Floral Angels Redwork

Hi Everyone! I don't know about where you are, but here in Western PA, the weather has been crazy! It will snow or rain and be freezing for a week and then out of nowhere, we have 60 degree weather and sunshine for a day and then it's snowing or raining and freezing again! No wonder everyone's been sick! Thankfully I'm finally over the flu, but I'm sure wishing Spring was around the corner and with it LOTS of blue skies and sunshine!  This week's new set is all about Spring and perhaps wishful thinking on my part :) but maybe Mr. Groundhog will predict an early Spring tomorrow rather than 6 more weeks of Winter!?!? The Floral Angels in Redwork seem to be ushering in Spring with buds and blooms and dancing their way straight to your quilt top or beautiful and unique greeting cards using Mylar!  Even if we do have 6 more long weeks of Winter, you can keep yourself warm with our In-the-Hoop Corn Cozies while sipping your favorite hot beverage!  Have a wonderful weekend and as always... Happy Stitching! Nathenia

Floral Angels Redwork Set includes 10 designs for the 4x4 & 5x7 hoops. Use with Mylar to create fun and unique greeting cards and even scrapbooking papers. Great for decorating our Corn Cozy Covers or the blank Scented Mug Mat shown below. 20 designs total!

ITH Corn Cozies Cold? Achy? Can't Sleep? Corn Cozies to the rescue! These In-the-Hoop Corn Cozies are so much fun to make. Heat them or freeze them for those aches & pains and other boo-boos too!

The Corn Cozy set includes: 1 square corn cozy & bag for the 4x4; 1 rectangle corn cozy & bag for the 5x7 & 6x10 hoops; 1 heart corn cozy & bag for the 5x7 & 6x10 hoops.

Prim Wreath Stitcheries- Corn Cozies & Mug Mats

Corn Cozies • Ice Packs • Scented Mug Mats & Trivets • Candle Mats • Coasters • Sachets •

Keyboard & Mouse pad wrist rests, Bean Bags & even a pillow for my Granddaughter’s Barbie Doll!

Those are just a few of the things that you can make with the ITH Corn Cozy Sets. But guess what? Those little corn bag liners also make pretty cool sachet, soap and seed bags! I have a ton of test squares and decided to use some of them for little salt scrub and milk bath bags for gift giving.  Print the instructions for adding to the bath, punch a hole in the corner, string a ribbon through, tie around the bag and you’re done!  I added some extra length to the top of the bags so I could have more of a ruffled look at the top when I tied the ribbon.

 

I've also added a couple of milk and salt bath recipes to the Hoop & Holler recipe section should you care to use them for gift giving! Since we live in a dry climate, we're always fighting dry skin, the milk bath recipes are my absolute favorite and are so nice for soothing dry skin!

Happy Stitching!

Rice Filler Recipe for Scented Mug Mats & Trivets

3 cups rice
2/3 cup dried Rosemary
1 cup cup Star Anise, broken into pieces
1/2 cup dried orange peel
8-10 drops Cinnamon Oil or more if you prefer a stronger scent
Mix together, store in a glass air tight container, shake twice daily to mix the scents. Best if made a couple of days in advance.
Use 2/3 cup per 6x6 corn/spice bag.

 

I like using herbs and fillers like anise and orange peel with the oils because they help absorb the scent, making it last longer.
