Customer Show 'n Tell

Over the last few weeks, I have received emails from several customers and friends where they have shared their creations with me.  I was so excited to see what they had done that I wanted to share them with you. 

Alli from Mississippi told me, "I won one of your mouse appliques at Martha Pullen's School of Art Fashion and thought it would be perfect for a little purse for my almost three-year-old daughter.  I used a pre-made linen bag and attached ribbon for the handle and cinches."  What a great job!

Rickie from Alabama wanted to learn the applique process so she took my Intro to Machine Applique class and the Jo'D Marie the Pig Applique Block class that I taught this month at Sew Bizz in Trussville, Alabama.  Rickie is a school teacher and took off from work just to have a little fun for herself.  Good for you!

If you've made something from my patterns and/or appliques, I would love to see a picture of your finished product and to share it here on my blog!

What's new with us!

I owe you an apology, because I must admit that I am not very good at blogging! When I get to creating and putting new fabrics together, everything else on my "To Do" list starts sliding down the levels of importance. With that said, I wanted to share with you what I have been working on.

There are 4 new Ready-Set-Appliqués that have been released since the end of September. Ollie, the ornament, and Irving, the Santa, have made their debuts just in time for Christmas. The inspiration for Ollie came from my Merry Mischief Makers pattern. The pair of ornaments is just perfect for adorning your special one’s holiday clothing whether they are young or a little older.

Then on Irving I needle felted several of his pieces to give him a greater 3-D effect. I think you will be pleased with the new technique.

The third appliqué is a pair of chickadees, Charlie and Gladys. The names for these came from a godly couple who were very influential in shaping my siblings’ lives through their leadership in Discipleship Training.

The last appliqué is Montgomery the Mouse. He has a spaghetti-bias tail with a knotted and frayed tip that makes him so cute. He’s very special to me because he was named for my grandfather.

Merry Christmas from Olivia Anne Designs!
