Summer Subway Embroidery Pocket..

It' s so easy to get hooked on the "subway art" style of creative expression.  The words create the art.. and also send a message to all that view it. 
This embroidery pattern and file.. is all about summer.  While it could be a wall hanging, or enclosed in a frame.  I think it would make an outstanding patch pocket.

For the example shown, I simply stitched out the design.. then added two strips of green to add a resemblance of the watermelon theme.  Attached a same size piece of cotton right sides together. The turned it inside out and stitched the opening closed.  It's now ready to be attached to a beach robe.. summer tote bag.. or anywhere else a packet could be used..




This a quick and easy Patch Pocket project.. but I am sure you can think of some different ideas this Summer Subway Embroidery.. can be applied to.

 If you are a new visitor I hope you will become a follower of my PES embroidery files..  Just give my followers button a click.. and you will be notified of new embroidery files when they become available online.

Memorial Day Decorating w/Subway Art.

It's the words.. the words enhance the decoration, or do they make the decoration?  I have become addicted to "Subway Style Art" for decorating. 

Our most patriotic holidays are just ahead.. Memorial Day and 4th of July. It simply seemed appropriate to create some decor using the "Subway" style seeing as there are such descriptive words that match those celebrations..


It's so red white and blue..



I created this embroidery file to fit the large hoop.. for my Brother... 71/2 x 11 1/2  so it makes a nice "tag" for the door.  Something different than the standard grape vine type wreath..   I think it has a nice summer cottage appeal. 

While this is a large piece..  I have a few more decorations coming shortly that will be for the smaller hoops..  


Enjoy this free file and I would love if you would become a "follower". Just Click the follow button on the left column..

Subway Baby !

This week.. we have worked on some more "Subway Art" embroidery.  It's baby's turn. There is one for a boy and one for a girl.

The design has a lots of wonderful "words" and includes a cute tag type border.. that you can add.. or simply stop the machine and choose not to do the border segments..

Enjoy the downloads..



Shown above with the border.. it's a tag of sorts with a cute flower hole surround to put a ribbon through.    Or you could choose not to sew the border segment and use the embroidery to use in a baby quilt.. or a wall hanging..





Enjoy these file downloads.... They are free.. and I would love it if you would

It's "Country" Subway Art..

Subway Art.. "the personalized kind"..  It seems to be all over the blog-a-sphere.. but I think Jen from Tatertots & Jello kind of put it together in a new style.. and from there is has grown and everyone has added their own takes..  I am going to try "Saying It With Thread"

I am sure the above title is an oxymoron, however the term "artistic license" can be added which then seems to make almost every art concept "OK".   Such is the case of Country SubWay Art.  But here is how it all becomes clear..  The more you view the descriptive words or pictures in "subway art" the more the concept seems likely to be applied to so many other things including HOME DECOR embellishments.. 

Simply the word.. embellishment.. opens the door for so many concepts..  For instance the simple way to add an embroidered tag with a ribbon to a throw pillow..  A pillow always seems to say welcome when placed on a chair or couch.. but add some "subway art embellishment to the pillow, and it is a touch of decorating magic.


The embroidered tag slides on the ribbon and the ribbon securely fastens it to the pillow by tying it off in back..

The pillow shown is 15 x15 inches..  The tag is created in the 5 x 7 hoop  and the PES file
is  Free to download and create your own pillow Country Subway Art..

Also.. I have created an embroidery file that will create a square Tag.. of Country Subway Art.  I think this can be hung from door, cabinet knobs.. or also attached to a pillow.  this art tag is 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 in finished size.   The file is a PES Country Square.. ready for you to down load.

the tags add a touch of embellishment almost anywhere..



You can also always find the FREE download files on the Download Page here.  If you download the free files.. please leave a comment below, I would love to hear from you.

These are so much fun.. and I will shortly add a "how to" for making these tags on your Brother embroidery / sewing machine..
