Christmas Gifts
 
2 Attachment(s)
Here are a couple pictures of a few things I have made for Christmas gifts. The bookmarkers have been a big hit at my office. I brought them in for "show and tell" and had to go home and make more!

Those are adorable. Did you use machine embroidery?

Yes, I have a Viking Topaz 30.

Those are really cute! I've been retired a couple of years and that's the only thing I miss - show and tell. For some reason my DH isn't as interested in my creations as the women I worked with!

Very cute gifts!

I know what you mean about DH not being as interested. Mine always makes a little sound when I show him things I have made.

I like the bookmarks. Great job!

Those are lovely and I think if I took them into my office they wouldn't make it back home again.

Nicely done!!

They are so darling, I can understand why you had to go home and make more.

I got the downloads from John Deer's Adorable Ideas. Once you get the layout border, you can put any design in the center. Fun to do.

Nicely done. I have my eye on one of those machines! Beautiful.

all are very nice, I want one of the cardinals!

joycet 12-15-2012 06:29 AM

I'm sorry to be such a grouch but aren't the tassels on the wrong end? When I make bookmarks I let them hang out from the top of the book...that helps to show where a person left off reading. Just wondering.

Cookie64 12-15-2012 07:00 AM

Beautiful! Very well done, I need to learn my emb machine, that is one of my new year's resolutions.

Super cute, love the bookmarks!

Great gifts - well done.

You are lucky to work with people who appreciate your work. Where I work none of the ladies are even remotely interested in sewing/quilting.

lbc 12-15-2012 10:56 AM

Very nice. I'm sure these will be appreciated by all who are lucky enough to receive them.

gramquilter2 12-15-2012 03:55 PM

These are all so cute. Hopefully the receivers will think so too! If not I read a lot-hint hint. LOL

One of the girls at work asked me the same thing. The pattern showed them on the bottom, but you could put them on the top or just put the bookmarker in the book upside down. HeHe.

javin22 01-04-2013 08:22 PM
