The Grinch Applique Project

10/26/2018

What a neat project I have for you today.  I have been very busy creating lots of new embroidery designs and stitching them out. So busy in fact that I had to get a booth at our local flea market because my studio was getting way too full. Since it is that time of year when the Holidays are right around the corner, and it is always good to decorate retail spaces, I decided to do something fun.
Picture
This little fireplace and all of my decorations were quick and inexpensive to put together. I made the fireplace from cardboard and wrapped it in white paper. The brick background came from the Dollar Tree.  It is a plastic wall panel that I folded in half and taped to the back of the fireplace.
Picture
The top of the plastic was wrapped in packing tape to stiffen it up and fishing twine secured it to the above rafters. The Grinch's dog "MAX" was just printed on computer paper.  The Grinch was machine embroidered and then glued to the front of the cardboard.  Grosgrain ribbon around the edges makes it look like a fireplace insert.
Picture
A small table was placed behind the fireplace so it would remain stable and I also put a couple of bricks inside of it just in case.  Look at all of those embroidered bags hanging on the wall.  There are also several vinyl projects, caps, tissue holders and my husband's handmade fishing lures.  If you would like to see his handy work jump over to Cowboy Tackle.

The Grinch is actually an applique project.  I used my multineedle machine because it has a large 12x12 hoop and I wanted to make it as big as I could.  The design was digitized in the Wilcom Hatch program. I love that software so much.  Each time I open it up, I learn something new and I am never disappointed.

 This project shows you the possibilities of using this awesome program! I hope you have enjoyed this post, share what you learn and are generous with what you create! Someone will appreciate your hard work! Joyeaux Noel!
