Mary's Stitchin' Magic
Meet the Maker
I have been doing crafts almost all my life. I had a Grandma Hoover who was in a wheel chair and sewed many quilt pieces by hand and I credit her for staying busy and creating things. It took a long time for me to get confident to embroider on the machine. When I saw the "In The Hoop" stuff I knew I had to learn to do that. I just love taking pieces of material and creating mug rugs or an ornament. I also have made many memorial keepsakes that people tell me how much they mean to them. I try to get them as personal as possible. I kinda feel my grandma watching over me and feeling proud that I am making things as she did. I will continually add items and you can get items personalized also. If you have any questions just send an email and I will try to answer as soon as possible. Although I use an embroidery machine, I assure you that there is a lot of hand made work done. Each piece is unique. I try to made things as appealing as possible. I take applique designs and will adapt a lot to Christmas ornaments or other things. I have used my computer/printing skills to add to designs that make them originals.
Thank you so much for stopping by and please check out the designs. These are made in Florida so you might see some of that Floridian flare but rest assured I have Snowmen and the like too.
How it’s Made
Each keepsake is made on a Janome embroidery machine. Once I have completed adding name, and date tothe design I load it from a computer and then take it to the machine on a USB drive, it is then ready to start the process of doing an outline then a stiffener is added and the material is placed on top as each color thread is added at each stage. All designs must be trimmed as each stage completes. The photo has to be set up separately and cut out stitched on and then border added. Before the last satin stitch around is added the back must be taped on then stitched and trimmed and then a satin stitch goes around design and finishing touches are added. I use quality material and a Pellon stabilizer to make it more solid.
