Ten years ago, Dawn Wenner laid eyes on her
first embroidery machine. She decided this piece of equipment, along with
her love for computers, was going to be her way back home. She had an 18
month old child that she had waited her whole life for but she was never
home to enjoy him. Now, Dawn and her husband, Larry, run an Internet
designs and home embroidery supply store featuring Swarovski Crystal
Elements® from their home in Wilmington, NC. Except for the time she
travels to retreats and conventions teaching and introducing new products,
Dawn is home seeing her son Casey off to school and greeting him when he
gets home. Dawn has 24 years of
experience educating technical and management skills to students who are
thirsty for knowledge. Using this experience, she now teaches others how to
embellish and incorporate Swarovski crystals, Angelina and a variety of
other items like embroidery, quilts and anything that stays still long
enough to be embellished. |
Everything That Glitters
Of course a class from me has to be about crystals. We will practice several
different ways of applying Swarovski Crystals and Hot Fix Metals. You will
create a very easy to construct Neck Bag that has been very popular and then
add crystals to make it your own. We will also create a project using a few
other crystals products and even some New! Hot Fix Metals. |

7 years ago I
was thoroughly enjoying my hobby of machine embroidery, but was frustrated
that I couldn’t find cute and adorable things to personalize. I came from a
merchant/buying background so I was familiar with retail. I thought that if
I was looking for this type of merchandise, maybe other people were too! So
I bought some inventory, set up a booth at a small embroidery conference,
and hoped that other people enjoyed embroidering on pretty things as much as
I did! Turns out there are a lot of you out there that share my same
passion!!! I now get to enjoy a job that I truly love! Finding new,
exciting products for all of us to embroider on is what makes my day
exciting! Now, if only I could discover a 48 hour day instead of 24 |
Ah-Choo! Hankies Galore!
Hankies are making a huge comeback—but they aren’t just for the sniffles
anymore. We’re going to be making a variety of items using pretty lace edged
hankies. The completed projects will be perfect for bridal gifts, baby
gifts, and more. Think wedding dresses, angels, and bonnets. And of course,
we’ll monogram one just for YOU!! |

Allene Snow has
worked as a seamstress for over 35 years including costume design for
Galveston Mardi Gras and Texas Renaissance Festival. She bought her first
Embroidery Machine in 1995 along with the scanning device and developed a
passion for machine embroidery and digitizing. When PEDesign became
available the love of digitizing took off like a rocket and has grown with
each update. She started her web-based business Snow Lady Designs in 2000
and quickly became known for her freestanding lace designs with the look of
hand crochet. She has been teaching at various embroidery conferences and
local shops sharing with others this wonderful hobby since 2002 using visual
lecture demos and hands on classroom interaction. |
Don't Be Afraid!
Don't be afraid to mix mediums! Don't be afraid of free standing lace! But
be very afraid of missing the exciting project! We will be doing a little
learning to digitize free standing lace...a little embroidery...a little
playing with some water color...a little stitching free standing lace...and
a little sewing...to produce a fun project you will be proud to display in
your home. |
