hi Heirloom Creations fans I'm Sara and I am going to catch you up on all the things that are coming
up new at our store including the return of do you remember our embroidery social back before covid
where everybody could bring their embroidery machines and then pick out a project and just
have fun embroidering getting help as you need and then just kind of having a fun social aspect to
embroidering I mean sewing is sometimes a little bit of a lonely sport so this is a great time to
come together so we have started this again but it's under a slightly different name so OESD
had something called a stitch party so we've gone ahead and partnered with their particular program
the stitch party includes a design and project each month so you have two options you can come
and do the project that is featured that month you'll get the designs whether you do it or not
or if you need help with one of your emerging projects we'd be happy to help so it's kind of
still a free-for-all and it's still going to be fun and you get to see what everybody's working on
but if you just want to have a project kind of presented and you walk through the projects that
they have done are easily finishable in that nice three-hour window so every month we have set aside
a morning and an evening time for the OESD stitch party aka the embroidery social so I want to show
you a couple of the projects that are coming up and then into the new year we will have
more projects for you again it's a $19.99 you are going to get the project design just by coming
and showing up if you didn't know about this and you're coming to the december one for example and
you want to purchase one of the other project designs we will hook you up you just need to
pay for that design and then you can get it so if there's a project that you kind of felt like you
missed because you didn't know about it no problem just let us know which ones you want and we'll put
it on your USB stick but I have a few other new things that have come out and you might like to
enjoy doing them instead so for example this just is arriving the peace on earth OESD tile scene
currently available as just a cd in our store but soon it will be a download from OESD's website
we'll put those links below there is going to be a thread kit when those are available and sometimes
they're limited supplies so if you see one and you want one go ahead and get it sooner than
later but you can get this design immediately on a cd but again if you're watching this somewhere
else and want the download just wait till those links appear in the description which will be
soon the other thing that we love to do from oesd is some of their lace designs or as this one is
part of the one of the villages that this one's called candy cottage has also just come out once
again it'll be a download shortly and this allows you to build your own isn't that cute
like a little gingerbread house this isn't the first village set they've done there is one from
previous looks a little different so every year they're kind of coming out with more and more
and then you can light them up with the tea lights you can put those little pixie lights
or tea lights up through the middle and bring them to life that this collection also includes
a couple of the free standing uh trees so they're kind of those ones that kind of come together like
this and then they stack up so makes it really easy to store away when you don't want to have
all your christmas seams out so some of the projects that are coming up for the stitch
party one is an apron with these kind of floating pockets so how do you get embroidery on pockets
and then have something coming up and out of the pocket that's going to be super cute you
can just buy a blank apron which we do have those kimber bell actually has those too so or add it to
an apron this is the one we just completed it actually is a t-shirt bag it's got a fun little
drawstring and could be a little tote bag for a young child or actually i've been loving dressing
bags for my lunches lately and then the design that you get for here says get your crayon on
so definitely a little bit more for a school age child but who knows you could have some
fun with it but the concept of taking a t-shirt or sweatshirt that you've already have or maybe
you're about ready to recycle and using that same fabric to create something so a little upcycling
and if you come into our store you can see what we did with the serger for these handles which
i actually really love they are amazing okay and then we also have a bookmark that is also coming
up so we pick some of the projects for fall that could be good for gifts or gift giving
so if you're looking for something quick and easy we have been using some of the new oesd
vinyl that is or glitter i should say and that is inside the bookmark and then again if you haven't
worked with stabilizer that allows you to have a standalone design this could be a great way to
try something new there's also going to be one other project we're working on it's with a cutwork
design on a little kind of clutch so if you look at our website you'll see which projects are
at different months and join us for the ones that you want but if you just need help with your
embroidery machine if you haven't mastered your embroidery machine of course i am the one that
does the embroidery essentials online course again check out the links and we've got a ton of free
videos that you can watch and see if that course is right for you this is going to take you through
lots of different embroidery techniques what it does is helps you master your embroidery machine
because you try something new at each of those blocks and before you know it you've actually
kind of played in every corner of your embroidery machine here we've got the latest kimber bell fill
in the blank project you buy the two the set of towels the blanks and then you get the exclusive
monthly design emailed to you so if you haven't ever worked on towels that could be something
that you bring with and try it out we actually do flexi foam underneath those pumpkins so
they have a little bit of a raised look they are really cute and then you can stitch the uh gents
jack-o-lantern face on the pumpkin or skip it and then you have just a standard pumpkin so
when you buy the blank the design is included with your purchase that's their fill in the blank going
through the end of 2021 or if you're at another location see if your local kimber bell store is
doing that for you so i hope you'll check out the links again if you like the new tile scene
give this video a little thumbs up and let me know that you are liking that and then
check out all the new collections oesd does have a program through the fall that allows you to get a
free cd with a purchase of 79 worth of stabilizer or product or other designs they're gonna
they have the warm and cozy uh holiday collection it's a different collection each of the months
to entice you to stock up a little bit on stabilizer speaking of stocking up if you are
looking at getting a new embroidery machine i would not wait until christmas to get it
or if you're retiring at the end of the year and you're going to get a new machine next year things
are starting to look a little slim pickings and i would not wait if you've looked at a car lot
lately you know what i'm talking about but it is also happening in the sewing machine world
i don't think we're going to have like a stabilizer shortage like the toilet paper shortage
but you never know so let's just plan you know maybe plan a few extra purchases
take advantage getting some of the free stuff and then like i said if you see a sewing machine
on our floor in our store it means it is in stock and available today if you do not see that model
in our store it is not available so that's how we've been doing it and right now the store looks
full but we are starting to run a little short and i don't know what the next year will bring so if
you kind of have a machine on your wish list get it sooner than later but otherwise i invite you
to join us for our oesd stitch parties we'd love to help you out with your embroidery questions
and projects maybe it's just time to reach out and get together with some of the friends that you've
been missed missing hanging out with so have a wonderful fall and keep in touch if you need
anything reach out to our store drop us an email reach out on our facebook page or even join us on
our friends of heirloom creations facebook page and share some of the projects you're working on
on a little side note i have actually been working with some a new company that produces these felt
tiles they stick to the wall but can be removed they actually are designed to be
sound proofing uh for rooms but they can be done and used in craft rooms and pin
up items uh for decorative use we've been doing those out in our event center as well and i
love love the feature being able to pin and unpin and so i put this in our filming studio
and it's a great way to have kind of some art on your walls if you don't have a quilt
up or you're maybe just wanting to hang a quilt i would highly recommend taking a look at the links
below called felt right and maybe do something and spruce up your sewing room this coming season
