 Just finished the Kimberbell Wallhanging for "One Sweet Spring."  It is on display at the store.  We will be having a class to teach this on March 11th and 25th.  Check it out at Sewingly Yours website.  

Recent Projects

 Here are some other things that I have been working on over the past few weeks.  

Just finished this for a friend of mine. 

I was recently able to take the certification class for Kimberbell.  Our shop has been certified for over 4 years by one of the shop owners, Teresa Conrad and another lady who has since "retired."  I am officially legal and will be teaching the "No Place Like Home" pillow again for the third time in July.  

It is scheduled for Sat and Sun, July 23 and 24 and we can open a few more spaces if you are interested.  Go to our website to sign up at sewinglyyours.net.  

Here are some more projects from the class that I have finished.  

One is from the Red, White and BBQ Spark event and I absolutely love this apron.  

The other project is from the North Pole event that is coming out later this year.  It is the sparkly lights that are draped on the apron in the top picture.  You use the fairy lights with a snowflake that is embroidered.  

That's all for now.  Until next time, Happy Sewing.

Moravian Mug Rugs and being Moravian

 I was not born Moravian but my family joined Unity Moravian in Lewisville when my daughter was 3.  (about 37 years ago.)  We embraced the Moravian traditions particularly the Lovefeasts.  My husband and I were Head Dieners for over 25 years.  (Dieners are the ones that serve the Lovefeasts.)

I also worked at Salemtowne for over 20 years.  We followed the Moravian traditions and it felt like home to me.  When I first started, I still remember my first Christmas there.  I started working on December 26th so the facility was still decorated for Christmas and, wow, did they decorate for Christmas. 

Since I had worked at Blumenthal Jewish Home for over 10 years, I was used to having NO red and green colors at Christmas nor any Christmas music, Christmas clothing, Christmas trees - anything Christmas.  It was like being in heaven! (We had a lot of blue and silver which was for Hanukkah.)

I remember sitting in my office during my first week and suddenly hearing Christmas carols being played on a piano.  I followed the sound and found one of the residents playing the piano in the living room.  What a wonderful inspiring sound after having 10 years of non-Christmas!  

I am now working on some Moravian items to sell in the gift shop at Salemtowne.  Here are a few pictures.  These are made mainly in the hoop.  I used a Kimberbell mug rug pattern and then added the Star or the Lovefeast embroidery.  I use the projector on my Solaris for exact placement.  I love the way that they turned out. I will take custom orders if anyone is interested.  

Until next time, Happy Sewing!
