This is my first annual Christmas card crafting. It is made from fabric, roving, yarn and beads. It was needle felted and embellished with my new Babylock embellisher. See the card here.
Sashiko, (SA-SHEE-KOE) is a form of quilting originating from Japan.
In this case, I used the stitch to embellish a ready made shirt. I have a Sashiko machine (sashiko is usually done by hand!) to create this hand stitch which I love but have neither the patience nor skill to do by hand!

This quilt was inspired by a retro clock that I saw hanging in a vintage store. The color scheme is very spring/summer inspired, and gives the finished product a nice fresh feel. The gray cotton twill lines and fabric circles are all machine appliqued onto a white background with a zig-zag stitch.
The quilt backing is a corresponding fabric, complete with another gray line and appliqued circles.
The quilt is all machine quilted using my BabyLock Sashiko machine, which gives it a hand-quilted look (look at close-up photos).

This is my first "modern" quilt. Last fall I inherited my mother's fabric stash and fabulous embroidery/sewing machines. My mom made beautiful traditional quilts. So in honor of my mom, all of the fabric in this quilt from my mom's stash, sewn on her wonderful Babylock. The dragonfly design is from Urban Threads. The pattern is from Moda's Bake Shop/Melissa Corry - Soda Pop and Change.

This was created with my new Babylock Embellisher, I used roving, scraps of yarn and wool, fabric and roving. And I finally used my bead stash to finish it off. I'll post the whole image once I send out my Christmas cards.
I'm always losing my seam ripper. Which sucks cause I need it all the time. I'm always knocking it onto the floor or its under a pile of stuff. I even bought like four of them a couple of months ago and still can never find one. I saw a lady at one of the laundry places on Market St. had taped a prescription bottle to the side of her machine to keep her seam ripper in. What an innovation!
I'm gonna try it out and see if I still lose it all the time.
Southwestern landscape created with Babylock Embellisher. Fiber art made by attaching dupioni silk, merino wool, yarn & angelina for sparkle on to denim base fabric.
BabyLock Embellisher used to machine needlefelt this southwestern themed landscape. I've been working on this for 2 to 3 months... off & on. Deciding whether it needs some defining free motion topstitching. Size is 11.5 inches by 29 inches.
The jacket begins life as sweatshirt which is taken apart and then used as a pattern to cut the arms and body from your pieced patchwork. Then the fun begins! I used my Accuquilt Go Cutter to cut the squares, rectangles, birds and cats.
The Janome Horizon 7700 is a dream to use for piecing and applique. The Sashiko machine, which does a wonderful imitation of hand stitching was used for the quilting.
Here is a link that shows the machine and describes its use:
So happy to have shot these on the front porch, chilly, but nice enough to be out there with the camera...and the best light!
This serger sat for many years unused before it was given to my wife. It was very difficult to manually operate didn't budge when trying to use the motor. The bind was in this portion of the feed mechanism. Still quite bound after sitting overnight bathed in Krol oil.
Oh so cool (literally)... bustier! Recycled window screening and shopping bags make this bustier a unique, eye popping, show stopper. Going green has never been so colorful!
While I was dissecting Laurel's unfinished stocking to put her name on the cuff, I offered to make another one for a friend's kidlet. They requested purple and blue, so this is a dark periwinkle blue polarfleece from Jo-Ann's paired with an orchid polarfleece I picked up at Walmart. The name is stitched in the Ribeye Marrow font, printed and traced onto tearaway stabilizer, then machine-stitched in a short zig-zag with a winter white rayon thread. The pattern is Elf Stocking from MODKID Sewing Patterns by Patty Young, which was a freebie in Babylock's 2012 holiday patterns online.
I have a three-year-old Viking Huskystar 215, which has been great for all my sewing projects, from making handbags and clothes to light quilting. It came with a 25-year warranty so I can take it in for free tune-ups once a year, which is a huge bonus. I've bought some extra feet and accessories for sewing vinyl, but besides that it's been perfect right out of the box. I learned to sew on a 1960s Singer, which I loved, but it was a little moody when it came to heavier-weight and stretch fabrics--the tension just snarled up and freaked out, and I had to take it to be serviced over and over again. So the Huskystar has been a dream so far, and it has handled every craft project I've tried beautifully. I'd love to upgrade to a Bernina someday, but in the meantime my Viking and I are very happy together!
I also have a BabyLock Eclipse serger, which is wonderful. I love using it, but absolutely hate threading it, so I cheat by tying my new threads to the current ones and pulling them through. I usually use the 3-thread option for most projects.
update 7/08: I've sold the Huskystar to a friend and no longer have the manual - sorry I can't help with requests for that! Maybe Viking sells copies of it directly?
After losing the Winnie-the-Pooh needlepoint stocking I'd stitched to Texas, last year I picked up the free Elf Stocking pattern by Patty Young/MODKID from Babylock's 2012 Holiday Projects. The stocking sewed up quickly but my plans to hand-embroider her name on the cuff did not, so this year Mom took the cuff off, transferred the lettering I had (printed in the font Ribeye Marrow), and stitched it over tearaway stabilizer with a short zig-zag stitch.

I am in love with the stitching the Sashiko does!

is not moving far enough to the left and thereby failing to include the left needle thread in the chain.
As I rock the mechanism back an forth note the needles moving up and down. The upper looper moving across the path of the needle should carry its thread to the left of the left needle.
I can't find anything loose causing this timing problem. My wife had the needle carriage come loose recently. That incident may have jarred the upper looper causing slippage somewhere in the mechanics. Not having a service manual I am forced to wing it. I chose to make the adjustment at the cam end of the mechanical chain because that required no further disassembly. My first attempt resulted in a collision of the loopers. As I turned the hand wheel I found the upper looper strike the lower looper. The correct clearance between the two loopers at this point is a secret, only revealed to factory trained technicians. :) My second attempt proved fruitful, perpetuating my genius status, if only in my wife's eyes.

Wool Painting
Created using the Babylock Embellisher using wool roving, nepps, burrs, silk, angora and alpaca fibers
Amy describes her project, "I wanted to experiment with some techniques on the Sashiko (machine), so I decided to make a picture of a Christmas Tree on a placemat. I used a 40 wt. green thread for the tree, a 40 wt. yellow thread for the stars, and 40 wt. red thread for the trunk. I then used a metallic serger thread to create the tinsel on the tree. In order to incorporate the serger thread, I used a 40 wt. red thread in the Sashiko machine, and then weaved the metallic serger thread between the red Sashiko stitches. This helped to hold the metallic thread in place and made the Sashiko Christmas Tree come to life."
