Embroidery Guild

Last evening was the St. John's Guild of Embroiderers monthly meeting. Here are the ATC's that were received during March.

For the last couple of months, trinket/jewelery boxes were embroidered and constructed. The design for the embroidery was sketched by several ladies of the program committee. The box design is from the book, Hand-Stitched Boxes by Meg Evans. The inside is constructed from silk.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I'm not much into quilted or stitched heart stuff and as a result didn't post any free patterns from any of the sites I visit. However, I just came across something on twitter that is useful. It's an altered heart shaped candy box tutorial. Recycle that candy box that you received today and turn it into a pincushion or storage box for applique . . . This tutorial is a great way to practice free motion stitching too.
 Alice Burke also has a bunch of tutorials using new & recycled materials.

Here's a pattern for a heart tote bag.

Now just think what I would find if I was really looking for this stuff!!
Happy quilting and stitching.
