 Introducing

The Peace Wreath

The Peace Wreath was imagined after one of our Friday zoom calls. 

MEL Cindy had shared that she loved making the Posies for MEL coasters - stitching up a total of 36 of them!!!

After sharing, she mentioned, "I'd love to be able to stitch up a dove and a poinsettia for the Holidays!"

Cindy - your wish is my command! 

We are delighted to introduce The Peace Wreath, with 5 gorgeous dove designs and 3 variations on a poinsettia flower!

The Peace Wreath measures 16.5" x 16.5". 

A circle of holly surrounds the 8" diameter center, which can contain one of the 5 gorgeous dove designs or 2 variations on a poinsettia.

The poinsettia can be stitched up as a "regular" applique, or it can be transformed into a vibrant 3 dimensional beauty!

"Your designs are beautiful!"

Oh, your designs are beautiful!

When I read your instructions, it's just ABC.

This is what you do, and all I need to do is follow it.

"Easy to do!"

Your designs are so wonderful, and they're easy to do if you just follow the instructions.

It's good that you are an engineer, because then you figure out how it goes together so that other people can do it.

And I think that's a talent, a good talent.

"Fun and amazing!"

I think Sarah's designs are just fun and amazing.

When I get everything stitched out, it's like I'm holding it up and I go, wow, did I really do that?

We chose Michael Miller Fairy Frost with a touch of Cotton Shot Pearl by Benartex to stitch up The Peace Wreath.

Fairy Frost Avocado for the background with Celedon and Cherry for the holly leaves and berries.

Cotton Shot Pearl Crème Brulé makes for gorgeous ivory doves. 

Our favorite Christmas colors were used for the poinsettias: Fairy Frost Evergreen, Hollyberry, Cherry and Amber.

For the dove coasters we used Maywood Studios Starlight Metallics in Emerald and Jade.

Meet Your Designer

Dr. Sarah Vedeler

Since I was a young girl, I've had a love for sewing.

That love transformed into a hobby, a passion, and then a career.

Nearly 2 decades ago, I started designing my own quilts and offering those designs (as well as classes on how to use them) to quilters all over the world.

I discovered my super-power and purpose:

To ignite the fire of creativity in the hearts and minds of people who are hungry to experience the transformative process of creating something beautiful themselves.

Watching people of all skill-levels and walks of life grow their skillset and their confidence using my designs has been incredible.

In beautiful nerdy fashion, I mash up my PhD in Theoretical Computer Science and career as a Software Engineer with a love of color and design. 

The result?

Machine embroidery applique and quilting in the hoop designs which allow YOU to create spectacular quilts and other projects.

Creating magic is just a stitch away.

Make this holiday season one to remember.
