Has anyone seen the stick design of a lady that says "Serial Embroiderer"? I saw it at a show last weekend but can't find it. The lady said she thought she got it from Starbird, but I can't find it there. I might have to just use any stick lady and add the wording myself. I have the Janome 11,000 also. Been embroidering kitchen towels for Christmas gifts this year.

That is just too funny! I might try embroidering some for my DH! My hubby gets a kick out of the fact that the embroidery machine stitches automatically and I can go get a cup of tea while it's working. He asks,"What does it need you for?" Tee hee.

I like to make the in hoop designs. I have made some towel toppers. I have also embroidered a couple of quilts.
I have a Janome MemoryCraft 10001.
LOve it. Just don't have enough time to use it. Work too much!!

A Tote bag for a special Mom with a very sick child that is near death
This is a very special bag for my niece who loves lady bugs, and has a child that is 7 years old that only has months to live. He has a rare disease that is something like brain cancer, he has lost all of his site, and hearing, they don't expect him to live a lot longer.
This Mom is very special has 3 other children and she needs a big hug herself for taking care of him 24/7. She is our niece and we pray that this little thing makes her happy for a little while. I also made him a very special turtle pillow to help make him happy for a little while.

Fairly new to embroidery; I have the Viking Ruby, love the machine. This week I'm working on making lace bags for the grandson to put candy in for his teacher and babysitter for valentines day; look under projects on emblibrary.com. Then I'm doing some really cute potholders from same site; they open and your hands slip into them. I have a daughther with her first apartment that needs some and then my oldest son lost just everything in a house fire a few months ago so I'm making some for them. They'll all have different herbs on the outside of them. I have a first birthday bib to do before the end of the month for DGD. Then it's to start working on the lace Easter baskets that I downloaded from same site. I wait until they have a special which is just about every month. I just got one today; 5 designs for $5; you can't go wrong. I have so many designs that even if I stopped ordering now it'd take me over a yr to make them all. At machine embroidery club at a LQS last month I made a cute little coin purse w/zipper. It was all done in the hoop. I use it all the time; especially at work going down to the cafe to get drinks and food. I think that's it. I didn't include the free standing lace and stained class wall hanging.

I am trying to figure out some cool ideas to make for potholders. I have been surfing and finally found this video to watch with lots of ideas.

When I have a question about stabilizer then I check for the projects on emblibrary.com and see what they use. Plus they have a section on stabilizers and you can also find info on Viking's website.

My first project was a bookmark. I had no idea what I was doing. (Still have that problem, ha, ha)
It took so long, that I thought I did something wrong. It was supposed to be a small gift for someone. I decided to do a test run with some thread colors I did not like. However, after an hour or two I had a bookmark sample, but never made the gift in the correct thread. I use the sample myself and say "what was I thinking for my first project? Now when I am not sure if I want to make something I look very closely at the stitch count and then decide.

I have a Brother 2500D. Most projects are gifts: bath towel sets, kitchen towel sets, placemats, napkins. Some t-shirts, some patches for jean pockets. Now I'm putting embroidering on appliques for a quilt - making the appliques look like they were cut from embroidered fabric instead of plain fabric.
