Thanksgiving Custom Napkins

November 2005:

This is the first project I did. I started it the night I brought my machine home. They turned out great and everyone loved them. They were great place holders and special gifts for the guests to take home.

The designs were very intricate with multiple colors. Each napkin took about 4 hours to complete on the machine.I did more this year for, but they were less intricate as I hosted dinner for 17 people.

My Work Space

This is my workspace. I took over our formal dining room so I could stay set up all the time. I even added doors to keep the room pet, dust and baby free. I love it. Next step: making curtains to keep everything out of view.


My husband bought this baby for me in November 2005 as an early Christmas gift. I LOVE it. I have never had a state of the art matching. It is a Viking Husqvarna Platinum 950 E. He also bought be the 3-D Embroidery studio Professional. I need to take a college course in that baby - it can do so many wonderful things.
This was the first machine my new husband gave me in December 2004 (our first married Christmas). It is a White 1934D. I still haven't realized its potential, but I know it is great to have around for finishing things off.
