HELLO SPRING

Hello Everyone, and of course hello to Spring...........How wonderful to see the sun shining at long last, it seems like we have had constant rain since last year.

I can't believe it is April already, where has the first quarter of the year gone?  I have been busy making and sewing in my little craft room keeping up to date with orders.  I have also had time out,  I went to Dublin with my sister to celebrate St Patrick's day.   We had a fabulous time in our home city celebrating.

I am also very excited at the moment as I am taking delivery of my new Embroidery Machine next Tuesday 5th April, My new machine is a Janome 500e.   I am upgrading from my Elna 881 which is the twin machine to a Janome 200e.  I love my Elna, however,  the hoop size is 5.5"x5.5"  which limits me to keep my designs to that one size. My Elna is a fabulous machine but I feel I have outgrown it now.   I will be sad to see it go as it is the first embroidery machine I ever had and it has taught me a lot.  My new Janome 500e embroidery machine will allow me to produce bigger designs as the hoops are much bigger, amongst other things, it has a lot more editing functions.   

I have kept myself busy making and creating orders for customers.  Here are some of my makes.  I hope you like them.     I will be back soon to let you know how I am getting on with my new Embroidery machine.  Watch this space.  Bye for now folks!!!!    Margaret.
