~AD Clowns & the Grand Canyon @ BFC !

~~~~~~~TIP~~~~~~~ One of the best investments a stitcher can make are sharp thread clippers. Nothing can spoil an embroidery like little pokies sticking up. Purchase the best clippers you can afford and make sure the blades are thin enough to get right down to the surface of the fabric. (I have often found it is not the most expensive clippers that work the best - try some at your sewing shop if possible) Use tweezers to hold the thread perpendicular if it is too short to grab with your fingers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW DESIGNS: All new designs are on INTRODUCTORY PRICING (except fun sets) and all have FREE SAMPLES. Be sure to collect all the prior free designs on the design set pages!

*SEND IN THE CLOWNS* By Rick's request, Suz has done a set of clowns. These are realistic clowns as they have been done from actual photos. Be sure to check out Rick's layout - I think it would make a great quilt!

*WINDOW - THE GRAND CANYON* by Fred Fred is capturing the magnificence of one of our natural wonders in this pre pay set.

*WINDOW - NEW ENGLAND CHARM* Carol Dufour has generously allowed Suz to use one of her paintings for this quaint New England scene. The colors are gorgeous and of course she is partial to New England. :) The set is on Pre Pay and a new design has been added today. For purchasers, please download all the designs today as I made changes to 08 and 32.

*BIG CATS* by Fred I keep think each of Fred's animal sets is the ultimate until I see his next one. These cats come right off the screen and would grace any project. They'd also be great for Father's Day gifts!

*INDONESIAN BATIK INFLUENCE* This set us based on the great Batik fabrics that are a symbol of Indonesia. Also included are background designs to create your own *Batik* fabric. Instructions included for illustrated pillow.

*QUILT IN THE HOOP CHRISTMAS STOCKING I* The first of many stockings for Christmas. This one has Santa sneaking down the chimney bringing lots of toys. There is a patchwork back too that you can use to create totally different stockings if you wish. This set makes a 14.5 inch long stocking in the medium size and a 17.5 inch in the large. I will be having other stockings for the 4x4 hoop soon.

*SPACE QUILTABLES* *WINDOW - BLUE STUDY WITH BIRDS* by Fred *CORNERS AND MORE*
