Embroidery on leaves

Last nite I attended an event at Milwaukee Sewing for the embroidery club that I belong to. The event included an educator from Brother...her name was Barb. She was fantastic, and showed us many things. But she made my night when she showed us these.

Yes that's right...she embroidered names onto faux fall leaves. She uses them as place tags for Thanksgiving.

Genius.

My mind is spinning with all sorts of ideas for embroidery on leaves now. I'll be stopping at Michaels on my way home to buy some leaves. I can't wait to get into my studio and play!

Happy Thursday everyone - Kat  :) 

Grape Ape

DH and I recently spent five days in my favorite state, California! I didn't get to visit any quilt shops...but I did see lots of grapes.

And of course there was wine.

 I also really enjoyed digitizing palm trees and beach scenes while in sunny Cali. It was the perfect setting.

Those designs and more will be coming soon, as I'm just putting the finishing touches on my website now.  I'm soo excited to share it with you all!

Till next time
