These would be great for adding monograms to sachets, handkerchiefs or other small projects. The pattern for the Floral Alphabet is available as a pdf to download here.
I have the pleasure today of introducing my very first guest contributor to Super Mom – No Cape and I have to admit that I’m pretty excited because not only is she a wonderful teacher whose students adore her, she is our oldest daughter, Krystal. She has a great teaching aide to share with you today, complete with a tutorial…
When I saw these heart patterns, I immediately thought of embroidering them to turn into sachets. They’d also make really pretty pincushions to include in a sewing kit as a wedding gift. After embroidering, I cut them to size and sewed them together with a backing fabric the same size. To make the pretty edging, I did a blanket stitch…
Just a couple of small finishes to share this week as I’ve mostly been working on the pattern for Lexie the Hexie Turtle. Getting the turtle eyes right has proven to be a challenge. Our middle daughter declared one version of the eyes as really creepy so it was back to the drawing board so to speak to come up…

As yesterday was the first Friday of the month, Cheryl over at Gone Stitchin’ was once again hosting Friday Night with Friends. FNwF is a virtual sew-in similar to FNSI hosted by Heidi and Bobbie on the last Friday of each month. And since I already had a project I wanted to work on, I signed up to sew…
These beautiful Fabric Art Journal Covers began as simple fabric panels that were embellished with hand quilting, embroidery and beads. The embellishing of the two fabric bird panels began in July of 2012. The original post can be found here with updates on my progress here, here and here. I had originally intended to turn the completed panels into a…
