Stockings

A fun project creating custom stockings, embroidered with their names for a client.

Tree skirt

Creating three custom tree skirts for VERMEER Manufacturing was the goal.  The skirts measured just over 96" and were made of velveteen, satin and white fur.  

T-shirt design

Creating t-shirt designs for local clubs and organizations gives me a chance to use my art and design background as well apply my knowledge of apparel and textiles and design. 

Guest House of Barn Boards

A friend posted this on their Facebook.  How inspired my husband is to recreate.  Wish we knew where the original picture came from.

T-shirt Design

It's that time again to create the Annual 8th Grade Party t-shirt. Wordle was used as the inspiration to create this t-shirt design.  It became alive with all 180+ students names.  Note: Wordle only allows you to use up to approximately 80-100 words.  Additional words and names were placed using post it glue while cutting and pasting.  A-Team Apparel out of Prairie City, IA polished up the layout, created the vector art, screen printed the shirts and sponsored the annual party.  A big thanks goes out to them for all their hard work in creating such a fun shirt and for generously sponsoring the 8th Grade Party!

Pella Swim Club - Team Poster

Our local USA Swim Club wanted to have team posters made.  The cost to have them printed locally was going to cost us $10/poster - cost prohibited.  I began searching for on-line resources.  Vistaprint was discovered.  

Wow what a great job they did - 50 posters for $56.  

MSPublisher was used to create the layout, the design was then uploaded and with-in two weeks we had posters to distribute to local businesses that supported the club.  

Greater Iowa Swim League State T-shirts

This year Pella Swim Team will be hosting the Greater Iowa Swim League State Swim meet with Grinnell.  Creating a design for the event was on the agenda.  Wordle was recently discovered.  Using Wordle has proven to be a super fun, creative way to use words with color.  The design below was used using the Wordle.Net website. 

The shirts were printed by Graphx2atee owned by Sportspage.
