Dear Friends,
I want to share with you Embroidery It’s newest designs called Ornament Overlays.
If you have a group of people you want to give a small gift to this Christmas, then look no further. These make perfect gifts for your Sunday School class, Bunco group, quilt guild and so much more. If you are hosting a Christmas party they make great party favors for your guests.
They are made entirely in the 4 x 4 hoop and require just a dot of tacky glue to hold in place on the ornament.
I used both glass and plastic ornaments and also used several sizes. Fun, easy and cute!
Happy Embroidering,
Nancy

Dear Friends,
The letter E has been released in both 3 super sizes and 3 regular sizes. The oversized letter E requires hoops larger than a 5 x 7 and the regular sizes can be made in the 5 x 7 and 4 x 4 hoop. Please see the description both here on the website and in the Embroidery It Etsy store for exact measurements.
It is a good size for those large monogramming needs.
Blessings,

Dear Friends,
It has been a good week. We’ve been to visit Emily at college and meet some of her sorority sisters as well as take her out to dinner one evening.
I feel productive in that we have accomplished much around the house this week so things just feel in order and feel peaceful. I need that. I strive for calm and peace in our home. More often than not it isn’t this way. It isn’t necessarily chaos, but I don’t like it when I have that nagging feeling that this or that needs to be done. So as I go to bed tonight I am thankful.
But before I go to bed, I want to give a quick reminder to grab the Let’s Celebrate Banner Letter G while it is free on the website homepage. It will be here until Wednesday when I will change it to the letter H. After that point it goes up for sale in the Embroidery It Etsy shop.
Sending each of you a warm hug and I’m hoping you have had a simply wonderful week.
Blessings,
Nancy

Dear Friends,
Fall is just around the corner here. In fact the other morning I woke up to 44 degree temperatures and I’ve seen the first of the leaves starting to turn. I love the colors of fall but I don’t necessarily like what comes after fall. We get way too much snow up here.
Anyway, in being inspired by the cooler temperatures I created a fun in-the-hoop fall gift box set. In the hoop projects are some of my favorite when doing machine embroidery and I hope you enjoy them too.
These sweet little gift boxes are just the right size to hold a few pieces of candy, a bar of homemade soap, a piece of jewelry or other small gift.
They require a 5 x 7 hoop to make them and there are 4 different designs in this set. All you need is a piece of felt and a piece of fabric, both about 5 1/2″ square and a little ribbon or yarn. You can find the set HERE in the Embroidery It Etsy store.
And if you want more, there is a Spring Set which can be found HERE.
Enjoy everyone,
Nancy

Dear Friends,
The letter F in the Let’s Celebrate machine embroidered banner has just been released. Get it for free this week down at the bottom of my home page. All previous letters are available in the Embroidery It Etsy store for just $1.50 each.
You can use these letters to create words and make decorations for a party. Or you can spell out seasonal words and phrases and use the banner as a home décor item. Banners are hugely popular these days and creating these banners is a fun, easy and quick project.
The letters have just a hint of applique and the edges are intentionally left a little big raggedy for that homespun look. I’ve stitched mine that you see in the photos on felt and then trimmed about 1/4 inch outside the decorative stitching with pinking shears.
Enjoy!

Dear Friends,
I’m happy to announce the debut of oversized machine embroidery monograms!
Now that I have a larger machine I am excited to try larger size digitizing and I’m starting with my script monograms.
Each letter is/will be offered individually in 3 sizes which require hoops larger than 5 x 7.
These oversized monograms will be perfect for items such a pillows, seat covers, grill covers, Christmas tree skirts, wall hangings and so much more.
Currently one letter is released at a time – approximately a new letter each week. As each new letter is released it will be offered for only $1.00 which will be %50 off the regular price.
Now for those of you whose hoop size is 5 x 7 or smaller, never fear. A regular size set of the same letter, again in 3 sizes is also available. As with the oversized set, this regular sized set is also offered at an introductory price of only $1.00.
These smaller sized monograms will look beautiful on items such as shirts, jackets and more!
Enjoy working with monograms friends. I’d love to hear what you enjoy stitching monograms on.

Dear Friends,
My latest designs have been inspired by out daughter Katie who as you know is currently serving in the Air Force. Katie loves horses. Actually she loves all animals and for a long time she wanted to be a veterinarian. When she finishes her time in the Air Force, which will be next May, she plans to study equine dentistry and become a horse dentist. She hopes to live on a farm where she can raise lots of animals and little critters. She has the heart of St. Francis.
Remember the “Barn Girl” jacket she asked me to embroider for her.
There are three horseshoe applique designs and they are sold individually. There is a small single horseshoe which fits the 4 x 4 hoop, a large single horseshoe for the 5 x 7 hoop, and a double horseshoe which fits the 5 x 7 hoop.
The final stitching of the design is the nails in the horseshoe. These may be eliminated and you may replace them with rhinestones or sequins for an added touch. A bow also adds a bit of fun.
The designs may be found in my Etsy store.
Blessings,
Nancy

Dear Friends,
Just outside my window, mama robin has a big belly full of eggs!
Spring is working it’s way up to Michigan! It is up to 60 degrees today and the birds have been chirping all day long. Beautiful new life is showing itself all around and I couldn’t be happier! Today is such a nice day for sure.
With all this new life, I have a sweet new set I now have HERE in the Embroidery It Etsy store.
It is a Baby Clothes Closet Organizer. This design is just in time being the perfect gift for the new mom or mom-to-be. It will help keep her closet organized by separating the baby clothing into the appropriate sizes. No more searching for clothes that fit her growing baby.
The design can be done in pink or blue colors if she knows the gender or stitch it in the colors to match her nursery. It is a gift any new mama will greatly appreciate.
This contains 7 designs. Newborn, 3 Months, 6 Months, 9 Months, 12 Months, 18 Months and 24 Months. It fits closet rods up to 1 3/8″ diameter. It is all done in the 4 x 4 hoop.
Happy Spring everyone!!

What a difference just one week makes with my kitchen skin herbs. Makes me smile. I love spring!
Hi Friends,
I’ve been having so much fun with my Rick Rack Alphabet! My embroidery machine has been busy. As the snow melts I’m certainly looking forward to warmer weather. I also wanted to create a banner for my eat in kitchen area. I will be putting the banner up very soon!
Can’t you just tell I’m dreaming that the thermometer will soon rise 🙂
Then I’ve always had in the back of my mind spelling out “Merry Christmas” with the Rick Rack Alphabet and using silver rick rack. I got started with the letter M this past week. Along with the yo-yo looking like a flower, it certainly looks like a lollypop so I’m going with the candy theme here. The little embellishments are from “Dress It Up.”
Finally, more requests have been coming in asking for the remaining Rick Rack Alphabet letters. I don’t have them all completed but here is what I am going to do. The letters will still be free, one each week, but as I complete other letters further down the alphabet, I will have them in my Etsy store. This way if you don’t want to wait for them to be free, you have the option of grabbing them sooner. I won’t promise when the additional letters will be available, so be sure to pick in from time to time.
Hugs to each of you.
Remember…Be creative daily and live life beautifully.
