One more Dresser and Nightstand Set

This time it is for my guest bedroom. The fabric I used is 100% linen. The designs are from the Cutwork Special 1, by “HIA” and the lace set is by “AS”, and is called Vintage Fabric and Lace Set 3. Again, it stitched out very nicely and it looks…

Another Dresser and Nightstand Set

This one is for myself. As my DH finished the furniture for our bedroom, I wanted something nice to dress it up, and the beautiful lace from “S-Embroideries” was just the right choice for me. They just stitch out perfectly. The dresser runner is further enhanced with a tone on…

Laces, Laces, Laces…

Embroidered Necklines

Using applique designs as cutwork to shape a neckline was a lot of work in software but the outcome was well worth it. I used the Applique Hibiscus design from Allsorts of Embroidery to create the neckline for a T-shirt. The blue one was the trial piece and I liked…
