Quick Stitch Delights

NEW THIS WEEK - June 7th, 2006:


Quick Stitch Delights

Summer days are so full of fun things to do -- vacation travel, barbecue parties, reunions, showers for weddings and summer babies...the list goes on and on. We may be busy, but we can double our fun with embroidery in half the time with a switch to quick stitching.

 

This week's designs are all about making light work of gifts for showers or hostesses, not to mention kids, grandkids, spouses, and friends. Light and airy designs are so spectacular, no one will ever know that you didn't spend hours in your sewing room.

 

One-color toile and redwork designs, wispy little embroideries, Simple Treasures three-somes, and quick-stitching color are all designed for fast action.

And, there's a topic for everyone's tastes -- enchanting rose vines, Sunbonnet Sue and friends, backyard birds, colorful summer twists with a feminine touch, summer-time party drinks, classic cars, antique planes, bats and balls, and country animals.

Enjoy "tweet" dreams with a lampshade
embellished with toile backyard birds.

change the stems to a different color, if desired.
