What a wonderful week it has been.  The weekend had me on the other side of the state at the Michigan Embroidery Fest where I had two days of fun and inspiration.  Gosh, seeing what everyone is working on was wonderful.  You just can’t beat a room full of machine embroiderers.  They are the best people ever.  The Michigan embroiderers meet twice a year, in the spring and fall to share, learn and have a great time.

I did a demo on Friday night.  I showed my canning jar lids and matching tags with a bonus, an adorable Post-It Note cover.  There were three demos on Saturday along with lots of door prizes, raffles, and shopping.  I won a beautiful yard of Christmas fabric as a door prize!  The Saturday demos consisted of free-standing lace presented by a local fabric/sewing shop.  The second demo was how to make a customized iPad and laptop case presented by Bonnie, the leader of the group.  The third demo on Saturday was a beautiful faux chenille technique presented by Michelle, my personal friend of Needle Little Embroidery.

My latest Mason jar design is perfect for using to cover a pack of Post-It notes.  I will post a tutorial on making the cover this week.
