New paperpiecing in the hoop designs

Wow, I've been working on these since 2003.  I've finally finished some samples for the block of the month demos at the local sewing store.  I will also be demonstrating this technique at the Original Sewing and Quilt Expo in Schuamburg, IL, at the Viking Booth #

I have alot more completed but not actual samples, all will be on sale for purchase individually or in sets at VDBC website with instant downloads in multi-format embroideries.

Paperpiecing in the hoop is a paperpiecing pattern digitized to let your embroidery machine stitch it perfect for you.  Most designs are made up of four squares that when sewn together create a perfect quilt block and unlike traditional paperpiecing, there is no paper to remove afterward.

Files will be uploaded to the website this weekend, so be on the lookout for them come March 19, 2012.

Here are some pics of the samples I made for the Bedrunner for my guest bedroom.

New Owl stuffed toy or pincushion made in the hoop, no sewing

I am working on a series of pincushions, although they can be used as stuffed animals as they have no loose parts or buttons.  They are made completely in the hoop, no sewing.  Depending on how creative you want to get, you may need to hoop some parts separately.  Click HERE to purchase this owl in the hoop embroidery design

My contribution to the "Italian Basket" for a school raffle

I was asked for a $5.00 donation, but as you well know, i couldn't just do that.  I wanted to make something special that you couldnt buy with the money we would all donate.  Here is what i came up with.
Two hand towels, four napkins, and four wine glass coasters.

Lace page marker bookmarks in the hoop!

I saw a few appliqued in the hoop versions online, but i wanted some for gifts that were fancier.  So I came up with this freestanding lace/fabric combo.  I have the embroidery designs for sale on my WEBSITE on the bottom of the page.  Most formats are offered, and more can be created, just pick dst and add a note in paypal or email me directly

There are three different versions and each set contains all the letters of the alphabet plus a blank one to add your own font or embroidery design.

Here are the appliqued versions, also for sale.

These will make great gifts for teachers, and women of all ages.  I have some "manly" versions as well as some for teens, so check back soon as I need to make the samples for them.
