Advent bag gifts
Our church makes 12 Advent bags each year and this year I volunteered to do an embroidery of the church on kitchen towels. Here are 9 of the 12 needed. I will have to do 3 more after work and then wrap all of them.
I scanned the drawing of the church from our church bulletin and took the .bmp into class for "Quiltworks" which will turn a drawing into stitches.

Neat idea... I think I asked already, but what embroidery machine do you use? I've been thinking of getting one. Might need a new wing on the house though!
It is good to be home. I've lots of ideas to sort through. Seoul is an inspiring place, not so much for actual art as the creativity of its people. They use well what they have.
Your little embroideries look fantastic. Lots of work, but worth it! The finished postcards turned out great too. I think I have postcard fever! I see a lot of these things on blogs and yesterday I started to play around with some fabric to make them. I am nowhere near having a completed postcard, but sooner or later I'll master the technique!
So impressed the church embroidery looks hand stitched. What do you set your machine on to get that custom stitched look?
Satin edged cards finished to perfection.

That looks a lot like my church. LDS?
Those came out so well! Thanks for the explanation of how you did it. What are advent bags?
Lovely little towels.
Cards are special when finished.
Everything looks so good. The church embroidery DOES look hand-stitched. What a time investment, though ~ although faster than by hand. You've been very busy lately!
Very pretty embroidery. They will love these bags!
What a great idea! This looks wonderful.
