3 new appliqe designs

Just added 3 new designs to the applique slide show: watermelon, bird, bunny. I thought all of these would be cute for the Spring/Summer. The bunny and bird could also work for baby gifts (bibs, burp pads, onsies, etc).

Here goes.....

My sister has convinced me that starting a blog would be a great way to share my sewing projects with those of you who are interested. This started as a labor of love for me to sew for my kids as well as my nieces and nephew. I recently got an embroidery machine, so I've had a blast experimenting with monogram and applique designs! Buy a $3.50 t-shirt from Wal-Mart, put a simple monogram or applique on it, and it looks like something you would buy in the stores for at least $25.00. I would be happy to do any monogramming or appliqueing for you with the designs I have. All monograms will be $5.00 and appliques will be $7.00. (That mainly just covers the cost for my materials and time). I have some fabric of my own for appliques that you are welcome to choose from, or you can use your own. I have included some pics of my fabric choices as well as some recent projects. Please feel free to e-mail me (amthames@gmail.com) with any questions or orders:)
