Here are my latest creations on the Pfaff350



Embellishing Machine

I recently purchased an embellishing machine, its a Pfaff350 and I was asked by my local quilt shop to be their instructor ...well, I had to work up some samples and the more I used this machine the more potential I could see in it...I cant spend enough time on it...it is so simple to use, no thread, no attachments or tension...just sit down and use the 5 needles to felt fibers together ...this is my first sculpted project..its is two lilys and a pansy and a butterfly....

Emellisher post cards



I joined two Embellisher groups, I figured since I have an embellising machine now that I need to find out all I can...the pictures are of 5 postcards I made for one group and 25 one inch charms I made for another....I am totally enjoying this machine , its so easy and there is so much you can do with it...I hope to be publishing more work as I learn and you can see how I improve....these are my first efforts.....

My latest interest..Machine embelishing

several years ago I found the art of needle felting ...I love creating dimentional animals and figures useing wool and a barbed needle..like sculpting......While takeing a class at my local quilt shop I mentioned it and they quickly asked me if I wanted a job teaching felting on their new machine...Wow!! I could not believe it!!so I purchased a machine to practice at home...I will post a picture of my first project....This machine is exciting I can see so much potential in it....so off I go in a new direction....I am excited at all I can learn and teach others...
