Recycling is a great thing.

 I love making these verses for you. I really do!

What a great thing, to be able to spread God's love and grace through something so simple as an embroidered item.

As with all of my designs, I try test out each and every one myself.

This newest verse is a big one. 
6x10 hoop big. 

Too big for a towel....

....and I didn't have any large shirts for my older kids on hand.....

 .....so what to do......?

Thrift store!

Don't be shy now, I found a simple frame at a local thrift store for only $1.50.

Of course it was white.

And I meant to paint it black......


........but I guess I couldn't really tell what color I grabbed in our poorly lit garage.


Oh well. Brown works too!


I took out the plexiglass and taped the design on. 


And stuck it right back in.

How simple was that?

Customer Appreciation Week - September 2013

Welcome to our seventh CAW! 
The first week of each month will feature a new designs and freebies.  Don't forget to like our Facebook page to stay up-to-date on all of our new releases and freebies! 

 Here is WHY I'm doing CAW!  I have loved to draw since I was a little girl and I was the one to always show up at Grandma's house with a handful of pictures. I appreciate this opportunity to create files for you to use with your little ones or your home business. Being able to stay at home with my children is a blessing and I would like to give you a little something in return!

Now, on to why you are here, THE GIVEAWAY! Each customer appreciation week will also feature a giveaway sponsored by yours truly, Original Stitches. 

I purchased this month's selection from TJ's Fabrics.  




This bundle contains eight 1/4 yard cuts of fun of Riley Blake Hipster

The bundle was shipped promptly and everything was nicely packaged. 

Excellent service!
