BOOM! Embroidered cocktail napkins. Don't think I'm gonna offer you plain cocktail napkins and not give you some ideas for what to stitch on them. Did you think that? You better not have. Don't even. (Do you like the drunk-test eye chart?)

This contest is open to everyone. If this is the first you're hearing of it, go take a look! 

Squee! I can't believe it! ModCloth (steadying myself) named a dress after me! I am so, so flattered. I don't know what to do with myself. I'm running in circles around my studio like a total spaz. It's even covered in Eiffel Towers, mom! Okay. I'm calm now.

To return the love, I designed a FREE sheet of ModCloth-themed patterns! Find them at the end of my Best Job Ever interview. What are the patterns good for? Why, embroidering on your new ModCloth shirt, skirt or dress, of course! Okay, I'll stop shouting.

If you are visiting my site for the first time via ModCloth -hullo there! I dare you to try hand embroidery.
Wondering how to get started?

My Ultimate Embroidery Kit will set you up. Or maybe, some Iron-on Embroidery Patterns are all you need? Have you downloaded the free designs? You'll prolly need some Carbon Paper. Do you just want to know how to embroider? I am here for you. Let's get you stitching, and we'll skip the geese in bonnets, mkay? Mkay.

~ Thank you ModCloth! I can't wait to see my cute, namesake dress in person! ~

♥ FREE PATTERN ♥ HUG BOT ♥

It's been a really bleh, rainy day today. So, I decided to:

• try redwork for the first time 
• stitch up this "HUG BOT" sketch I had floating around on my desk
• make it free pattern for you! (it's attached below)

Hug Bot is probably best for kids, but hey -he made me feel better. Hug Bot would look good on the front of a girl's romper or boy's shirt. Hug Bot is here to hug you! Wait! I have evil robots too!

You might need transfer paper or a transfer pen. And, if you're wondering where all the free stuff went, never fear! New ones will be posted to the blog. Watch this space. After you do some stitching. Then, come back and watch this space.
