Autumn Approaches

Despite all of the challengers with computers and wifi while we were away from the studio for more than month, we managed to get our September "Party with Patrick" club materials out on time today. It looks like the three embroidery clubs will be a day late and we're really sorry about that, but the circumstances were really out of our control. If you're a member of our embroidery clubs, thanks for understanding and we're confident that the really cute designs will make up for it.

This month's "Happy Harvest" hot pads/trivets, from "Party with Patrick", are super-easy fusible applique and quick to make using Warm Company's Insul-Bright batting. They're even easier if you have an embroidery machine because you can make the entire hot pad in the hoop, except for the binding. The digitized apple and pear designs even include the quilted grid in the background. Of course you need an 8" or larger hoop to be able to stitch designs like this. If you do, you can get more info or purchase the digital files, here.

It's hard for me to even believe that we're sending out fall designs already but, if the year has to fly by so quickly, at least I can say I love designing for fall and winter! I hope you're ready for what I come up with.
