Description

Of all the cottages I’m made to date this is my most ambitious. It all started with a simple watercolor image of the pot with a couple of sprigs of green growing up on it and a big door of wooden planks. I never planned to make it this elaborate and not even in my dreams did I consider it could be.

I never know how my freestyle designs will turn out because they are not planned. I start with a simple image and literally design all the rest of it freestyle on the screen of my computer within my digitizing software. The design evolves with each day into something I can hardly believe it could be. This one took me 4 weeks off/on with the last week turning into 20 hour days as it was becoming a bit long in the tooth, even for me. Not to mention that I have other designs I’m anxious to make. 

Thank you for purchasing my cottage and supporting me and my efforts. I hope you enjoy it make many beautiful projects using it.

Notions

Like any embroidery designs notions depends on what you are making. I am still working on a wool bed throw – hence the gray wool background fabric

  • Background fabric of choice. I recommend good quality cottons, silks, and wools 
  • There are two appliques in this design. Applique fabrics for the kettle and the lid. I was fortunate to find one piece in my stash that worked for both all in one piece.
  • 1 layer Pellon ShirTailor fusible stabilizer
    • I do not fuse anything to the wool or silk but do cotton fabrics
  • 1 layer fusible 80/20 Quilter’s Dream quilt batting 
    • I do not fuse anything to the wool or silk but no cotton fabrics. 
    • For wool and silks I use a layer of Quilter’s Dream cotton batting
  • 1 layer World Weidner soft tear away stabilizer
  • Madeira Polyneon machine embroidery threads
  • Wonderfil #80 prewound bobbins
  • Organ size 12 Topstitch needle
  • Time. Lots and lots of time.
