have a great day stitching this out.

Thanks all for the kind words.
