It seems like some motifs just always go well together and I learned that again as I played around with a new floral machine embroidery applique design. Here is what one of them looks like in reds/pinks:I love how much those embroidered details add to the overall “feel” of the flower. Here’s one that was stitched in oranges:Ooh-la-la! I made this to use as a short border design for a quilt. Here’s how the whole border came out:I think I’m in love!In completely other news that has nothing to do with the design above, I need to announce a large price increase in both of our suspension systems that will occur beginning 11/1/16. Our costs have risen and there is no way around this. If you have been thinking about purchasing one of these systems (what a great Hanukkah or Christmas present that would be!), I would make that purchase before 11/1/16.#1 suspension system (pictured above) will rise from $74.99 to $94.99……and suspension system #2 (above) will rise from $94.99 to $109.99. We apologize for the price increase and hope you will take advantage of the current prices.
