The free-standing applique shapes were stitched on a clean tearaway stabilizer with a heavy stabilizer (Shaper/Timtex) between it and the fabric. We put them on the wall with removable Velcro strips (poster Velcro). The set is Allie's Room 3D. These were size X2, for the 200x300mm hoop.

More of the free-standing applique shapes we made for Allie's nursery. This is Flora Fish, Sunflower Starfish and Clover Crab. The set is Allie's Room 3D. These were size X2, for the 200x300mm hoop.

My SIL asked me to make a baptism pillow for her first grandchild. Here is Emma's butterfly. I printed her baby pictures on photo fabric and appliqued them into the lower wings. I used Embird's Font Engine and Alphabets to create the lettering.

My Down on the Farm quilt is still a work in progress. I've used designs in a variety of sizes from some of my design collections. You can download a working list of designs used on the quilt, including links to those designs, by clicking here. Finished quilt size is approximately 44.5x40" including the sashing which is 4.5" wide.

2 designs layered together and snapped onto the front flap of The Denise purse. Made from marine vinyl. Just one idea where the Snappiez designs can be used. Send me pictures of your projects!

The same Denise purse shown with the pumpkin Snappiez. I used felt for the front of the turkey and marine vinyl for the back to give it more stability. Then snapped it onto the purse in place of the pumpkin.

Shown laid out flat. 2 bags on each side, connected with marine vinyl straps inserted in the buttonholes at top of the larger bags.

Close-up of one large and one small bag, separated. The smaller bag is snapped to the front of the larger bag under the zipper area. It is further reinforced with marine vinyl straps snapped to the front of the smaller bag. It makes a very nice purse with just these two pieces.

I used a cute octopus clothing dryer I found at Ikea to hold all of my mobile animals.
I used beads, ribbon, and waxed hemp for the hangers. Mobiles are room decor not toys.
Be sure to keep anything with beads and string out of your child's reach.
They can be a choking/strangulation hazard.

My daughters made this mobile for a co-worker's daughter. They glued ribbon to two wood hoops, added a few beads,and cotton cord. The 5x7" applique animals were too large for a mobile so I reduced and adapted them to make these new sets.

Dreamy Elf Boy VSP - on a reader pillow. I found a Golden Book just like the one I had when I was a kid on Amazon.com.

There is also an Elf Girl version.

This design looks good as chocolate cake - or maybe lemon cake (yellow marine vinyl) ... or maybe even strawberry cake (pink marine vinyl).

My own personal version of the Game Time Football door hanger. Sorry, this version isn't for sale but it is easy to personalize the football - or the banners - using your favorite embroidery software or letters on your machine. Just add them before adding the back piece of vinyl.
