NEW PROJECTS

I have two new projects in the works. Both are from patterns by Cheri Saffiote-Payne. Both are smaller size projects.
Above is picture of "Grace". I need to do the raw edge machine applique and then do the embroidery. The words to be embroidered say, "May all your days be graced with knidness". It shouldn't take very long to do.

Below is a picture of one of the little wall hangings in a pattern called "Sew Good". The pattern has three small wall hangings you can select from. This one needs the raw edge machine applique done and embroidering of the stems and words. The words say, "When this you see, think of me". It also has May, 2010 to embroider so I had better get busy because May is almost over.
I like almost every pattern Cheri has put out. I know there are lots of other bloggers who feel the same way.

It is a beautiful day in Florida. The space ship Atlantis landed a little earlier this morning. My husband was outside and saw it go over our area as we heard the twin sonic booms. A safe landing.

I need to get busy. Have a great day!

Lovely pieces. Nice to add a new designer (for me) to my applique folder for when I become blessed with the patience to do more applique. Hey! I'm working on it!

Yep, I love all of Cheri's designs, too! :-) I've been thinking about making Grace, so cute! Are you making the Folkart Gathering pattern along with Cheri? I have the first two parts, but haven't started yet.

They both look like fun projects! Enjoy.

Gotta love those Cheri patterns. Wasn't there a blog or something like that dedicated to the Cheri fans at one time? Wish we could get a "Cheri club" started on-line somehow.

Colleen said...

Love love love!! And I like the idea of a Cheri club!!

Lovely new projects, Karen! So very inspiring...

Marjan said...

I forgot to say: how enormously fascinating being able to hear the sonic booms of a space shuttle... and to see it go above your head... A very special experience! It won't happen very often again any more in the future, I understand.

Myra said...
