Somebody had fun with Cutwork!
Initially, I wanted to make the Rose of Sharon blocks using the AccuquiltGo! cutter. Once I got the die home, I realized that the sizes of the shapes were not the same sizes as the shapes I was going to applique using my Rose of Sharon Crafter’s Collection and my embroidery machine. It was back to the drawing board…<enter Bernina Cutwork Accessory and Software>! I cannot tell you how much fun I had turning these gorgeous embroidery designs into cutwork…not to mention the headache and handaches averted by not having to cut each teeny tiny shape by hand! I hope you enjoy the pictures! My little quilt is in Racine, and I’m working on another for the Decorah store as well. WAY FUN! -Suzie
Retreat #2 at Hotel Winneshiek
We had THE BEST time at Hotel Winneshiek this past weekend! Everyone got a ton of projects completed, the food was wonderful, the dumbest notion contest was a blast, AND the continual pranking between Ardie and Marcia kept us all entertained and on our toes! Please enjoy some of our pictures…
