Dear Friends,
How fun to create embroidered Valentine’s day cards for your children, grandchildren or even yourself to share with loved ones and friends.
The Valentine’s Day Lollipop Holders are stitched on felt and make the perfect Valentine. There are 4 designs in the set and all are made in the 4 x 4 hoop. Step-by-step instructions with photos included. It is great for beginners who have never tried in-the-hoop embroidery before.
They can be found HERE in the Embroidery It Etsy Store.
Happy Embroidering,

Merry Christmas Eve to all of you.

Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for requesting more of the candy holders. I’m pleased to let you know that the Christmas Candy Holder set has now been released and is available in the Etsy shop. 
This is the PERFECT time for you to use that Embroidery glitter fabric or other fun fabric you have in your stash. Glittery fabric absolutely sparkles on the Christmas tree. Burlap is so popular right now and these ornaments work well with that as well. Also think about stitching on some beads or buttons. How sweet would that be!
These candy holder designs can be used as Christmas ornaments, attached to a package, place settings at the table, hung on doorknobs or hung on garland that spirals up the staircase. Let your imagination go!
A pine tree, wreath and bell are the three designs in the set and all are made in your 4 x 4 hoop. Step-by-step instructions included with many color photos.
Hop on over today and you can whip up a bunch this afternoon for your Christmas decorating.
And because I know many of you will be asking, I got my glitter fabric from BFC-Stash.
Blessings,
Nancy

Dear Friends,
I have something special I would like to share with you today. Let me tell you I am so excited because in my last newsletter I asked if there were bloggers who would like to collaborate with me to help spread the word about Embroidery It.

Vanessa from Vintage Barngirl was one to respond and she stitched out the Fall Gift Box Set. Vanessa, I love the colors you used for the boxes and that red and white bakers twine is adorable!!! Y’all can read her blog post about making these HERE.
Vanessa has a fun blog where she showcases beautiful embroidery, sewing and crafty goodness. She is my kind of girl and I know you are going to love poking around her blog!
Friends if you are a blogger and are interested in collaborating with me, just leave me a comment here or send me an e-mail. A quick and easy way is just to reply to any of my newsletters. I will get back to you with more details.

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,

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!
