while i have the camera out.. a few friends said to post this... it's ME (machine embroidery)... but i'm so proud... the thread didn't break once!!!
Have wanted to do this for a long time,,, my dear GF loves this print... i found it in ME and am going to make her a tote for her B-Day... we are a group of 4 girls that Graduated from the same school, same class,,, and married our HS sweethearts... and are STILL married to them... we get together about 6 times a year...

ok... here it is... all done...

As always not as perfect as i'd like but i'm not good at following directions... got the fabric quilted and realized that wasn't going to work with the pattern.. so again had to wing it... one of these days i'll get it right...

I have a Designer I.... 10yrs. old and stitches verywell... i will say i don't usually do things this dense... just makes the machine sound like it's being tortured to me... .. but i doubled the stabalizer and it worked.. i have to check a bit for the place i downloaded... it's on the tip of my tongue, but can't remember... i almost NEVER pay for designs,,, there is so much for free and i have more than i can ever use.. but sometimes it's just what you want... i will for sure post after i check..
but here it is...

GrammaBabs 04-10-2011 01:01 PM

Hey i found it.... first shot... "i still got it"!!!!

roseOfsharon 04-10-2011 02:00 PM

So, so sweet... I want one!! lol I am just reading a book that you and your friends would so enjoy! At least I am so far! It is called " Same Sweet Girls" by Cassandra King (2005). It's about six girls that went to College together .. roomies and how they remained friends etc... You might want to look for it in your library! I got my copy from the Senior Ctr book sale!
