New at Pegboard Crafts!

This one has been in the works for months now. But the new Child's Purse is now available. This is a twist on my in-the-hoop zipper bags. It features a flap covering the main part of the purse while the zipper creates a pocket on the back of the purse. It is available in 2 sizes. The smaller size is just right for many Janome machines as well as some Pfaff machines. The larger size works well for Designer 1 and Brother ULT sized hoops. Thanks to Georgia Porter for helping me out by running multiple test sews on her Janome machine. She went above and beyond and I am very appreciative.

Designs in Machine Embroidery

Pegboard Crafts zipper bags are featured in the November/December 2011 issue of Designs in Machine Embroidery! Dawn Wenner of Crystal Eye Candy has written an article showing how to use the gift card case and my new Accessory Case with her easy to make i-Pad case. She uses her fun Snapsetter tool to attach the small bags to the larger one. Each little bag is labeled so you know what accessory goes in each bag and can easily find it when needed. I've made a special set with just these 2 bags for your convenience. These will make great Christmas gifts!

Award Winning Zipper Bag

It has been a long three months. I found out in July that my zippered bag for the Kindle won first place in its category - Accessories, Fashion - in this year's Stitches Magazine Golden Needle Awards. Terri Hanson of Terradon Embroidery encouraged me to enter the contest. I could only enter one category, so I chose Digitizing. It doesn't look like much until you actually sit down to do one so I wanted them to see the instructions. I found out later they liked it so much that it won in both the Embroidery and Digitizing categories! My issue arrived this morning, so I can finally announce it to the world! It is very exciting for me. The editors did a great job on the articles, even managing to make me sound a little interesting.

Stitches Magazine is a free industry magazine for commercial embroidery. They haven't updated their site with the latest issue as of my writing this, but it should be up soon. You will then be able to see the article for yourself if you don't get the printed version. This is the 2nd Golden Needles contest I've won. My autumn leaf jacket won in their inaugural contest in 2008. Click here to go to Stitches Magazine. My entries are on page 46 and 51 of the November 2011 issue.

Congratulations to Cathy Cattle for winning in the Accessories, Home category. Her entry is gorgeous and deservingly won in both the Embroidery and Digitizing categories. Her design made the front cover too! I met Cathy (Nutmeg) at the AEC (American Embroidery Conference). She does amazing work! My congratulations go out to all the other winners too!
