Howdy all!
I got to do a little sewing yesterday. It was great to get "Jan" out and get her humming again. Yup, THAT's it! "Jan". Do you remember I had asked the question of what to name my New Home when I first got it? Well, just now as I was typing that sentence, it came to me - Janome was the actual manufacturer sooooo, JAN short for Janome!
The name "Flora" popped into my head yesterday (out of nowhere), however Cass' 1980's Singer is getting that name. It's plain white , so we dressed it up with some floral and dragonfly stickers. It's a whole 'bunch' cuter now!

About the Sunbonnets - a month or so ago I got the nudge to try my hand at a little embroidery. I have a quilting magazine that's all about Sunbonnet Sue and figured it a good spot to look for something to trace. It was. I picked this bouquet holding couple, traced and stitched it up using the outline, lazy daisy, and I think it's called the wheat stitch. I even took the liberty of a little extra detailing like Sue's bonnet band and apron trim, as well as giving Sam a pocket & flower and the little wheat at the bottom of his pant leg (to coordinate with his life's love).
Sewing yesterday consisted of strip piecing various fabrics to frame out this cute couple. Nothing too elaborate - but BOY, is it CUTE!
After a little squaring up, I think it'll be a wall hanging, maybe a pillow. We'll see!
Thanks for reading. Have a blessed day!
Bye, all!
Okay lets hope I can really get this to save on the first try. I love the Sun Bonnet Sue! I see you got the stitching down without any any problems at all. Love the art work on the Singer it certainly adds personality. I do believe they sew so much better when they have a name and a new 'outfit' so to speak! It's part of the bonding experience.

I like the thought of the "bonding experience", maybe my machine wouldn't fight back if we bonded, lol. Love the sunbonnet sue! And the border too, super cute:) I had thought about stickers on my machine, but can't decide what kind.
