I was coming on becuse I was away all day yesterday with Katie's 11th birthday stuff and was soo sad to read about Mya. I agree T....i am so glad that we do what we do and I too forget what the future may hold for these children. I am so glad we were able to come together to give her mother and grandmother some wonderful memories.

With everything else I have read today, the only thing that really stuck with me is Arminda is almost 12? Such a sweet young lady!

I can't believe it myself! She is a sweetheart. I will agree!

Great....thanks for that information. I will go look at it now! You are awesome!

ETA: Can I upload 4 x 4 AND 5 x 7 designs on it?
And I just have to say....this second paragraph made me laugh out loud!! You are too funny!

I can save any size on my card, but I can only stitch out a 4X4, so when I put it in my embroidery machine, it will beep at me if the design is too big! You can fit several designs on the card at once.

Done!

I just went and registered a few people, so as long as you verified your email, you should be able to log in now.

Hi Everyone!!!

I fianlly found a clown costume pattern- from like 1965 or something, and its coming from WA!!
Here is my reference- I found this darling costume on etsy
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29702791
?

Very cute! And I think I wore that same pattern when it was new in 1969. Lol. My great grandmother made it for me out of a blue and white striped fabric complete with pointed hat and pompoms! I still have it, all of my girls wore it, usually when they were two, but Rebecca is so tiny she fit into it when she was 4. Your plans to embellish it sound great, can't wait to see the final result! As for the princessy clown, have you checked the costume section in a traditional pattern book? They have lots of different clown styles to choose from.

Hi Ladies. I have a question for you. Below is my daughters 1st Communion dress. It in ankle length right now, but I really want is closer to her knee. She is a little on the short side.

Do you think it would be hard to hem this myself? I don't know if you can tell by the pictures, but it has 3 layers of soft tulle, a satin layer, 2 rough tulle layers and 1 more satin layer. I am thinking the tulle only needs to be cut and the rest hemmed of course. Thanks ladies.

Here is the quilt I just finished. It is just the quilt top and going out today to be quilted with stitch in the ditch. I could do but just don't want to learn on this quilt.

This is GORGEOUS!

I think I did too...My Mom had this silk fabric- from Japan (brought back after the war by my grandfather), that is more than 60 years old now, it is red with pink polka dots. WHY she made my Halloween costume from it I dont know- but thats what I had- a silk clown costume- she still has it. BUT she is in FL, her Conneticut house is 2hrs from me and she's not quite sure where it is (which means it would take me a half a day to find it)
and she says she didnt do a great job making it- so I am wondering, even if I did find the fabric, it's so old, it might fall apart, if I ever get my hands on that silk I will do something lasting with it LOL.

Megan's school is doing "The Greatest Little Show On Earth" and her class (the 3/4 year old class) so there will be 10 little clowns

I had to gather up 10 posts before I could add pictures
We leave for WDW this weekend and I thought I would squeeze in just one more dress today. It's by far my favorite! I'm kind of thinking the front needs a little punch though. Maybe black buttons or a Mickey head?

So Cute! Love the back
Have a wonderful time.

Wow! Amazing! It is beautiful!

So I am still working on the two round neck... but I decided to whip up a few coffee cozies today to get them done so I can mail them out to some family this weekend.
This was a project I can easily do with the kids.

And as I have been organizing fabric I have to show some... hope you don't mind

So we went to Oahu for a week in January and I came home with FABRIC!
I am a hawaiian print lover so I was in heaven. It was hard to choose, I had to go to the store twice because I couldn't decide - and my hubby was soo cool about my NEED to fabric shop on our family trip.

Yeah, I might have gone a bit overboard.... I got several yards of each
Now to do something with it.

And yesterday I went to Hancock Fabric and found this print....

Since we are in the Seattle area I couldn't pass it up. Once again I bought it without any idea what I want to do with it. Anyone else have this problem?

Is it impossible to applique on a stretchy t shirt???

 

[ireland_nicole]

Just wanted to share my latest design....but first a bit about myself and my designing...

Very cute and unique; I love the appliques on the shorts especially.

That is soooooooooo cute! I think a couple mickey head buttons on the front would be adorable, or bows where the straps meet the bodice, but not necessary- I love it just as it is!

WOW!!!!! I am in awe!

I've answered this question several times, it was probably lost in a big ole multiquote though!

I love it! Unless, you were going for Jasmine and Aladin, then you REALLY missed the mark!

I took some time to make some mega bows for Ashley and Jessica. I hope the like the outfits!... BIG GIVE package went out today!

Love them!

Love the fabrics- they're fabulous! As far as the whole "buying fabrics without any previously decided use for it goes, um, ah, nope. never have that problem Particularly not when it's on sale

Time for a slightly happy dance! Y'all know things w/ DH have not been good, and he's talked about cancelling our trip; well, today we had to finish paying off the house we're supposed to be renting- he used his debit card to do it; so I'm hoping he's still planning on going. I asked him if he's at all looking forward to any part of the trip, and he said "I don't know" which I guess is a big step up from- absolutely not, I think you should just cancel; it's just a waste of time and money (which is where he was 3 weeks ago)

The first rule of this board is: buy the fabric when you see it. (And buy all of it LOL) Figure out what to do with later. Trust me you "need" it.

Nicole, I will continue to pray for you and your family. I hope that DH can find joy in knowing that his family is happy. My heart goes out to you dear friend.

OMG....this is AWESOME! I quilt (only by hand) and I have made some large quilts but nothing this AWESOME. Beautiful work. (oh and I am not thumbnailing it...its just to beautiful to do that.)

Oh my now you are such an artist. I am impressed great job.

OMG I keep thinking I'll make a quilt again someday, but wowza it would never compare to that one!! Lovely work!! If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take to make?

Very pretty. It looks like sooooo much work!! Great job!

This is GORGEOUS!

Wow! Amazing! It is beautiful!

WOW!!!!! I am in awe!

Thank you all for your nice comments on my quilt. You were all very kind in your words and I appreciate it. Quilting is my new passion a few here remember when I did make clothes but it seems so long ago.

This quilt is from Eleanor Burns quick trip quilt. It was very easy, just sewing strips together and then putting them into a tube, cutting once again and the cutting in half at alternating squares. I loved how it came out and the colours.

Today I got our Disney bin and now find myself having to make a few things for our trip. So it is back to clothing. Hopefully summer will arrive here in the mountain west and I can put it all way for a few months and get outside to play.
