So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

By Jennifer Ferdinand


Embroidery is a great way to enhance clothing or other items. Embroidery is long lasting and looks more elegant than the alternative of heat transfers or screen printing. Embroidery is embellishment you might feel and has been used throughout history to improve the look of various fabrics. There are numerous classifications for embroidery depending on a few factors.

The first classification is determined by stitch placement and textile type. Embroidery that is typically seen on outfit is known as counted thread embroidery. With counted thread embroidery, a specific number of threads are sewn into a chosen leather. Counted thread embroidery generally uses woven cotton fabrics and other even-woven fabrics like linens and canvas. The other type of embroidery is free embroidery which does not take into account the weave of the fabrics, as seen in common Asian inspired embroidery.

Embroidery is as well classified into two different subgroups relying on if the stitches are placed on top of the foundation textile, or through the foundation leather. Surface embroidery is the type that is done on top of the leather. Surface embroidery is typically the free embroidery kind as opposed to counted thread embroidery. Most counted thread embroidery is done through the leather, which is classified as canvas embroidery. In canvas embroidery, the stitches produce a dense pattern that completely covers the entire foundation fabric.

Popular embroidery today is counted thread and canvas type. Embroidery is used on all types of items including clothing, bags, hats, and other accessories. Embroidery can be done on some of fabrics as well, including cotton, denim, twill, fleece, pique, and silk. Embroidered Apparel ranging from outerwear to business typical can be embroidered in any trend.

Embroidery has become an advanced procedure including the process of putting the embroidery pattern in digital form. The logo is then created by an advanced embroidery machine that can read this digital format. The result is an impressive piece of art that comes from the ancient art form of embroidery.
