I have been very busy this week trying to get the finishing touches put on Christmas gifts. I've done so much hand sewn binding that I feel like my fingers are ready to bleed and I still have another quilt to go. Oy! It will be well worth it though when I get to enjoy the recipients opening their gifts. What about you, feeling that last push to the Holiday's yet? As this year has been quickly winding down I've been thinking about the projects I want to take on next year. I am really hoping to have more finishes under my belt next year. I feel like this year I've spent a ton of time sewing but not much time actually finishing projects. I've got a few projects lined up already for next year just waiting to get started on but I came across a few this week that I am sure I won't be able to resist. If you haven't seen these yet be sure to check them out.
I already love pretty much everything I have seen by Sweetwater and I was already excited about their new line Sunkissed. I was imagining all of the great quilts I could make with this line. So when this quilt along came up and I saw it popping up on multiple blogs that I read on a daily basis so I knew it was bound to be good. I can't wait to see what this
creative team comes up with.
And since I don't know how to do embroidery yet if anyone has helpful hints or a good place to start please let me know because I'm sure
Cory will be full of creative genius and I don't want to miss out.
Heya! I found the encyclopedia style over at InAMinuteAgo (http://inaminuteago.com/stitchindex.html) to be a great place to test the waters with embroidery. I also have a book called The Embroiderers Handbook (http://inaminuteago.com/stitchindex.html), which is great to use when the internet is not at my disposal. Good luck!
