KLSNS Challenge #22 - Stitching


Well, here is the great new challenge over at KLSNS this week. We have been given the challenge of "stitching". Yes, I thought....wow an easy one. I love to stitch and I know how to use a sewing machine...I have been sewing since I was 10. I have made cloths, pillows......you name it. I have even done a few cards. I am ready. Well, not this time. Seems that each time I get on the new sewing machine that I got for Christmas something comes up. This time I wanted to use some of the great unique stitches that this baby has to offer....I ended up breaking a needle...oops. Then I thought I broke the machine when I couldn't get the needle to stop hitting the pressure foot. Low and behold. I figured it out. Took longer. Used simpler stitches. BUT I got it done. I hope you like this little patriotic card.

Ok, on to the Challenge. You will have until next Friday, March 26th to come over to KLSNS and enter your wonderful stitched card. (remember the sewing machine is your friend.) Please join us we, the DT, love to see what you create.

I also noticed that Kelly is looking for anyone interested in joining the DT. This stint is for 4 months and she is now looking for the next group. If you are interested come on over to KLSNS and see what you need to do to apply. I can say I have had so much fun I wish I could stay for another term.

  3. I have yet to try stitching on a card and if I can break needles on cloth I am certain I can do it with paper too! Thanks for sharing this sweet little patriotic card!
