Starting to think about Christmas

 Hello, everyone.

It's getting toward on Christmas if you're thinking about making things for people! Or making new decorations to expand what you already have.

I tried out a new embroidery pattern. (Thinking about doing it with Mylar shiny stuff but wanted to try it out just as it is first.)


This is a free-standing lace heart. It's being done in red, because Christmas, and it came out nicely. One little thing, though: if you're patching together the good parts of used pieces of wash-away stabilizer, you might not want to use those patched pieces for the free standing lace items. The patching stitching shows between the stitches.

But it's not super obvious.

My other new discovery is that stitching on the mylar stuff dulls the needle really, really fast.
