All summer Freebie friday event
Good Morning!!!
This is the beginning of an 8 week all Summer long freebie friday event!!!! The theme is Inspiration!!!
Each Friday I will give you a design...like the "Choose Joy" design and by the end of 8 weeks you will have some beautiful Embroidery bowl fillers...like my Valentine bowl fillers below(this is a pattern on my etsy). You could also use the designs to make other items like wearable pins or small pin cushions.
Take a scrap piece of muslin and trace the choose joy design onto it. I like using a disappearing marker....that disappears when water is applied to it. On my left sidebar is a tip on how to make a lightbox to trace embroidery designs.
Also trace the square around design. Back-stitch your word on muslin in any color you choose. Trim muslin design down....1/4" away from outside square. Remove disappearing marker and let dry. Make into a mini pillow...with a backing and stuff it. One bowl filler is done. These also make great pillow tucks on a shelf. Tell your friends about the all summer long freebie friday!!!
These lil pillows are very fast to whip up...so lets get started...I will post mine also....it would be GREAT to see yours too!!!!
come to the party....Whipperberry party!
Three Cheers for the red, white, and blue
Here is a sneaky peak of my next pattern....this one is sooooo pretty!
I am a very patriotic person and I just had to make a big eyed lil lady with our flag and fireworks!
I can't wait for our Lilac parade here in Spokane...such a good parade and it celebrates the armed forces...so being a vet it always gets your heart beating. My husband is a vet too and he loves seeing the military and especially the Vets that are from WW2. Brings tears of pride to your eyes!
Gotta take a walk now!
Fun Mom tag
Here is a tag I made ....I always put it out during mother's day. She has passed many years ago now.....but the love I still feel for her is sooooo strong! She was a beautiful woman and I really don't know how she did it all.
To make a tag for your mom or to remember your mom....get you pics out and find a good one. You can age a tag by rubbing brown ink on a toothbrush and rubbing the toothbrush over the tag....on edges.
This pic was a black and white...which I added a lil pink blush to the cheeks to make her light up. I cut out around her and cut off the skirt area...so I can add a fabric skirt.
I glued the photo onto the tag and hot glued a little scrap of fabric for a skirt. I added the ribbon belt to finish it better. I added floral clipart and then stamped the word "Mom" on it. Now....whenever I see my lil tag....I think of her at her prime....a woman who was going to conquer the world...and she could have!
Just had to show ya.....here she is on a pendant I made....wearing a party hat! She was the life of the party....she didn't drink...but she was fun and people wanted to listen to her and be with her.
Her name was Betty Lou!
I was her baby and we were super close. Now I have a daughter and she is my baby (one and only) and we are super close.
If you still have your mom.....give her a big old hug and say thanks....you won't regret it!
Come to the party....Whipperberry party!

New design- Everyday is a gift
Yay!!!.... my new pattern is done....sometimes things just get in the way and you can't finish something for awhile.....but I did it!
This is Everyday is gift Stitchery hoop art pattern, #283 on My ETSY
and also on my PATTERNMART.
Inspirational sweetness...Everyday is a gift. This lovely lady is made combining fabric, embroidery, & special easy art techniques. Change hair and eye color to match a loved one. Frame the design in a hoop... so quick! Hoop art measures: 8 1/2" x 8 1/2"
As the years go by....I realize how true this statement is. My mom died 14 1/2 years ago....she had a terminal disease and she literally willed herself to live to see my one and only baby. 20 days after my daughter was born...she passed away. She didn't get to see my daughter grow. They could have had so many special moments. She missed my business grow from a few craft shows I did ... and now designing patterns. She never got to see the internet, cell phones, and other little things we take for granted. We missed out on having her for all the holidays, advice, good times, and such. I could go on and on!
Everyday is a gift!
Old Glory - Freebie Friday!
I am feeling PATRIOTIC......I always do this time of year....with memorial day coming....and also Armed Forces day, Flag day, and of course the Forth of July!!!
This is the freebie Friday design...Old Glory! This could be stitched up in a flash!
On the left sidebar of my blog I have an easy way to make your own light box for transferring designs to muslin.
If you use tea-dyed muslin.....white embroidery floss really stand out. If you use white muslin....I recommend using a gray color of floss to replace areas where white floss would be used.
Check out my Etsy patriotic items....so many fun projects, collage sheets, and signs.
Come to Whipperberry Friday flair party....so may wonderful projects and yummies....take a peek!
