NEW! Create a Magical Fairy… Plus This Week's FREE Gift!
Dear [FIRSTNAME]
There's something truly magical about fairies…
This week we're delighted to introduce our brand new Large Applique Fairy Silhouette, a graceful design that creates a stunning finished applique much larger than your embroidery hoop.
Even better, we've included the large "Believe" wording plus the background quilt blocks shown in our sample as a bonus, making it easy to recreate the complete project or use the elements separately in your own creations.
Let's get stitching!

Greetings from Planet Kreative Kiwi!
Our Large Applique Alien has landed in two very different disguises this week!
💛 Margaret's cheerful yellow alien is bright, bold and ready to make everyone smile.
💚 Wendy's classic green alien looks right at home beneath a star-filled night sky—proof that a simple change of fabric can completely transform the personality of a design.

One Design… So Many Possibilities!
One of the things we love most about our Large Applique designs is seeing all the creative ways our customers use them.
Linda has stitched our Large Applique Giraffe together with our FREE Reading Pillow Saying to create this gorgeous reading pillow—perfect for encouraging little ones to snuggle up with a good book.
Meanwhile, Lynn has inspired us with a completely different idea! She emailed to tell us how much she enjoys adding our Large Applique designs to her handmade crochet blankets, and we absolutely LOVE the result.
As a fellow crocheter, I have to admit this idea is going straight onto my own "must make" list!
Because our Large Applique designs are stitched as finished patches, they're ideal for embellishing completed crochet blankets. Simply position the applique wherever you'd like it and stitch it in place. The stitches disappear beautifully into the satin stitch border, while the back of the crochet blanket keeps them almost invisible, giving a lovely neat finish.
A huge thank you to Linda and Lynn for sharing these wonderful projects and inspiring us all!

A Quilt Full of Memories
Mary Anne has created this stunning version of Kay's Remembrance Quilt, and we were touched by the beautiful story behind it.
The camouflage fabric used in the quilt was taken from a shirt worn by a family member while they were deployed, making this far more than just a quilt—it's a treasured keepsake.
Mary Anne shared:
"The camouflage is actually from a shirt he wore while deployed, so this truly is a meaningful quilt."
To make the story even more exciting, Mary Anne is entering the quilt in her local County Fair—her very first quilt competition!
We're sure you'll all join us in wishing her the very best of luck. No matter the outcome, she's already created something incredibly special that her family will treasure for years to come.
Thank you, Mary Anne, for allowing us to share your beautiful quilt and the heartfelt story behind it.

Vikings Rule!
Elizabeth has combined two of our FREE designs—our FREE Viking Designs and FREE Crosshatch Quilting Design—to create this striking wall hanging for her grandson.
As he's heading off to college, and their mascot is the Vikings, this handmade gift couldn't be more perfect!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful project, Elizabeth!
