Nonnie B Designs

The two recent bears I've made for my Etsy shop. One from a receiving blanket and one from a sweater.

I'm a newbie Embroiderer on my Brother PE770 and I'm so excited to learn a new trick! How to use a large double hoop! My nephew is going to be happy with his pillow case with large words that go all the way across!

As I was going though boxes of clothing items of the orders I am working on and putting them away for the night, I came across the box of shirts my stepmom gave me of my Dad who passed away in April. I opened the box and lifted the 4 folded shirts up just a bit to see the different fabrics and an overwhelming emotion overcame me of grief, love, sorrow... Just remembering my dad in the shirts, his smell still lingers... And I looked at the other shirts of the orders I am working on and I felt the love of those people for their loved ones. I love working with people on their memory items and I love that maybe I have a small part in their healing process. It is truly an honor to work for you all.

My niece loves her bear!

I will be shipping these two bears off tomorrow!😍
