Design Wall ~ Monday, May 14, 2012

Not much done this week, but this is my sample for the Super Sew Day on May 5th.  Actually, I forgot to take a picture of this cute little wristlet last week, so I'm week late with getting it posted.  

The wristlet was fun to make.  It is all done in the embroidery hoop on the B~830.  Imported the sewing stitches for quilting, raw edge applique and initials.



What are you working on?

Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times and see what is new on every one's design walls this week.

These are pictures from the Bernina Software Club that I teach at Bernina Northwest in Seattle.

Pat H. made these two quilts.   The quilt on the left is Western Washington Shop Hop 2010.  Pat makes all of her "shop hop" quilts.  The quilt on the right is a baby quilt that Pat makes for every new baby in her church.  It is called Tool Box.











Maxine E. made these quilts.  The quilt on the left is a very cute Hennietta Whiskers from Bunny Hill designs.  The Quilt on the right is a pretty Christmas quilt "Snow Kissed Stars" from McCalls Quilting Nov/Dec 2011 issue.

 Maxine finished her Chloe Quilt.  Isn't it beautiful?  She made pillowcases using the Chloe embroidery designs.

 Maxine digitized the embroidery designs for these towels.  They are going to be gifts.  The light colored towels look beautiful with embossed monogram embroidery.

Chloe Quilt - Show and Tell

Maxine E.  did these Chloe Quilt blocks.   

Aren't these blocks pretty?

BU pictures - part 2

Just for fun I thought I would post some pictures from BU of the software classes I took.  Alphabet Aerobics with Debbi Lashbrook was not only a good review but some  tips and ideas using Art Canvas.

CorelDRAW and Art Canvas Class with Amanda Whitlatch was great fun giving me new ideas.  I'm getting to like the idea of mixed media using pictures.  I didn't think I would!

Cut 1, 2, 3 with Amanda Whitlatch was great.  I have way too many ideas for this tool and software.  Can I please have more hours in a day to play?








Some of the pictures may be mixed up.    Unfortunately some were not very good and I deleted them.  I need to learn more about using my camera and editing photos.  Another challenge.

BU pictures – part 1

Here are some of the pictures from the sewing and lecture classes I took.   On the first day I had a chance to say   “Hello”   to Kari Curley.  She works very hard being the “list Mom” on several lists and does a great job.  Kudos to Kari for all your hard work.


I went to some fun Creative Clinics which are a little like a Show ‘ Tell of what products you can buy depending on the vendor.  Below are pictures from Simon Haskins seminar - he had absolutely beautiful samples for us to see.

Some fun ideas from the All About Blanks. 

  Some of the others presented by Bernina Educators are ideas of things you can do in your store.  Below  are those pictures.

I went to Best Foot Forward with Jo Leichte and Debra Rutledge.    A fun class using different feet.  We’ve been using this pattern in our store for the last year for a beginners class and it is a favorite.

Embroidery DIY with Kay Hickman and Judy Hahner.    Some fun ideas for a another little purse. 

CutWork Applique Ornament with Angie Steveson, lunch box Quilts.  She is a fun and generous teacher.  Enjoyed her class.
