Sweet Stitches belong on EVERYTHING. Today’s fashion says, “Embellish it All!”
Quilting …..that is my passion. I’m still a newbie.
It would be great to make something for my three grandsons and soon to be little adopted granddaughter from China.
I like to use embroidery on quilts and wall hangings.

My grandmother recently gove me some linen from when she was a child in Latvia, i would use these techniques to turn them into beautiful table clothes for special occasions so that the memory of her lives on allong with my heritage.
I’d definitely be using the cross stitch patterns to embellish things for my 3 grand daughters – they are THE MOST fun to sew for and make them unique and special
Right now I’m into making little cards to enclose in swap packages, and just to say hi in the old form so I’d use some for that. I also have cross stitched many small and tiny projects to eventually make a wall hanging or collage out of that would work as well.
Oh my, so many things to stitch and embellish!! I would have to say that if it doesn’t move….it’s getting embellished!! I love to sew and craft. Having this book to arm me with more knowledge would be such a blessing! Thank you
I would use for personalizing small christmas gifts for my quilting buddies. I made these amazing functuional needle cases from the Art to Heart Sew Necessities book and the hand stitched motifs can be easily used on these small projects. Please pick me….I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
I have a new grandson on the way; October 11th!! My first grandbaby’s new wardrobe would be embellished with all sorts of fun things!! I’m having a ball sewing for this little guy!
I enjoy adding something extra to the items I make.
They would look good on sweat shirts, jackets,children clothes, and on quilts.
I’m very much into making books right now, so I’d use the techniques to embellish book pages or covers. Thanks for the chance to win!

I would use the beautiful embroidery ideas to make matching outfits for my granddaughters and their American Girl Dolls. They are 2 yrs old and 8 yrs old and love to dress alike. It is one of the reasons that I sew, it is hard to find beautiful outfits in such a wide range of sizes. My grandson loves matching shirts too! Thank you for the beautiful inspiration!!!!
Since I only machine embroider, I would have to ask my best friend Sue W. of Chicago what items or projects she would embellish — because I would happily send this book to the most creative and inspiring seamstress I know.
I would be using the ideas for decorating gifts for my 3 greatgrandaughters for
christmas and birthday presents
