Nearly Ninjas - Part 336.....

Appliques are all done and test run.  Each set of Ninja come with a bonus set of Throwing stars - an applique, a redwork/quilting star and a small filled star.   These have sat in a file since 2010.....I wrote about them back  here!

NEARLY EVEN MORE NINJAS...

Stitched this lot out over the past week.  Quick and easy to make in the hoop with a small seam to hand stitch after stuffing.    Could make a pincushion out of them, dog/cat toy or just as a stuffed cushion.   There are two doll styles and each one has four different faces.   And....they are only $3 for the set - $2 for the 4x4/100x100mm size.  Bargain.






Also in this range are these cute faces made with self cover buttons.  Two sizes, four different faces and a throwing star - use them to decorate a bag, a hair tie, cushion, clothing, hat.  





Appliques are coming soon.   Sue xxx

NEARLY NINJAS

Going through some old designs in Embird, I remembered these guys, so got to work on a revision and most are in the process of being test stitched as we speak.   




I started playing with these guys quite some time ago it seems  -    
http://tiramisue-suesblog.blogspot.com.au/2010/02/birthdays-and-mystery-quilts.html     Hope to have them up at Etsy in the next week.   There will also be a Ninja softee/pincushion in the range too!

Since my last posts, I have also turned this......
Into a bit of glamorous, over the top, Urban Threads ghoulishness.   I also realised my skull bead collection is getting a bit out of hand!    Just needs some more silverware on it - and we can call it Halloween...... 




This moon is from Urban Threads - I added a layer of silver/black lurex before stitching and trimmed close.   I then added three layers of wadding to make it stand out.   I also used this method with the skulls and the roses.    The skulls were stitched on to organza first and then appliqued in to position.  I find this helps stop distortion when a lot of embroidery stitches are involved.   

Bye for now.   Sue xxx
