NEW! Jumbo Embroidery Font {Elegant}

I've had several customers {including my own mom!} ask about monogramming shower curtains.  I have the capability of doing very large designs, but I wasn't comfortable with stitching a letter {or 3-letter monogram} that large with the fonts I had.  I'm happy to say, I just bought an alphabet specifically designed to be stitched in 10"-11.5" letters!  And it is really pretty.  {Thank you applique corner!}

It came with lots of embellishments as well.  Isn't their sample pretty?!  Love the little flower spray embellishment.  This is what all of the letters look like . . .



And an example of a 3-letter monogram with some of the embellishments . . .

I just think it's so pretty!  I'm getting visions of throw pillows, little girls' dresses, shower curtains, blankets, towels, and all kinds of home decor goodies!  Here is the whole set I purchased . . .

It starts as small as 1.5" letters and goes up to 11.5".  Of course the large letter monogram will cost more than the typical monogram, but I'm not sure just yet what the charge will be.  I need to explore it a little more first!  Bring on the big projects!  I can't wait to try it out!

I need to update my designs in a major way.  I have many that are not posted on the pages here on the blog.  Just so little time - so many designs, but hopefully someday it will all get updated!  Here are a few others I just purchased from applique corner . . .

Stitched paw print {These are great for polo shirts for bigger boys!}

Stitched elephant foot print

Bulldog {can be done with or without bow}

With my big girl, I can never have too many flower designs!

Scallop patch {I like the ovalish shape for 3-letter monograms and names!}

Pumpkin embellishment {would be so sweet for kitchen towels or guest baths!}

Dots embellishment

There are TONS of great designs out there and I'm always willing to buy new ones.  Just check out this Aubie . . .

You just may see this on a dress for my girls this season! . . .

Lots of cute fall projects are sure to be coming soon!

I've been accumulating pictures of baby items for awhile.  It seems I just do a baby thing or two here and there, but recently I did a pretty big order for a new baby on the way.  So, it seemed like time to post the pics.  New baby also has a big brother and big sister . . .

This onesie is to match something else I did for big brother and big sister too . . .

This onesie was a gift for a friend of mine . . .

New baby's name is Bennett.   You can tell I'm digging the blue seer . . .

 

I think Bennett should be pretty stylin' . . .

 

A basic set I did a while back for a customer.  Sweet and simple . . .

This was for my girls' music teacher Ms. Stephanie.  She is a new grandmother and her grandmother name is "Sassy" . . .

 

This one I did a couple of months ago and had just acquired this font, fishtails.  As you can see from baby Bennett's things, I've used it a lot since I got it! . . .

As usual, I've done lots of sewing for girls over the past month.  This little cutey is 3-6 month size . . .  

 

Though you may be thinking 4th of July, this little bit's daddy is headed off to Iraq in the next month and she is wearing this for a special ceremony.

But before that, she will be wearing the smallest of these flip flop shirts to coordinate with her bigger cousins at the beach . . .

 

Speaking of beach . . .

 

SO sweet!

 

And I had to do a few things for my own girls before we went to the beach too . . .

Evynne has a yellow knit skort and Elly has capris to go with these.

 

And then of course we always have to have the white dress for beach pictures . . .

I was so lucky to find this at a Hollywood Baby sample sale for $5.  Yes, $5!  I think the regular price on it was something in the $80 range.  It was the only one and it was a size 5.  And guess what?!  It is the exact same dress I had in a 2 for Elly because Evynne had worn it three years ago.  Now that was a great find.  All it needed was a sweet monogram.
And some people are already thinking football . . .

 

LOVE this design for little girls!

 

Can you tell what my favorite fabric/color scheme has been for the spring summer?! . . .

And then lastly, a couple more for my girls to match the skirts Aunt Malli knitted for them . . .

I ADORE this new polka dot fabric and this precious design!
