Holiday Shipping Woes! Communicate and Show you Care.

If you are a merchant of any kind you know how frustrating Holiday Shipping can be. Here is how PrettyPennyPrecuts keeps customers returning to http://www.PrettyPennyPrecuts.Etsy.com COMMUNICATION! Yes, it may seem redundant to the messages customers already receive from Etsy, but never overlook the opportunity to CARE! Since PrettyPennyPrecuts is in the business of providing motifs for Wool Appliqué, we add this cute little freebie to packages. There are so many cute stickers available these days, you could do likewise for your small business. The printed portion was made with Avery’s free design program on their website.

Die Cut Appliqué Minion

20 Nov

Isn’t this little Minion Pincushion cute? He is an example of me being derailed. Does that ever happen to you? Needless to say the project list is long. But sometimes you just have to stop and do something fun or silly. This Minion is my prototype 1. I am working out a method to create my Minions from my die cuts and of course felted wool. Special thanks to my friend Evie for her inspiration and her Farmers Wife block for display. Put Free Minion Pincushion in your search engine and patterns by others are sure to come up. Happy Stitching!

Die Cut Appliqué – The Bees Knees

26 Jul

Do you appliqué or is it the “A” word as I have heard some quilters call it? Well, for me appliqué is the Bees knees! Specifically I love die cut appliqué using primarily the Sizzix steel rule dies and felted wool. Never a scrapbooker, I have always used the Sizzix dies in my quilting and fabric crafts. I encourage you to cut something out and create!

Beach Memories

31 May

Playing in my wooly sandbox to kit up this felted wool appliqué candle mat in preparation for a workshop. Aren’t the colors awesome? This project is a great showcase for my hand dyed wools. I am sure we all have memories of a wonderful beach trip! Why not stitch those memories into a fun project? I used my favorite Sizzix.com machines and steel rule Dies to cutout these motifs. Cut something out and create!

Let’s Have Tea

13 May

What could be better than Tea and stitching fellowship? Not much in my little world! Sizzix.com has a couple of great Teacup Dies and I created a fun make ‘n take Teacup Needle Book with Bigz Die 658093, Flower embellishments 657722. You might think that a die cut project is pretty cookie cutter, but you would be wrong. My stitching friends blow me away everytime with their creativity. Here is a sampling of their progress today at our open house Tea in the Pretty Penny Precuts Studio. Die cut something soon and create! May your needle always be sharp and threaded.

Upcycled Stitching Notion – Petifore Emory Pincushions

10 Feb

Love a useful stitching notion. These Petifore Emory Pincushions fall into that category. The base/lid is from a Slimfast drink bottle. The wools are from recycled 100% wool garments some hand dyed. Even the Perle Cotton threads used to stitch mine were acquired at a local thrift shop. Of course I used my most favorite tools the sizzix.com Sizzix Bigshot Die Cutting Machine and Originals and Bigz Circle dies. The photos are the results of a Make n Take stitching session in my studio. Don’t they look good enough to eat? May your needle always be sharp and threaded!
