ME? At Joann’s?

Do you recognize the photo in the bottom right on this tear-sheet at Joann Fabrics? Yes, it’s the Embroidery-To-Go pattern that I collaborated with Rachael from Imagine Gnats on. This is a free pattern for Pellon.

I saw the photo when I got home from work today. As the kids were still taking their nap, I silently swore (for joy) in my head. Then proceeded to do the splits (also in my head).

Here is a lovely version from Lucy at Charm About You.

That made my trip into Joann’s a lot better yesterday…thank goodness for Pellon’s packaged interfacing, the line at the cutting counter was horrendous and the packaged Fusible Fleece saved me from being late to work! Horray Pellon!!

    Congrats! How cool is that – seeing your work on a big poster in a big store. Hey, I can do splits, too (in my head). Once upon a time it was for reals (waaaay back in the day).

    I saw that packaged Pellon at JoAnn’s last week, when I was there to buy foam (for a footstool re-do) and some sewing machine needles. I was wishing I had your Pellon article with me so I would know which to buy. Should have taken advantage of the 20% off everything coupon and just bought one of each. 🙂

  2. Well done my friend – it’s a great pattern, and I love Lucy’s version.

    (PS. I got my HR charms yesterday – you are Sweetness by name and nature x).

    Congratulations on seeing your project in the store like that – what a heady feeling! Did they give you credit on the sheet? I can certainly understand about the splits (which I also used to be able to do, 30+ years [and many many pounds] ago, LOL) 😀

    Oh. My. Goodness. Your splits comment is the biggest laugh I’ve had lately. And I live with a pretty funny guy! Still laughing . . . Isn’t it great to see something you made become famous? Yep, still laughing . . .
