Machine embroidery is such a fun and unique way to make greeting cards. And there are so many ways you can personalize your cards.

Don't want to embroider on cardstock? You can always embroider on fabric and then attach the embroidered design to the cardstock with a decorative stitch or glue.

I gave my husband dimensions and asked him to build me a riser stand for my embroidery machine. This is what he came up with. I just love it. It will make embroidering on sweatshirts, shirts, amd bulky items so much easier.

Let me know if you’d like a tutorial or pattern and I’ll see if I can get my husband to help with that!

Rumor has it that we’re expectant grandparents!! Baby boy is due to arrive in August. So, of course, I needed some baby boy appropriate sewing labels.

Warm spring days have me daydreaming about summer. And daydreams about summer always include homemade ice cream.

I have the 1.5 quart Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. My two favorite flavors are strawberry and vanilla. My husband’s is butter pecan. Most of the recipes start with a creamy base, including my homemade vanilla extract.

You can find both ice cream recipes and my vanilla extract recipe on The Birch Cottage blog. What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
