It’s Pink Saturday again at Cottage Dreamer! Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for once more hosting this fun day of sharing all things Pink!

For a long time I’ve had an embroidery machine and took it in some time ago to have it serviced so I could finally use it. After that it was a few months wait for a Magic Box to come in to the dealers – this is a small pieced of equipment that allows me to use digitized designs. I thought – at last – I can do some embroidery. No such luck. The machine had to be services once more. But now all appears to be well. Below are some pictures I took while doing a design from a fantastic set from Michelle’s Designs called Silk Ribbon Floral Fantasy.

This is the first of six thread changes that are needed.

Had to take the hoop off the machine because I was running out of bobbin thread. This is the embroidery after two colors have been stitched.

Finally, we get to the pink thread! There are three shades of pink used in the embroidery.

Here’s the finished embroidery. It takes about a half hour to complete which includes the thread changes that are needed.

I plan to use this and several other designs from this collection to make a quited wallhanging. Most likely I’ll also use the designs for some hand towels and I’m going to be looking at anything I buy in the way of clothing this fall to see if I can put some embroidery on it.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful Pink Saturday!
