Masks for Tyler Smith's Girls

 Lisa has been dating Tyler Smith for five months. This weekend he is introducing his two daughters to her, and she asked me if I would make them masks embroidered with their names. I hadn't done that before, but was willing to try and I am very happy with how they turned out.

Ashley's Nativity Tablecloth

I've had four yards of this Nativity fabric for years. 

Since my fabric storage is becoming cramped, I decided to pull it out and make a tablecloth for Ashley.

Kyle was happy to secretly measure the table while Ashley was in the shower. The table was not a standard size - it measured 46 x 100. This was going to be a tricky project.

I did some sketches, trying to plan out the best way to cut the fabric. Hoping that Craig would see a different way that that could be done, I had him take a look at my drawings.

He sketched out some diagrams himself but didn't realize that three seams on a tablecloth would not look good. Neither would having the tablecloth hang over the sides by only an inch. (Post-hemming would make that about a half inch.)

I went ahead and cut it as my second diagram showed and stitched it together. It won't completely cover their table, but I still think it will look nice.

The first (sewn) gift of Christmas 2020!

Embroidered Model Horse Blankets & Haversacks

 I am experimenting with my embroidery machine. Ultimately, I'd love to make these for gifts as well as sell them in Horsiemama's Mercantile.

This one I made for Liz Cory. Glengarry is her stable name.

Melissa's Halloween Pillowcase

 I wonder if this will be my last round of pillowcases to make? Melissa is our youngest grandbaby and I think several of our kids are finished adding children to their families. Maybe I'd better enjoy this set, just in case.

I used my new embroidery machine to put "Trick or Treat!!" on it. I think I may embroider all of hers. :)
