PINTEREST PROJECT: Embroidery Girls

I found this image on Pinterest and wanted to create an embroidery in a wooden loom using an old feed sack for material. 

I printed out the picture and placed it on the feed bag. (I initially tried using tracing paper but it wasn't transferring onto the fabric well. ). So I went ahead and just sewed right over the paper. 

Once most of the outline was completed I pulled/ripped the paper out. And then added more details and colors. 

The girls are adorable. 

Next I added a quote about friendships. (Also found on Pinterest with unknown author) 

 "Side by side or miles apart, dear friends are always close to the heart." 

It means a lot as many of my close friends live afar. 

Then trimmed the edges. And it is complete once I hang it on the wall. 

LOVE IT!  

PROJECT LIFE: Embroidered Cards

 I adore Amy Tangerine's products especially the new Plus One collection with Kal Barteski designs included.  I decided to post a note showing how I use her Embroidery Designs. They are so easy to use and inspire me to create my own style while making cards. The elements can be added to anything, but I use them for my Project Life album.  Enjoy! 

I pick out a few cards and just go for it.  I some times know what I will use the cards for, and others I just make to have for future use.  It is easier for me to make a bunch at a time versus as I go.  Great way to spend time while watching TV.

I took the "N" off NEAT and made an EAT card to add a meal to.

Cute card for a Date Night.

Used a card that had BRAND NEW printed.  Then took DAY out of the TODAY design and added an arrow. 

Created a card for my Artsy Friends :) 

I have added a few words since taking this photo such as TRUE, OPEN, ALTER, FABRIC, etc.  Was a fun challenge to fit in words.

A dog bone for Barkley.

One of my own creation that I will use this for my Hello Love week that has a somewhat astrology theme.

Tomorrow will be a fun day of Project Life as I foresee being Snowed In due to Winter Storm Pax.
