Hi there!

It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been quite busy lately working on my new collections and drawings for future embroidery designs.

Here is a list of the good things that I’ve done during the last month:

– finished three winter collections (40 designs) that will soon appear in the shop

– prepared documentation, wrote descriptions and shot photos for 5 collections (about 70 designs)

– made sketches for 3 new collections (16 designs)

– made drafts of instructions for appliques and pieced in-the-hoop quilt blocks

– made 10 origami projectss (I’m going to use them to make sketches for future embroidery designs)

– learned how to make watercolor effect in embroidery

– made my first miniature quilt using pieced in-the-hoop blocks (digitized by me, of course)

– introduced some important changes into my technique of piecing quilt blocks in-the-hoop

Little personal achievements:

– doing things that train my brain and also give me fun (like playing chess and doing Japanese crosswords) on regular basis

– following the same daily schedule (at least during morning hours)

– eating less and feeling better

That’s it for today. In my next posts, I will show you my new designs along with some insights of creating them.

Take care and be inspired!

Your Jo
