Free Cancer Ribbon for May

I've just posted the FREE May design on my Yahoo Group and on my website. I created a nice cancer ribbon that includes small hearts in the satin fill stitch. Projects that are created with these ribbons are usually created because someone has lost a loved one, so I thought the little hearts were perfect.

Free Hoop Basting Templates

I've just posted the FREE April designs on my Yahoo Group and on my website. I'm offering all of the completed Hoop Basting Templates in one zip file. Some might wonder "What's the purpose of a hoop basting template?". The purpose is to keep your items secure and in place without moving while stitching. These templates will work on hooped and un-hooped items. The templates are just simple basting stitches that stitch around the outside edge of the hoop before the design stitches. This is a great tool because whether your item is hooped or not, it ensures that your item and stabilizer are secure and in place before stitching your design.

April 2010 Free Design Set - #515 Hoop Basting Templates

The zip file includes Hoop Templates in all of our available formats - ART, DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PES, SEW, SHV, VIP, XXX in the following sizes:

• 80mm x 120mm = 3.1” x 4.7” approx. hoop sewing field size
• 100mm x 100mm = 3.9” x 3.9” approx. hoop sewing field size
• 110mm x 126mm = 4.3” x 4.9” approx. hoop sewing field size
• 115mm X 170 mm – 4.5” x 6.6” approx. hoop sewing field size

• 200mm x 200mm = 7.8” x 7.8” approx. hoop sewing field size

Free Tri Chick design...

I'm so excited that I finally finished my Tri Chick, swim, bike, run design! I have to give special thanks to Wendy for putting a fire under me to make it happen. I had started designing and digitizing it last year while I was training for my triathlon, but with training and work I never completed it. I had planned to make towels for me & my 2 girlfriends that I raced with, but I just never made it happen. It's a little over a year after the race, but I made the towels for Lou & Patty anyway [why not, the design is finally finished!]. I'll surprise them at tennis practice tomorrow morning!

I think it's super cute and so feminine, so I hope you enjoy it for FREE!

I'm very curious to know how many ladies that embroider also participate in triathlons, so if you join the group and download it, please leave a comment here on the blog and let me know! If you're currently training for a race, let me know that too!
