Machine Embroidery Heaven!!

Hello!

Well I have gotten in the past couple of months 2 new embroidery software toys!!! Just wish I felt better to play with them more.

The first one I have already posted about. It is Bernina Artista Designer Plus Version 6. I have played with it a bit and I am in love!!! It is totally awesome. I still can’t believe the toys they have added to Version 6.

The 2nd one is the Bernina Cutwork Attachment!! I am still learning it but I am in love with it. I am in the process of reading the manual so I can learn it and write a class to teach it. It will allow me to do cutwork embroidery with the machine doing the cutting for me!!!

I will post more on it later!

I am doing ok and actually sewed a bit!

I am doing a bit better. Still a rollercoaster ride. Can go from not bad to a huge headache and feeling like I was hit by a bus in 10 minutes!

I was able to make 2 vests and a floor length embossed velveteen coat!! It was beautiful! I will post a picture of the coat when I get one. I am emailing the person I made it for to see if I can get a photo. Unfortunately in my Vicodin haze I did not take one. I may make myself a version of it.

Hugs to off will post more later.

Mikey’s Birthday Banner

I was asked to make a banner for a friends birthday!!! Since I do good fabric I said sure.

I was told he hates flamingos, pink and tacky stuff. So my little brain got to thinking (and we all know exactly how scary that is!) So I decided to make it white with a flamingo border, pink letters and an Airstream trailer with a satilite dish and  palm trees. Then I decided it needed something more. But I just could not put my finger on it!

I thought a while (I know there I go thinking again) and thought needs metallic thread and rhinestones!!! Lots of rhinestones!

The pictures!

So below is a picture!! Isn’t it jus fabulous
