A fun application to choose some decorative stitches to add… as well as ribbons and other ‘leftover’ things I always keep in my studio. It’s important, I have found, to keep these ‘little bits and pieces’ very handy, and in one tupperware container. Now I don’t always do it that way, and sometimes I just cut bits and pieces off the original reel or skein; whichever works best for me at the time I want to get the party started with my sewing machine!
Ah. There’s the sparkle I love about this ribbon! And these are cut from my fabric paper ‘not-so-fond-of’ pieces, and they become so much more interesting visually when they get cut up from the original large piece. I love using them in this way. “Sew” fun to personalize, too. And the flower is a fused cut out from a large scale piece of fabric.
And text… can’t get enough of some text showing up hither and yon!
And I have a few more stacks I’ve made… can’t wait to dive in. A whole day to sew. Yippee Skipee!
And I was very much taken by the words on my Max Lucado devotion for DECEMBER 26th, which sits on my desk…
I hope you have a very sweet day and every place you live will be a Bethlehem as we go forward into this holiday week, treasuring Christmas in our hearts.
More thoughts. More writing. More thinking about quilting and projects I want to tackle and finish. And always, more pictures coming!
EnJOY! Be BLESSED.
SOLI DEO GLORIA.

ah, MarveLes Leslie, did you know…
But I don't know how you get your lettering on. The 4th and 5th photos in particular show writing on top of the background. Do you scan/print, screen print or stamp? This inquiring mind needs to know!
