These came out great, so sorry about your son not being able to go.

Ok Ladies,

I need a cow. Yep a cow. I need to embroider cows on towels for my neice who is going to college next year(I still can't believe she is old enough to go to college). I looked at Ms HeatherSue and did not see any cow designs. Who has one? I want a kind of cutsy looking one.

Any suggestions?

I think I have cows but my computer is down. Hopefully my son will get it fixed the first of the week. I'll try and remember to check then. If I haven't let you know something by next weekend please remind me, my memory just isn't what it used to be.

Here's a couple.
Farm Cow
Pink Cow
I've used her designs before. They stitch out pretty nice. She also has great prices.

Neither is mine don't feel bad LOL I "forgot" I wanted to do this project back in August. Thank you for checking!

(How is your grandaughter doing?)

(How is your grandaughter doing?)

She is doing great in Pre-K class, no trouble for the teacher. She is still wild and has meltdowns!! She goes to occupational therapy and speech, at a private clinic, for one hour each, once a week. She receives speech twice a week at school and OT once a month at school. DGS2 is also seeing the priviate OT and speech pathologist for the same amount of time. One goes to OT while the other one is in speech and then they trade places with the therapists.

On a brighter note: Our trip to WDW in July with her was probably the best one yet!! We got a GAC and had her and her brothers strollers tagged as wheelchairs. The wheelchair tag was a life saver. She was able to have her own personal space, where no one was bumping into her, when we had to wait in lines. We only had 1 meltdown in the parks the whole trip. We didn't even have to buckle her in her stroller. All we had to say was get in your space and she would get back into her stroller to wait.

Thanks for asking about her. How is Miss M doing?

AWESOME!!! I kinda figured the stroller would help. It was a lifesaver for us. M is doing well. She is adjusting to the move. She had a hard time figuring out what would go with us (kept insisting we bring the toilet from the old place LOL). This was her first "move". But she managed. Oddly enough she was happy to see her stroller in the garage (not that we use it anymore-she just likes knowing it is there).


Are you going to be here in January for the meet?

 

[jeniamt]

And here she is..

She is just beautiful... and yes, I am talking about the machine!

Never posted here before, but thought you might enjoy my DD's fairy costume.
Because she uses a wheelchair, we were trying to come up with a costume that would be easy on and off, plus keep her from sitting on a bumpy skirt.
We settled on an apron design. The skirt is made of individual flower petals - 2 different colors of thin satin, some voile with iridescent 'dew drops', voile over satin and purple veiling.
EDITED TO ADD - Tulle ---- that's the name of "Veiling" that I was thinking of.

The bodice part is made of a light purple printed cotton with embroidered soft satin for the neck part. The waistband is denim that had colored shiny splashes.
Instead of ties on the back, I made the apron strings very short on one side and go all the way around on the other side like a belt. Then we added strings to the short side and loops on the other to tie the 'apron' on without her having a bump on the back to sit against all night.

She also had wings, made by her sister, who is an artist.

The wings attached to her wheelchair as shown in the picture. She wore a fuschia long sleeve tee shirt and a pair of capri pants under the fairy apron.
Anyway, thought it might give you some ideas for something for a child who is in a wheelchair.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing!

 

[teresajoy]

Please...somebody stop me!

I just counted, and I have 23 shirts 3 dresses left and 14 days to finish. And what do I do...I take a REAL look at the new Rosetta Ruffle Bag....I REALLY WANT IT! I can just see it in Minnie colors. Could be a perfect park bag...
So...to all you testers...how long does it take to make?

It looks like I could probably knock one out in an afternoon devoted to just sewing.

I mean I NEED it...right?


Nini

Of course you NEED it!!

ree aHi can anyone lead me to instructions on how to make the "I spy" bags I saw a while back? Thanks!!!!!

There are quite a few in the bookmarks.

I'm thinking about making a Minnie style top and am just wondering where you guys get the pretty minnie dot fabric in red and white? The only place around here to buy fabric is Waldemort. Is there a good place online for fabric that's not super expensive?

Thanks!

I have ordered from Hancocks.com and Fabric.com, and I can usually get it at Joanns.

Just found out yesterday that my son won't be joining us for our Disney trip next month after all. So I have a Chef Mickey's t-shirt in a size Medium (the Royal Blue one) that we won't be needing if anyone thinks they can use it (no charge) for an upcoming trip send me a pm.

I also have started a blog, in case anyone is interested... not sure if I will keep up with updating it or not, but I thought I would share in case anyone is interested. I will try to talk about my sewing adventures and other stuff as well. Blog

I'm sorry your son won't be able to go with you! The shirts all look great!

And here she is..

We went out and bought a brand new Babylock Ellegante 2!
I was having troubles with my other machine, and I just begged hubby to let me jump to the 12 by 7 hoop.
I'm just tickled to have Babylock serger sitting next to a Babylock embroidery machine. It feels meant to be!
It stitches like a dream. I'm amazed by the threading on it. I don't even have to put my fingers anywhere near the needle. It's like ninja threading.
Here's the first design I stitched out on her.

Only 9 more princesses to go..

OOOHHH!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!

My embroidery machine decided it didn't like me anymore. So, I'm desperately looking for a different machine. I don't think I'll get anything this nice though! What did you name her?

Wow! What a great idea! That would be a great idea for the Big Gives! (could I persuade you to join?) I would love to see a picture of your daughter in it, if you don't mind sharing.

I need help! One of you lovely ladies made this wonderful outfit:



What pattern is the pants on that? They are so cute!

That is Jeanne, jham's little daughter Lily. Isn't she a cutie pie!!! They are called Zuma pants. I did have some tutorials in the bookmarks for some similar styles. I think they are called wrap pants or thai fisherman pants.

AWESOME!!! I kinda figured the stroller would help. It was a lifesaver for us. M is doing well. She is adjusting to the move. She had a hard time figuring out what would go with us (kept insisting we bring the toilet from the old place LOL). This was her first "move". But she managed.

M is too cute! I'm glad she's doing well with the move.

 

[itsheresomewhere]

This is what Mom measured...

So, from the foot rest to the top of the handle - 36"
Across the handle - 17"
From the handle down the opposite side to the footrest - 36"

What do ya think????

Thanks.

I need just the sides to wheel clearance when she gets a chance. Hard to tell in the pics and I don't want to make things too long. Then I can get working. Think she might like lights too?

Are you going to be here in January for the meet?

I had hoped to get to come but DGD6 has a gymnastics meet that weekend in Kansas City. This is her first year to compete and I don't want to miss any meets. It will probably just be DD, DGD6, and myself going. DH will be keeping DGD4 & DGS2 back home. (although there is a slight possibility they will go with us, especially if the weather is bad. I don't like to drive in snow and ice and it will be a 6 hour drive each way.) This is the farthest meet we have to travel to. I'm disappointed that I won't get to come for this one.

Wish I had the time to do it, but really busy between work and some other things I'm doing. I've been lurking at times here and on the MAW thread on the disABILITIES Board. I think what you all do is amazing and I've seen the threads where people post about opening all the boxes of Give stuff!

I'm willing to give technical assistance though if you want ideas for Big Gives that involve wheelchairs.
Here's a picture of DD visiting Rosetta

Thanks.

We put solar lights on DD's wheelchair when we go to WDW. It adds a 'touch of whimsy', but is also a conversation piece and useful for helping people see the wheelchair in the dark.
So, I think lights are a great idea.

I got that machine last year, it is wonderful, I just don't use it enough. Congrats

I got a demo of a digitize program for 30 days ,,,I have tried it on 3 designs so far and they just don;t look very good, I will have to give it another shot.

Looks as though you all are very good sewers.

Those shirts are just incredible! I bought an embroidery machine a couple of months ago and have yet to take it out of the box! Now I want to plan another trip so I can do shirts like that! Sorry your son can't join you on the trip.

 

[*Toadstool*]

Hi there! thanks! I actually shrunk this in photobucket last year and I'm really too lazy to find the pic! But I did find the image I used to do the applique. It's actually done by hand (before I had an embroidery machine), but I have been tossing back and forth the idea of digitizing it.
Mickey-Minnie mistletoe

Thanks! It is hard to do characters side by side like that. Even with my big hoop I think they will still be pretty small. I was thinking about trying to do freehand embroidery instead with a big thing like that. I hope I have time to make a Christmas dress for the trip! It will probably be the last thing I make.

12 by 7 AND a Babylock serger?

I want to come play at your house

You can come run one of the machines while I run the other. I need all the help I can get.. *points at the ticker*

Ok Ladies,

Any suggestions?

www.emblibrary.com and search for cow

This is awesome!

thanks!

Haha.. she is all sparkly and silver and gold.

OOOHHH!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!

My embroidery machine decided it didn't like me anymore. So, I'm desperately looking for a different machine. I don't think I'll get anything this nice though! What did you name her?

Babylock has 36 months interest free financing.. just saying.
I didn't name her yet. I have no idea what to name a sewing machine. I've never done that.

I got that machine last year, it is wonderful, I just don't use it enough. Congrats

Oh good to hear someone who has one. It seems the Innovis 4500 is way more popular. Digitizing takes alot of patience and practice. I've been digitizing for a little over 4 years. I still learn things now. Carol Price has great Embird tutorials. There are alot of resources out there now to help people learn it. I get ideas in my head and can't find designs to match.. so thats why I started.

Thanks.

Hmm - where do you want her to start measuring from? I'd be happy to ask. I think she would get a kick out of lights - especially since they will be there on new years eve!!!! lol!!! This is so fun -thanks!!!

Its 5:30am here and I am WIDE AWAKE!!!!! Waiting for Billy to WAKE UP!!!!! I wonder how long this east coast timing will still work for me? I love getting up early!!! lol

Nini - you lived in GERMANY!!! WOW!!!!

Oh no!!! Well, at least when we get back it will be a short work week because of Thanksgiving!!! I gotta get ready for my Black Friday Shopping!!

Anyone else shop on BF? What are you going for this year?

 

[jessica52877]

Okay, 5 pages in one day! I never leave the house all day and was not home hardly at all yesterday and everyone was so chatty!

OMG... we are having lunch with OSO. I am assuming you got that on Heathersue's website! I will have to go shopping.

Oso I did by hand. I am sure it won't be long before you see a digital design though.

Anyway, I could never afford or justify a new machine at this level (my local shop wanted $8000 ), so I took the risk. I did get about $200 cash back through Bing cash back which was a reward program that was available at the time, but then I spent $200 to have it serviced. Regardless, I have been very happy with my purchase and I use it all the time. It had a lot of sewing use, but had almost zero embroidery use from the original owner. Just wanted to share a success story with buying a used machine. And if you can get one through a shop where you can actually see the machine and they know the original owner the risk is cut down considerably from what I did.

I would be so afraid to take a risk like that but obviously it worked out awesome!! So glad for you!

I bought beautiful Nutcracker designs last year!
http://www.secretsof.com/content/4242

We will be going to the Nutcracker this year, too! I'm so excited to see the Houston Ballet perform this classic! We're planning for me, my DD and my mom to go when my mom is in town for Christmas. It's a Christmas gift, and I can't wait!

I thought you had made a nutcracker dress!

I sit and watch my machine and hold my breath. Am I not supposed to do THAT? Everyone does, right???

Perfectly normal. I don't even breathe, maybe that is why I don't care for it and hate babysitting! LOL!

Love the Oso and so does my son. The Wolf shirt sounds like a great idea. I bet you will be getting lots of requests!

I wore the wolf shirt yesterday and already had a few moms talking about me making them one.

I'm thinking about making a Minnie style top and am just wondering where you guys get the pretty minnie dot fabric in red and white? The only place around here to buy fabric is Waldemort. Is there a good place online for fabric that's not super expensive?

Bummer that he can't join you. You are always the sweetest! I can't wait to check out your blog. I wish I kept up with mine.

I need help! One of you lovely ladies made this wonderful outfit:



What pattern is the pants on that? They are so cute!

Aww, she was so little! So little then! Not so much anymore! They all keep growing so fast!

Thanks for the compliments. I definitely agree that his getting a new job he is happier with is worth missing him. He won't be home for T-giving either, but my younger DS will be. Hopefully he will be home for Xmas, but only for a quick weekend. I may have to schedule a trip to Atlanta to see him as he won't be able to take vacation for the 1st 6 mos of his new job.

If you come to Atlanta I would LOVE to meet you somewhere. We live NE of Atlanta about 45 minutes so some places are much easier to get to then others but I am happy to travel!

Nini - you lived in GERMANY!!! WOW!!!!

Oh no!!! Well, at least when we get back it will be a short work week because of Thanksgiving!!! I gotta get ready for my Black Friday Shopping!!

Anyone else shop on BF? What are you going for this year?

Hi Wendy!! I am so happy for you! I hope you are still hanging out enjoying the sun rise and the beautiful Matterhorn peeking up over the trees! Did you get a top floor room? I forgot to ask!

Black Friday is pretty crazy around here. I know, it is everywhere. But it really is at the point that I won't take Dallas out until about 7 pm at night when most are gone. It used to not be a problem because hubby worked at Walmart but now that he doesn't no more. Then again, I don't tend to see anything we ever NEED. LOL! I would like the tomtom from Target though and hopefully it will be online or Lin will be off and I'll hit one at some point.
