Happy Apple Embroidery

This one’s for those of you with an embroidery machine.  I designed these happy little apples last year, but never got around to sewing them out.  Just stumbled across the file this morning and thought I’d share.  The design is 4.8″x3.1″ with a quick and easy stitch count of 1460.  I’m attaching it here in several formats.  I think it would be sweet on a little tee, a tote bag, or my drawstring backpack from last week.  Happy Sewing!

Oh, and I have to mention that this design is for personal use only.  Please don’t sell stuff made from this without my permission.  Thanks!

Monogram Pillowcases

I cranked up the embroidery machine this afternoon to monogram these organic cotton pillowcases for my mother-in-law.  I haven’t been very interested in machine embroidery lately, but it always makes a nice gift.
