Embroidery Project

I seem to be in quite a sharing mood!  Creativity is flowing and I love to share!  How about you?

I started this little hoop with a wheat motif, but I have become stumped. It needs something . . . .

Thinking that I will need another color to offset the design . . . maybe . . . .

Lots of choices of color . . . 

Sometimes when I get stuck on a project, I put it aside and leave it alone for a while.  When I come back to it, sometimes I have a new idea.  Sometimes I don't, and it sits a while longer . . . .

Any ideas?  Ever gotten stuck on a project?  What do you do?  

Santa Ornies

On Monday, I shared with you about my technique for saving time when sewing multiple pieces of a product that I was working on. (See post.) Promised to show the finished ornies!  I'm not quite finished, but progressing . . .

Will try a few other decorative differences . . . but basically . . . Santa!

Work finished!

On the 8th of this month, I shared some of my work in progress--see post.    (I reserve Thursday's for my work in progress post!)  I was working half market aprons.

If you remember, I asked for some help in picking out fabric combinations.  I didn't make a big deal of it, but I mentioned that I would send a prize to one of my lucky commenters! (It helps to read carefully to win! :) I chose this set of coasters with a tan coffee drink print on one side and beautiful pink and cocoa hearts on the other to give away!

So, since there was only one comment, I didn't need to use a random selector!  The prize goes to Edi of Etsy's memoriesforlifesb shop! She is a fellow blogger and I appreciate her faithfulness to comment regularly on my blog posts.  Thanks Edi! (Please visit her blog)  Also, Edi has a brand new studio decorated in pink! I think these should match nicely!  Love ya! Edi!

Oh . . . and . . . here are a few of my finished aprons:

And the combination that Edi chose:

Thanks Edi!  

P.S.  You could also use the coasters for wine coasters with your etched wine glasses ;)
