When the kids were staying with us Alece would remind me constantly that her birthday was coming up on June 5th! Because she was so persistent about it I decided I better make something for her! LOL So since this pattern is going to be used in a Creativity Challenge (where we each embroider the same exact pattern in our own creative ways) I thought it would make a good duel purpose project...the perfect gift for Alece and embroidering the Challenge pattern.I had an extra piece of pink flannel from a pillowcase that was cut down from king size to queen as an embroidered gift for my Mother-In-Law and I had saved the extra bit since it can easily be turned into a throw pillow! I took a "new" transfer tool I hadn't tried before and used it to create an iron on transfer of the pattern...and it worked! It would be nice if the pen could get a little more fine tipped but it's not a bad size! I wish I had tried this sooner! LOL It writes basically like a marker and then is ironed on just like any iron on transfer. I think I ironed a bit too much on the middle section but I think if I use thicker thread it should turn out all right. I also want to incorporate a little bit of Silk Ribbon Embroidery, but I'm unsure of how much because Alece is an active 6 year old turning 7 after all! LOL Also she loves pink so I'm going to go for shades of pink.

You and your kids have some lovely embroidery! And I think she will like the pretty lady!
Just have to add, what gorgeous children you have! Gorgeous AND enjoy embroidery!
Oh they aren't my kids I don't have any but my 2 dogs! They are the neighbor kids we help out their Mom and watch them sometimes...I am so proud of them to learn embroidery though!
