Bows, Ribbons, & Lace

NEW THIS WEEK - December 6th, 2006:


Ribbons, Bells, & Bows

"It's the most wonderful time of the year!" Embroidery machines are humming and hearts are a-glowing as decorating and gift wrapping get into high gear. As it begins to look a lot like Christmas, the designs this week will wrap us all in good holiday cheer.
 

Try your hand at lace projects! Create amazing bows of freestanding lace with three designs to adorn gift packages and decorate wreaths, swags, trees, and garlands. Three lacy bells make beautiful ornaments for the tree. And three ornament covers for glass balls, also in freestanding lace, make unique gifts and tree decorations.

 

If everything good comes in threes, look to the trio designs -- reindeer to snowbirds, Santa's snow friends to elves -- and lighten your holiday heart on sweatshirts and shopping totes.

 

Shapely designs featuring Christmas ribbon and holly are the perfect accompaniment for the festive holiday table. And, Dollar Delights feature fast and frugal sewing with the option of crystals for extra pizzazz.
 

Deck the halls, the gifts, and the garments, and enjoy sewing the designs this week.

Add lovely lace to your Christmas tree and gifts
with new freestanding lace bells and bows!

Special Request of the Week
Embroidery Library is always inspired by your design suggestions, and we thank you for sending
us tons of terrific ideas, which we regularly incorporate into the weekly design themes. As a way to expand on designs for specific quests, this space is dedicated to the "Request of the Week."
Here is this week's request:
 
Purrrfect Kitty
Sheena described her design: "a white fringe cat, sitting, maybe wearing a princess crown."
She said, "My daughter Aleena, will be three this month, and she loves cats...and princesses.
She loves to rub the fringe chick design I made for her, and she has been asking for a fluffy cat.
I plan
to embroider it on a t-shirt, skirt, hat, bag, and definitely a pillowcase for her new 'big-girl bed.'"
"
I'm a little biased, and I think my daughter is 'Purrfect,'" she explained. 
 
Available in two sizes:
4.98"X4.81" and 3.86"X3.74"
