Big Footed Lamb

I finished another Big Footed Lamb, this time for my son's friend.  She is going to participate at Bloemshow's sheep shearing competitions which will be held between the 27th April and the 6th of May.

The design is from Dolls and Daydreams and can be found here.

Big Footed Friends

I received my first order for Big Footed Friends, an elephant and a lamb.   

Although the stitching time on the machine for all the parts is a mere half an hour, it takes a few hours to complete them.  They are completely made in the hoop, so one has to be careful to not catch the limbs in the body's seams.  I also slow the machine down as to help the foot go over the lumpy parts smoothly and to not get stuck as the whole toy could be ripped out of the frame, needles broken etc.

The designs are available from Dolls and Daydreams

Teddy Bears

As part of our Oranje quilters guild outreach program, we donate teddy bears to one of our local hospitals annually.  Great was my surprise when I discovered that I could stitch up 10 different bears with all the embroidery designs I have.  I bought some polar fleece and started stitching and thoroughly enjoyed the process.

All the bears were made in the hoop with the only hand stitching being done was closing up the opening where the bears were stuffed.

The teddy bear on the left is from Bee Stitchin Embroidery , the centre one is from Baby Embroidery Shop and Little Ted on the right is a free design from Kreative Kiwi Embroidery

These 2 beauties are also available for free from Kreative Kiwi Embroidery

This adorable bear is from the big footed collection of Dolls and Daydreams

and last but not least, this beautiful Flower Teddy from Louisa Meyer Originals which I embroidered on bridal satin.

This was so much fun.
