how to add vine monogram to embrilliance essentials

I include each year's recipes I cooked and baked for Christmas.

We have referred to them to remember early snows, plans with friends. Past journals, all those were done meticulously day by day, have been used as a record of when we traveled. They require that I live in the moment.and document it! They give me something to look back upon.

My Christmas journals do several things for me. When I say 'need,' I don't mean it in the way we say we 'need ' a piece of fabric or that we 'need' a paper collection. Mid-December, however, my crafty genius friend, Sara Andrews, in her very subtle way, helped me to remember that I need to do this. I have done three on previous years, all started because of some of my Cricut friends introducing me to Shimelle's JYC (Journal Your Christmas). I have been so preoccupied with embroidery that I almost let December 2015 slip past without doing my annual Christmas Journal. Yes, our tree is still up until the Epiphany so it is still Christmasy here, but not for much longer. I clicked the Merge Design button to open the Shape Library to find a heart. It won't show in the finished design but it will give a placement guide to fit the other shapes in. Step 1: I wanted a background heart that would guide my composition. Put together, I ended up with a little Valentine bag for my sweet daughter, which will be the 'wrapping' for her Valentine gift she will get next month.įor this project, I used my embroidery machine, my sewing machine, Embrilliance Essentials and Embrilliance Stitch Artist (embroidery software), in addition to the Stitchopia Hope 1 font. I also wanted to add some tiny hearts to make a bit of a composition for a cosmetic-style bag for which I just found a great video tutorial! The bag features an easy zipper installation and a flat bottom. I decided to fill in the hearts with color! I wanted to practice some things I had figured out after re-watching Embrilliance Stitch Artist videos and this font gave me some ideas. This is a font with alternate letters and some of those letters have hearts! (There is a Hope 1 and a Hope 2 so there are lots of choices of letters with swirls and hearts, as well as simple letters to place between fancy ones). One of the first really great font digitizers that I found when I started embroidering was Stitchtopia! A few months ago, I bought a font that is perfect for Valentine's Day from Stitchtopia, called Hope.
