Magical Forest Swap - Sign-Ups Close May 15, 2012

Love the new blocks moonrise!! You have some great embroidery patterns.
I thought I would share a few patterns for people if they are interested in using them for this swap. Even if we have a few people doing these, there will be enough variety overall and with the fabrics used and such to keep things interesting.
Here are a few gnomes & mushrooms & a cute hedgehog that look like a lot of fun:

Another take on the gnome patterns in the last link.

There's a simple tree towards the bottom of this post, keep scrolling to see more ideas without tutorials:

I love the pictures so far. I do not have an embroidery machine. I joined yesterday. I looked through my scraps. I found cute gnome/fairy houses and made some patterns. Today, I fused fabric and cut out 18 little mushroom houses to applique. I will probably make some trees too.

I like your little red and white mushroom. I would go with the gnomes fabric I already have. All my little mushroom houses are each different.

Rachael, I love your trees! I made a gnome block and a few tree blocks. I like free form pieceing also, I look at the pattern get an idea and then go create my own magical forest.
I do have an Embroidery machine, but dang if I will take the time to learn it! I can do simple stuff, but when I had the lessons at Joann's my "teacher" was too busy with her boyfriend on the phone. So I figured I could teach myself! Not yet at least! My Machine is a Viking Husqvarna, Limited Edition. It sews great but I just can't quite get the hang of the embroidery part. I keep saying I am going to take lessons, but now that gas is $4.50 and the closest Dealership is in Riverside... Not too likely right now.
OK Back to my gnomes and 'shrooms' Will post pictures later today
