Cool Embroidery Sites

Lately, since decorating the baby's room, I've been getting into embroidery, especially vintage embroidery. Since I'm a cross-stitcher, it's only natural to do this, and I can do it with my feet up, unlike scrapbooking. Swollen feet have been a major issue.

So, here are some really cool blogs and sites that I have found and wanted to share with you. Enjoy!!

http://www.needlecrafter.com/ (lots of free vintage designs)

http://stitchybritches.blogspot.com/ (lots of free vintage designs, challenges, and drawings)

http://mytransfers.blogspot.com/ (more vintage designs)

http://www.feelingstitchy.com/ (lots of fun vintage and comtemporary designs)

http://pimpstitch.typepad.com/ (great stuffed items)

http://www.sublimestitching.com/blog.html (retail as well as cool ideas)

http://ninimakes.typepad.com/nini_makes/ (fun stuff, not just embroidery)

So, check out these sites and enjoy!!

Cool t-shirts by Amy Tangerine

While in Nashville for the Scrap Etc. event, I bought a couple of t-shirts from Amy Tangerine, who has the cutest designs!! You have to check them out. Click on the picture to go to her blog.

One of the shirts I bought was designed by Emily Falconbridge, a big name in scrapbooking, and the other t-shirt, which Amy is making for me since she sold out of it, is with Scrap Etc. on it. I will post pics as soon as I can of the t-shirts!

Thanks Amy!!
