Here are more buildings in the 2nd set of the North Pole Village. how can you pick your favorite? they are all so cute.
Here's the post office....gotta have that so Santa can get all those letters from the kiddos. i just had to stitch it in red, white and blue.
And the North Pole has a church also. i don't know what all that stuff on the front door is. i'm thinkin i should have just skipped that...but too late now.
Someone at http://www.designsbyjuju.com/ has quite an active imagination. wonder what is coming up next.
Stay tuned.
Yesterday i started the second set of the North Pole Village. this one is just as cute. they already have 2 shops i wouldn't have thought of.
Santa is getting his beard trimmed at the Barber's in anticipation of a busy season. Notice there isn't a doorknob on the door....how funny. these designs are all from http://www.designsbyjuju.com/ i might have to let her know they missed a doorknob. LOL
Then there is the train station. you have to get your supplies somehow to the North Pole.
And i am thinking this must be the mayor's house. it is rather large and all decorated. seems fitting for a mayor.
These are all applique blocks and i think the fun part is picking which fabrics to use. i am striving for colorful but this side of garish. LOL
I just know some kids are gonna love these North Pole Village quilts when they are finished. there might be 2 or 3 quilts. These are a set of designs that i want to work on every day until they are finished....they are just too fun.
But now i better get back to work.
I need a 12 step program...for quilters and/or embroiderers. i have dozens of UFOs already...but does that deter me? oh no...let's start another. LOL
Along with using up my old stash of fabric i have decided i need to use up my old stash of hundreds of spools of embroidery thread and use those embroidery designs that i keep buying. why are they so cute? i am weak. sigghhh!!
Anyway, i started the North Pole Village I.....i say 1 because i believe there might be a 2 and possibly a 3. i have about 30 designs. check out http://www.designsbyjuju.com/ her stuff is soooo cute... sign up for her newsletter...she has awesome sales quite frequently. sales like buy 1 set ($20) and get 2 sets free; buy 2 sets and get 8 sets free. crazy, i know...that's why i have a couple hundred sets of her designs. and once you are a regular customer you get free designs...can't beat that. i have all the north pole applique village sets...3 so far....so decided to get busy and put a few million more stitches on the embroidery machine.
So far i have made 5 blocks in the last 2 days. i just let them stitch while i am quilting. i am good at multi-tasking. LOL
Here is the Pie Shop
And the Elf School
Someone's house in the Village
The Sweet Shop
And the Toy Store....my favorite so far. i just had to put Winnie the Pooh on the door.
I got 3 of them done today so perhaps i can do 3 more tomorrow. who cares about those other 40 UFOs.....if i live long enough....they'll all get done.....some day. hahahahahahaha
I have a lot of Anita Goodesign embroidery CDs. i belonged to their club for 2 years and got 2 CDs every month. and both my sister and I spend a little money at the http://www.emblibrary.com/ online. they have some really cute stuff, too.
Do you have an embroidery machine? whose designs do you like best?
