  • Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. + Free Design

    January 21, 2019 /

    MLK Day: Because Hate is Too Great a Burden to Bear Today is a day to reflect and remember with a free embroidery design including a quote from the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. One of the many benefits of growing up in North Georgia is the ability to experience history, instead of just reading about it. As I think about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, I am able to not just remember his sermons, inspiring quotes and speeches, but I can add my own experiences at the King Center and at Dr. King’s gravesite. I can remember seeing his childhood home and having lunch at the restaurant…

  • Why It’s Never Too Late to Start Machine Embroidery

    July 6, 2018 /

    I met Clyde by phone about a year ago when he called with some questions about threads and stabilizers.  I was so charmed by him, and we ended up talking about all kinds of things.  The fact that he was 80+ years old and had just recently embarked on a computerized embroidery hobby blew me away!  He kept in touch, and I asked to read his book. (Yes!  He wrote a book – for his family and friends).  After his wonderful book, I felt like we were friends, too.  It is so unusual to meet men who embroider; and men who begin embroidery in the their 80’s are rare indeed. …

  • Inspiration from Vacation for Future Keepsake Projects

    August 5, 2015 /

    Taking Inspiration from Vacation Taking inspiration from vacation is a great way to remember your travels long after vacation ends and school starts. Whether it’s motifs you see that remind you of a special place, or great architecture from a church or building, or perhaps a food you can reimagine in fabric and thread. My family ended the summer in style. We took a wonderful trip to St. Simon’s Island off the coast of Georgia. I got a lot of project inspiration from vacation to fuel my fall by looking through my favorite photos.   We hung out at the beach. The colors of sand and sky will make their…
