I convo'd her on etsy. I did pay with a CC through pay pal.
I have noticed that I often don't get notice of Etsy convos and miss them for a few days. If you have her email, try contacting her that way. Did she answer everything up until a week ago? I'm more inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt and say she'll come through for you.
I have really enjoyed looking through this thread (for hours!
) and seeing all the great creations everyone has made. We just got home from Disney last week, so I thought I'd share a couple pics of what I made. I didn't have the kids model anything beforehand, so everything is action shots.
Thanks for letting me share! I can't wait to get started on next year's outfits!
Everything is so cute!!!! I just love the little Tink!
this is probably a silly question- but what in the world is an "in the hoop" project, and how in the world does that work?
It is a project (as opposed to something that you would sew on a shirt or outfit) that is stitiched out in the hoop. You can make dolls, doll clothes, bookmarks, chapstick holders, all sorts of things "in the hoop". I didn't get it either until I asked someone! If you search for in the hoop designs, you might get a better idea.
And Both my girls together
I love everything you posted!!!! Your girls are just so cute too!!! That Alice dress just makes me smile!
Too much cuteness!
I think Heathersue for embroidry is like Carla C for sewing- great for Novice to experienced, reliable, and definitelyhave the cute factor!
You made me smile saying that!
I think I am ready to jump back on the horse...or on the sewing machine as it is....and give it a try today....I have calmed down after this weekend...of course the unlimited supply of chocolate helps!
I'm glad the candy helped!
I have several pages to catch up on. I had my granddaughters all weekend and we made it to 2 Fall Festivals, 1 Car show (@ our church), and had a birthday party for my oldest daughter, who turned 30. Here are few pictures of the DGDs in their costumes...both Tiana!
Now I have to go back and catch up on the last few pages....
I love your take on the blue Tiana dress!!!! REALLY CUTE!!! Both dresses look fantastic! And, such cute little girls!
I am soo excited only 20 days left till our first trip!!!
So excited, but still have tons to do.
WOO HOOO!!!!
Anita - AMAZING!!! Love how the girls are holding their Prince!!!! lol!!!
Bill and I get the kids this coming weekend (Matt, Elizabeth, Tim and Hannah) while their parents are at a "conference" which happens to be at WDW - so they are taking a few extra days to enjoy themselves and relax before their oldest son's wedding on 1/2/11. I think we are going to do one of those indoor playgrounds on Saturday and then Coco Cay waterpark on SUnday. I also have some of those Disney Tshirts they had at Joanns for them to color, we will watch toy story 3 and Im SURE we will play Disney Apples to Apples six million times!!! I forgot to mention, we will also have their humungous Great Dane (we are watching them at their house) who tries to eat everything - including ZOEY!!!
Oh and YES the nativity design is in 5x7 - I got it last night!!
Im thinking of maybe doing a
Disneyland shirt for Billy and I for our trip...should I do short sleeves?
Keep Zoey safe!!!! and, have a blast Wendy!
NEW GIVE JUST POSTED!
This is a quick one, but let's make it EXTRA special! This family has NEVER been on a vacation, despite trying for the past 5 years. The wish child, Alexnder, will also be having a birthday while on this trip!!!!

They look like such a sweet family!!!
I've been lurking on this thread for months, drooling over what you all create. I have a basic sewing machine and have done some beginner sewing, but what I REALLY want to do is embroidery.
My DH told me to go ahead and order a machine for Christmas. I searched and searched, but a 5x7 or larger hoop just was not in the budget, so I went with a Brother machine with a 4x4 hoop.
Now I'm worried I'll get it and wont' be able to do much due to the size restriction. I'm mostly sewing for my toddlers, so I HOPE the 4x4 will hold me for a while - if I get comfortable with it, hopefully I can upgrade.
So, those of you with 4x4 hoops - please show me some examples of what you've been able to do to reassure me!!!!
Heather makes all her designs in a 4X4 design (I like to think she does this because her poor sister only has a 4X4 hoop...) So, you won't be lacking any great designs! Here is what I've made with the 4X4:
All but the tiara on the purple dress and the Bambi on the blue dress are Heather's designs. Oh, and the book on the Belle.
The dress is so pretty!! And great job on the hat!
I love my 4x4. There are tons of designs out there. I also have toddlers so I couldn't use much bigger right now. But I can see a huge case of hoop envy in my future. But maybe by then we'll both hit the lottery, or the mbroidery machine fairy will fly over our houses........
HEY it could happen RIGHT???
If the embroidery fairy comes to your house, send her here too, ok?
I got through to Singer, and it looks like my timing is off.....uggghhh. Luckily, it is just a few months old and is still under warranty. Thanks to you ladies for you help anyways!!! I really appreciate it!
I was going to say I thought it was the timing. I'm glad it's under warranty!
You made me go and check out the HSN again, for maybe the fiftieth time!!! Anyway, I noticed in one of the reviews, someone posted that they bought the 12x5 inch hoop at their local sewing store to use with the machine. They can use it with this machine? Could that be true? ONe of the main reasons I haven't taken the plunge to getting an embroidery machine was b/c I wanted to wait to get a bigger hoop size. I want to be able to embroider my kids names without having to re-hoop and my kids have a lot of letters in their names! I have a Christopher and am afraid I need more than 7 inches to do his name!!! What do you think?
I wonder if it's a multi position hoop?
ETA: I see Nini said this already!
Hello...... has anyone seen any Dr Suess machine applique patterns?
Thanks!!
