I'll run thru the stitch as quickly as possible just in case someone needs it and ya'll can keep bedazzling.

nite-nite, mcP!

Needle down a full stitch down the line, needle up in the last hole with thread (in the middle of your stitch) hard to explain, lol, look at the pic!

good night Sherry have a save trip.

I was in my own little world there for a while. My atc will not look like anyone elses. Why? because if I take out my colors, buttons and sequins my hands and mind take control of my life and I tune everything out

Fluer, yours turned out really cute. I have to pull my embroidery and do something else, it looks really bad to me. I think I can embroider it with my fancy machine,

super cute, Fleur!!! nice job!

Erm, I wouldn't expect anything else from you, lol! I can't wait to see what it looks like\\

Still keeping the thread on my left, continue dropping down & needle up in the last threaded hole

When u get to the end of the line, needle down.
You can knot off or needle up at the start of a new line

When u finish your embroidery and bedazzling

PUT YOUR BACK FABRIC ON

Trim it to the desired size

And finish the edges.
Here I used the blanket stitch on my machine and stitched over an eyelash(?) yarn. Feel free to fold a little binding if you'd prefer.
You can straight stitch
Or zig zag
Or Whatever you want to do

The objective is to close the edges and catch the back

Here is the finished back.

Tory, I'm going to leave for tonight, I have to emb. with my machine and will finish it tomorrow. Thanks for the class/laughs/ and tute. Pat

Erme, did you do the sharpie/alcohol project at Branson? color fabric with sharpie, squirt it with alcohol and the colors all run and smear, super cool!


anybody else still with me?

nite, Pat! Glad you could join us!

good nite students! Be sure to come back & show your finished projects.

Keep an eye out for an ATC swap!!

Thanks for a great class, I enjoyed it. I'll be back with a pic tomorrow.

Here is mine. I will bind it tomorrow. I will call it Erme's fantasy. The funny thing on the upper left is silver bird reflected to much light

Good night everyone

Erme I think we are the only ones left.

I'm going to put the Bling on mine talk to you tomorrow.

Well, here's mine to this point. It went in a different direction, and with the eyeball center is leaning towards a gnome more than a flower. I'll get the other side stitched tomorrow, and maybe add more of something.

The ones I've seen so far are looking great. Erme, I think you've done one or two of these!

Oh they are darling! I missed it because DH had surgery Wed and I was needed by him but I LOVED "attending" this morning. Tory, you did a great job. This makes me want to make them.

Toryam, great party/instructions. Beautiful ATCs everyone. Sorry I missed this one, DH bday last night celebrated with dinner and the kids came over to celebrate.

Oh I can't believe I had to miss such a great party. These look fun to make & you were a great teacher, toryam! I see you had a few rebel rousers in the group... I'm looking forward to seeing pics of everyone's little ATC's. Thanks for hosting this PJ Party!!!

Here is mine... thanks again toryam for a great class and a chance to play with my crazy quilting stash!

hmmmmm, me thinks ya'll have done this before! Your examples are so purty! Tory, do we need another swap?

Oh Wow! All the Atcs y'all are showing are wonderful! I love seeing all the different results!

Yes, McP! Definitely but I've got four mini quilts to make before 3 November so need to focus on that for the immediate future.

Be thinking of some different themes we could do

Tory, sitting in the front row right next to you with homemade peanut butter cookies and a pepsi didn't help my ATC one bit. I made my first yo yo then went on to embroider a word and my card ended in the garbage. I cut a small hole in it when I took out the hand emb. and decided this was one thing that I was hopeless at. You did try hard to help me out, sorry.
Everyones cards are beautiful TFS your great results. Pat
Sherry, I see you are still limping and stomping, maybe you need some wider shoes? LOL I know I didn't injure you too much when you tripped over my big chair legs. Pat
