What's New

  Do you remember the smell of freshly sharpened pencils, brand new school supplies, and fresh book covers made from brown paper bags? Oops....I think I just dated myself! Notebooks ready to be doodled on? This is a project perfect for students and teachers alike - a fresh new way to doodle with thread! It is packed with Sulky products because they have everything!

I want to share with you how I used Alison Glass embroidery transfers to build a design to use in the center of one of my Kwik Sparklers EPP blocks using Sulky Stick’n Stitch product.

Today I am linking up with Andover Fabrics to do a tutorial for Fabric Boxes. This is my first link up and I am so excited!  I made my first fabric box with my friend Becky in March.
