After the brad was applied, I added a piece of patterned card stock to the back of the door hanger and stitched around the edges with my sewing machine. A ribbon hanger was added to the top of each one with another line of stitching across the top. ~ trust your heart ~ believe in […]

Door Hangers – 2
Each door hanger is created similarly to how I make them the fabric ones. I trace the girl pattern pieces onto WonderUnder and fuse it to paper, instead of fabric, to create the girls. I use a Micron pen to outline around the girl. Sticky back ribbon makes her belt and two layers of lace […]
Door Hangers

Merry Holiday
A small tree on it’s way home via the basket on a gray bike. Bring wishes for a happy holiday! The bar code on the chain guard is probably my favorite part. Merry Bike – Gray (13.5†x 10) Hope you are having a fun and relaxing holiday.

I did so not stitching the words left to right but rather top to bottom. Like writing sideways – I was surprised how […]
Bike Merry
I tried a new bike pattern. The basket is on the back and it seemed great for holding holiday fun. ‘Merry merry bike’ is quilted into the background. Merry Bike – Yellow (13.5†x 10)
Happy Feeling
Shopping bags filled with goodies. She has a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy (5.5†x 12â€)

You see just the outline of the people…it makes me wonder if I could draw the people with my sewing machine without tracing the appliqué pieces. This dreamy night sky backing is wonderful – sort of like finding a constellation in the stars.
