Summer Fun Appliqué

I just have had a great time sewing out some of my collection of fun summertime appliqué designs. Naturally drawn to color as I am this season allows me a no holds barred opportunity to use the best and brightest fabrics I have on hand.

Polka Dot Octopus in Aqua

Used glow in the dark thread for this little angler fish. Just received a testimonial from my grandson Dylan that it indeed glows in the dark! Design is from Lynnie Pinnie.

Who says boys shirts have to be boring brown or blue. It easier keeping an eye on them in safety green.

Jellyfish design from Planet Applique' with ribbon tentacles. One of my favorite designs.

Hot Pink!!!! Just added appliqué pockets to this little dress.

Pocket detail.

Fun fun flip flop design

Great little beach or pool dress.

I was happy to see that this time, the goodie bag included mouse pads because I wanted to experiment doing embroidery on them but didn't want to use a good one since they run about $4 - $5 a piece now even at Walmart. So I did this. Using Heat & Bond Ultra and beautiful fabric from my collection I created these. Being an embroiderer there was no question that I had to add a monogram. They made my desk top a happy place now. But of course I couldn't stop there. Once I noticed the totally ugly promotional design was ghosting through I went on a mission to find some plain white ones and create some for family and friends. Then I thought well what the heck else would be a nice complement sitting near the computer and I remembered that I had this in the hoop round coaster design. I found the design ages ag...
