Each month we will tackle a new project and this month we are going to make greeting cards on our machines!  I have several designs, but you could also you one of the redwork designs on your software under SuperDesigns. You will need thread of your choice, some heavy stock paper, and a colored sheet a paper for the inside of the card.  Valentine’s Day in February is an obvious choice, but there are birthdays, congratulations, thank you, and other sentiments that can be quite nicely in a card.  “Essential Elements” #12282 is a collection I like to use.  http://www.embroideryonline.com/p-45176-essential-sentiments.aspx   (You may have to select the whole address)  As of 12/21 is it on sale for $44.99 and is usually priced at $59.99.

I will have a sample in the store next week.  Next month we’ll learn how to make jewelry!  I have a necklace in the store now for you to see.
