Hoop In Action

Not an especially good photo or even good embroidery but I wanted to try something quick to show you. I am making a quilted alphabet for a pre-school teacher. Here you see the lowercase g,h,i, and j. I still have to stitch out the uppercase letters. I will remove these and cut them out before I load new fabric in the hoop for the uppercase letters.The hardest part is deciding the pattern of the fabric to use and getting it hooped. I am almost halfway done but keep putting this off for more pressing projects.
Cool!

So nice of you to make these letters.

oh, thank god! the other one was giving me a headache.
April 19th, 2021  
A-ha. I see that. What will you do them after you cut them out? Will they have to be bound on the edges or sewn onto another piece of fabric?

These are great sized letters. Would love to see the finished product. Love the fabric!

That is quite a complex craft. I think the teacher will love it.

That is so nice of you looking forward to seeing finished items

Silly me: i zoomed in and i was wondering what do you mean 'gi hi'??? :)
Katy, i would surely love to see some of your projects, every now and then... like this alphabet, when it is done. I love sewing, but since the paints i sort of put that aside. But i think every now and then about sewing. My mom and my bestie keep saying: if you wish, sew. And i reply: but what should i do with what i sew. And they say: nothing. Just sew for your pleasure.
And they are soooo right.

This is quite amazing Katy, sounds like a lot of work to me. I am sure you will show us the finished product one day :-)

This is amazing, Katy!

@homeschoolmom Thank you
@dutchothotmailcom I appreciate that Esther
@eudora I started a long time ago when I had more time!
@summerfield LOL! Sorry?!
@randystreat they will be free standing manipulatives. I really should do several sets so they can use them to spell with but I don't think that is going to happen considering how long it is taking me to get this first set done!
@madamelucy Thanks Terri I am trying to use up my scraps and I can't tell you how old this particular piece is!
@shutterbug49 Thank you Debbie. I hope so. Thank you too for all you recent communications about Ann♥
@Dawn thank you Dawn. It may be a while because I have put other things ahead of it!
@ludwigsdiana I am so glad you think so Diana. I will show you but it will be a while because I am in no hurry to finish!
@johnfalconer I am really pleased that you think so John and even happier that you took the time to say it.
@louannwarren Aww Lou Ann how nice of you! You are the sweetest!
@linnypinny Gee, thanks Lin! That is really very nice of you!

@monikozi how funny that you think of sewing like I think of painting. I go in spurts with all my different interests. So I excel with neither one but enjoy the creative process with both of them.

A few things I have done : https://365project.org/grammyn/365/2020-08-23
