Peggy’s Zodiac Quilt

Hi Suz, this is Peggy in North Pole, Alaska. Haven’t put batting and back on this quilt. Thought you would like to see its progress. Trying to decide how to quilt top together. Difficult for me to quilt with my machine so contacted a friend with a long arm. After Christmas we will decide what to do, maybe just highlight each square. Peggy

I love the soft, frosty colors Peggy!  Suz

Denise’s Winning Entry

Denise won the Crazy Quilt contest from the Year 2012.  Here is her Entry:

Suz,
Here is my entry into the Crazy Quilt contest, I have used all the designs from BFC1179 plus 5 freebies, FBFC246, FBFC317, FBFC699, FBFC626, Classic monogram font border and BFC516-31.
I needed a new lunch kit and was originally going to make the bag as designed but then it evolved as I needed pockets for silver wear, napkins, salt and pepper and my wallet and keys. I wanted these to zip closed for security and i needed stretch pockets for my coffee and water bottle. I made it out of water proof outerwear fabric, embroidered and interlined it with super stable then lined it with another waterproof outerwear fabric. I am very pleased with the results. 

Betty Ann’s Alpha

Hello Suz,

Thank you for introducing your thoughts on the Lace Alpha.  As I watched the stitch out of letter A, I was impressed by detail used in this design and the beauty of the finished design.  I used medium tear away stabilizer in my hoop and floated the top layer material.  For the first colour (white) I slowed my machine to 700 spm,  the second colour (pink) I reduced the speed to 500 spm.  There were no thread breaks or broken needles.  Amazing, I wish all my embroideries were as hassle free as this one.

Thanks so much Betty Ann!  Suz

Stefani’s Cupcake

Hi Suz,

I don’t know if you remember, but when you first released the Sally King cupcake set, I had sent you an email about the promotion you had going on at the time. Well, I did get the apron made for the lady who made the top tiers of my daughter’s wedding cake and the wedding was today. The top tiers of the cake were traditional cake but we made cupcakes for the rest of the cake… so your design set was perfect. The lady who made the top part of the cake is trying to open her own cake decorating business and she did a beautiful job (and didn’t charge hardly anything! She’s a friend of a friend, but still…). Obviously I added the text, Cake Dreams is the name of the business she’s opening. Anyhow, she loved the apron and the design was absolutely perfect. I’ve attached the picture of the apron onto here for you, in case you want to use it for advertising purposes or as a project picture.

Great Story Stefani! Suz

Sunny’s Pillows

I don’t know if I ever showed these pillows for my oldest daughter’s sofa (which is red).  She loves them.  One is Feline Stare and the other is the Sagittarius.  They look stunning on her red sofa.  You and she seem to really love cats!!  Keep up the great work Suz but at some time you have to retire!
and for a grandson, who also loves kitties, a pillow for his bedroom

I can’t see me retiring Sunny!  I’ll go with my mouse in my hand  LOL   Suz
