My favorite applique site

I wanted to say thanks to Embroidery Boutique for having some of the most precious applique designs I have seen! Those are where almost all of my designs have come from. If any of you see one on their website that you would like me to add to my collection, let me know. See the link to their site on the top right of my blog:)

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:)
