Designs used on Jan's 1st Place wall hanging
Please see Projects 2 for the
completed article
Jan shows us wonderful examples of creative work with re-sizing
and using different fabric and your sewing machine. Using the Chico's
Chores set, Jan ha re-sized the cactus, and made them large
enough to hold the clothes line that she wrapped around them using the zigzag stitch on
her regular machine after they were embroidered on her fabric. The other is of one
of the designs, showing it on this very colorful material that she is using.

Again, Jan has re-sized the
donkey and in the other picture, she has Chico sitting on the
pots as he plays his guitar! What clever ideas she has sent in! Thank
you Jan. (Please note....while the pictures had to be re-sized
for the web page... all of Jan's figures are of equal size!)
Here's Pat and her 2nd Place winner! It is beautiful and certainly
deserves the award.
This is a beautiful wall hanging where Pat adapted the Noel set to a quilt pattern. The original pattern called for applique, but Pat used
embroidered figures instead. As is true with most of the pictures that have to
be taken down in size for the website, the picture doesn't do justice to the work.
It's lovely Pat!
Another view of the
the wallhangng by Pat. Pat tells me that that she used 6" squares that she had
exchanged in a quilt group she belongs to. The quilt pattern was designed by
Terri Gose and is called "O Holy Night". This will surely be a treasure
for her and her family for years to come.
This pretty towel was done
by Sharon using the new Aunt Mary designs. The little verse and the bow adds the
finishing touch to a very lovely little gift. Thanks Sharon, for sending this for
all to see!
Carol sent in this wonderful example of Carmen and Chico she stitched on a
glass towel. It says "Two are one.....we work together".. She intends to use it
for a gift for newlyweds. Thanks Carol.
Here's an example of the
new Aunt Mary on the MS towels. Carol has sewn them out and
used the original color selection on them. They look wonderful Carol! You can
write to her at
Carol shows us what she did with the Aunt Mary Sunday by using Twister Silver on the pipes for the organ in this design. This adds
an interesting "twist" to the design and really shows off the design well. Thanks for sending these great pics!
Here's a set of ftt's with the "Aunt Mary" set on them. These were stiched by Mary
in the colors of her choice and as
usual, she has done such a pretty job on them!
Here's a special project for a
very special baby boy! Mary has stitched the free little bunny design from the "Aunt Mary" set on a short set for her little
grandson. Mary's little grandson, Jordan, will look so special in these. Thank
you for stitching these for all to see Mary.
These towels were embroidered by
Mary T using the Glamour Girls.
On several, she re-sized BIG to fit the full hoop of her D-1 and reports good luck with
them. Love that "Retro Hot Tub"! What a delightful set of towels
Mary. Visit her website at http://members.aol.com/mmary111/personal/index.htm
Beryl wanted to make
a set of boxers for her father-in-law using the Glamour Girls.
She put her mother-in-law's name on them and embroidered with glow
in the dark thread!! You'll notice a shamrock on one leg... Russ' birthday is
March 17th... What a delightful birthday present and such a cute idea. I'm sure
he'll love them!
Liliane has stitched out my old free sunbonnets and included them with a
pretty alphabet. She has then framed the piece. The Link for these designs can be
found on my Home page. Visit her home page at http://members.aol.com/Lilibrod/. It's
nice to see what other's do and this lady lives in Europe... what a small world the
internet has made. Thank you for allowing me to show your work Liliane.
Carol has taken one of the little Glamour Girls and stitched it out in the African American colors
for a special friend. She looks so pretty on the pale blue ftt in these colors.
Just goes to show what you can do when you use the palette of colors in your thread
stash and creativity! Thank you for giving us this idea Carol.
Here's a beautiful example of creativity
at work. Mary has put the Chico's Chores set all over a
light blue denim shirt... Another wonderful idea and way to use the Chico
designs.

She also decorated the collar and cuffs with the small designs! This project

These darling towels were done by Joanne.
She used the "glass towels" from Wal-Mart and was not limited to the
colors
of the MS towels.
Another view of these towels. They
look so clean and crisp. Thank you Joanne!
This beautiful quilt is the work of Cheryl Haywood. She has used the
little Angelic Activities and what a
beautiful Job! This quilt was shown at the Highpoint Retreat.
Another quilt by Cheryl.
Again, this quilt was at the Highpoint Retreat and used the Sugar
& Shorty designs. It is precious!!
This wall hanging was done by Margaret.
She has added a crèche and palm trees in applique form. The figures come from my Noel - a Nativity set. What a treasure!
These towels were done by Phyllis for her
first towel exchange. She used one of the designs from the Colonial
Sunbonnet set. Don't you know the ladies who received them were happy!!
Here's a quilt made from the Sugar designs. It's a twin size using the baby wedding ring
design. It was made for a little 5 year old granddaughter. The ultimate labor
of love!
It was made by Cynthia N.
This delightful set was done by Joanne.
She has decorated their new Airstream using the Chico set. I can only imagine
how lovely it is and thank her again for showing some of her lovely work. Here she
displays finger tips and napkins. A lot of time, but well worth the effort! Thank
you Joanne.
