Jeni, ITH is a term that is used by machine embroiderers. It is the shortened version of "In The Hoop" meaning that the item is completely made on the machine in the embroidery hoop and usually doesn't need to have any additional sewing on the sewing machine. Thanks, Jen.

Day 7 - Creating a template for a double page. I have changed the title text on this last submission for the Workshop. I regret having chosen Forte as the font for my title font. Thank goodness for digital, I can go back and change the font to my new font without any problem.

Day 6 - Page 6.

@Cassel A coaster is the term the embroidery fraternity uses for round or square coasters. Coasters become mugrugs when they take on a more rectangular shape. The size I like is the 5" x 7" ones. In effect though mugrugs are coasters too.

Day 5 - Page 5 - I like making Mugrugs entirely on my embroidery machine which is a 12 Needle Voyager Happy Machine. I usually include a note with my mugrugs when I give them to family and friends letting them know what they are used for. Many South Africans have never heard of them so I tell them that they must stand their drink on the mugrug as it will absorb any moisture and prevent damage to the surface, and also they can put a snack next to their drink on the mugrug.

Day 4 - Page 3 and Page 4.

Day 3 - Page 2. I also made the Town Square Quilt pattern as a double bed size quilt.

The pattern square isn't appliqued. It's such an easy pattern to follow and make. Here is how each of the blocks is made:

Day 2 of Magazine Workshop. I decided that I would use Affinity Photo to create the pages of the magazine.

Theme for my magazine will be to show items that I machine embroidered or sewed in 2023. Here is Day 1 - Magazine Cover

Many thanks for providing us with the opportunity to learn to use Affinity Photo. Whilst I'm sad that Paintshop Pro will no longer be updated I'm am looking forward to learning to use a new program.

Shadow Workshop - Lesson 4

Shadow Workshop Lesson 3 I need more practice on how to do lifted corners from the artistic point of view. The method of doing the lift is straight forward and easy to follow, it need practice to make the lifted corner look more realistic. It was a fun lesson to do.

Shadow Workshop Lesson 2

Shadow Workshop Lesson 1

Lesson 3 - Leaf Thank you for explaining so clearly how to copy a shape. I will be using this feature a lot.

Thanks for Lesson 2 ... the hearts were fun to design. I like how wonky the last heart is.

Here is Lesson 1 Heart and Arrow.

Lesson 1 Background Paper and brad came from The Curio Panty: Time to Unwind kit. The font was Edwardian Script Font.

Thanks Carole for offering this workshop. I'm looking forward to it.

Scrap Bootcamp Day 11 - Project #5 I know that "Tigers" looks like "Tigors" 😄 but I wanted to put something in the title to remind me later that I can use elements to substitute for letters. @Cassel Many thanks for the Scrapbook Bootcamp, I have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Scrap Bootcamp Day 9 - Project #4

Scrap Bootcamp Day 7 - Project #3 I loved using the guides to line up the photos.

@Ann Seeber Thanks for the information.

Scrap Bootcamp Day 5 - Project #2 @Cassel If there was an email for Day 4, I never received it.
