Just a quick blog post today since I’m buried in new projects. I’ve been working in Inspirations’ Vintage Embroidery Software and designed three different groupings. One is supposed to be a pillow but I’m having trouble deciding which one. I need your help but first, a little background on these on-trend stitches.
Vintage Embroidery software has hundreds of built-in designs that have been digitized to give an old world charm to your embroidery. The designs require a mixture of 15 wt. polyester and 40 wt. polyester thread. This unique combo gives a high-end retail look to your stitches. They’re so much fun to stitch because the designs are all low-stitch count designs in a minimum of colors so they stitch quick. With my busy schedule, I’m always looking for fast and easy with big results. Vintage fits that bill.
Before I proceed any further on this project, I thought I’d ask you – my fellow expert embroiderers – what’s your favorite grouping? Do you like the pink Vintage design Abs_0213_Ornamental_D?
The green Vintage design Abs_0259_Icon_D?
Or the blue Vintage design Abs_0024_Icon_D.?
Sometimes, I fall in love with all the samples and then, well, pillows become quilts. So help me stay on track and select one. Your vote counts!

Debbie

Mildred Moschel

Marilyn Kropp
September 8, 2018 at 6:55 pm (1 year ago)Blue! It just jumps out and says stitch me!
Barbara

Ennis A Weeks
September 8, 2018 at 8:04 pm (1 year ago)Love the pink but blue is a close second!!
Sandy
September 9, 2018 at 6:33 am (1 year ago)Ditto here: pink first, blue right behind it.
Sandra Sanders
September 8, 2018 at 8:46 pm (1 year ago)The pink seems too busy. The green or the blue, but the blue is my favorite.
beth d.
September 8, 2018 at 9:04 pm (1 year ago)I like to blue
Sheila Wagner
September 8, 2018 at 10:16 pm (1 year ago)I was torn between the green and the blue. But I go for the blue.
Laurie
September 8, 2018 at 10:18 pm (1 year ago)I think the blue one.
Julie
September 8, 2018 at 10:33 pm (1 year ago)I like the pink.
Thurma Livingston-Morrison
September 8, 2018 at 10:48 pm (1 year ago)Definitely the blue for me.
Nathalie Culotta
September 8, 2018 at 10:58 pm (1 year ago)Like the green but I think the blue makes a better pillow
Chris Morrow
September 8, 2018 at 11:03 pm (1 year ago)First is blue, second is pink, third is green.
Elaine Chapman
September 8, 2018 at 11:24 pm (1 year ago)Blue
Judy Warren
September 8, 2018 at 11:26 pm (1 year ago)Blue is beautiful!!
Gail Beam
September 8, 2018 at 11:27 pm (1 year ago)I like them in this order pink blue green
Michelle Hall
September 9, 2018 at 12:06 am (1 year ago)My favorite is the pink design, but all of them are nice.
ROBIN L FARLEY
September 9, 2018 at 12:24 am (1 year ago)I like the Pink because it fills up the front of the pillow. It’s also a very pretty pattern!
kate
September 9, 2018 at 3:39 am (1 year ago)You asked for grouping, I’d have to say the Pink grouping/design is the most attractive and eye appealing. thank you for us.
Anne
September 9, 2018 at 3:44 am (1 year ago)Pink!
Judy
September 9, 2018 at 4:43 am (1 year ago)Blue- more professional look- adequate white space to rest the eye & enjoy all aspects of the design
marie
September 9, 2018 at 6:07 am (1 year ago)Love the blue but all are pretty.
terry freeman
September 9, 2018 at 6:26 am (1 year ago)I like the green Vintage design Abs_0259_Icon_D. it’s different. Seems I’ve seen the blue one or something very close and the pink is ok, but I’m not a fan of pink. perhaps in a different color
Jean
September 9, 2018 at 6:52 am (1 year ago)I like the pink and the blue comes in as a close second.
Dalene Hokanson
September 9, 2018 at 6:55 am (1 year ago)Blue
Janet Kirby
September 9, 2018 at 7:21 am (1 year ago)Blue. The design itself makes this one stand out from the rest.
Kate Hartwell
September 9, 2018 at 7:23 am (1 year ago)Pink vintage then green
Annette Canonica
September 9, 2018 at 7:37 am (1 year ago)I like the design on the pink one but the blue color looks more “vintage” to me. Guess it depends where your are putting your PILLOW!
eileenroche
September 10, 2018 at 8:37 am (1 year ago)So true, Annette! But the beauty of stitching for a magazine is you design the room around the pillow. Not like real life where the palette is selected by the room decor.
BiBi Khan
September 9, 2018 at 8:15 am (1 year ago)Love the blue.
Eve Hutchison
September 9, 2018 at 8:43 am (1 year ago)The blue one speaks to me, really pretty.
Linda
September 9, 2018 at 9:05 am (1 year ago)I love the blue but that’s my favorite color but the blue looks like something I’ve seen on old vintage hankerchiefs.
Debbie
September 9, 2018 at 10:26 am (1 year ago)I love the pink
Elaine Davis
September 9, 2018 at 10:39 am (1 year ago)The blue is definitely my pick!
Jan
September 9, 2018 at 11:19 am (1 year ago)Blue, pink, then green!
Marti Morgan
September 9, 2018 at 11:27 am (1 year ago)Blue first – the other two are hard to decide but I think I agree wth Jan above, pink then green.
Cindy Freeman
September 9, 2018 at 11:27 am (1 year ago)I love them all, they will make phenomenal pillows. Why does it have to be one and not all? I like to make multiple pillow covers so I can switch them out as the season or mood changes. If I have to select one, the blue.
eileenroche
September 10, 2018 at 8:41 am (1 year ago)Cindy, that’s a brilliant idea and really cuts down on the amount of pillows on a bed or sofa but still let’s you use a variety – just spaced over time.
Denice
September 9, 2018 at 11:32 am (1 year ago)I like the blue for a pillow because it is the most complete single design. The other 2 designs could easily be part of a continuous border and therefore seem more quilt like to me.
Mary
September 9, 2018 at 11:46 am (1 year ago)I love the blue for a pillow.
Alice
September 9, 2018 at 11:52 am (1 year ago)Blue is my choice. Green is calling for something in the middle, maybe a monogram. Pink doesn’t do anything for me.
JoAnne
September 9, 2018 at 12:44 pm (1 year ago)Blue definitely
Karen
September 9, 2018 at 12:46 pm (1 year ago)Picking one is hard, but would say pink.
Mary Esser
September 9, 2018 at 12:48 pm (1 year ago)I pick the blue one.
Pam
September 9, 2018 at 1:13 pm (1 year ago)Pink
Josie
September 9, 2018 at 1:40 pm (1 year ago)My favorite is the pink one because it has a classic and classy feel to it. The green has too many shapes-round, oval, diamond and circles-so there it seems disjointed to me. The blue is pretty, but my eyes are drawn to the edge stitch around the hearts instead of the entire design.
Char
September 9, 2018 at 2:21 pm (1 year ago)Beautiful designs. I like the Blue or pink for the pillow.
Doree Shandera
September 9, 2018 at 2:31 pm (1 year ago)The Blue design is my favorite but I would like it in a deep red
They are all fabulous designs.
Mary Lu Teruya
September 9, 2018 at 2:36 pm (1 year ago)The pink
Susan
September 9, 2018 at 2:52 pm (1 year ago)Another pick for pink
Kay Simolke
September 9, 2018 at 3:40 pm (1 year ago)Pink!
Kay Bee
September 9, 2018 at 4:11 pm (1 year ago)The Pink is the “warmest” one to me.
Vonee Davison
September 9, 2018 at 5:41 pm (1 year ago)Blue, I would love that design in most any color! A cream color would look very vintage to me.
Betty Smith
September 9, 2018 at 5:54 pm (1 year ago)As I’m not a “pink” person my choice first was the green, the contrast with the background was just right. Second would be the blue.
Chris
September 9, 2018 at 6:50 pm (1 year ago)I love the blue!
Elizabeth Jane Cornett
September 9, 2018 at 9:09 pm (1 year ago)Abs_0213_Ornamental_D? IN THE BLUE COLOR
Debbie
September 9, 2018 at 9:11 pm (1 year ago)The blue one is beautiful.
Royce Zook
September 10, 2018 at 11:11 am (1 year ago)Use one with most “white space” as it is less busy and the eye will see the design without clutter. Blue.
Sandy Porto
September 10, 2018 at 11:25 pm (1 year ago)I like the pink and blue, but favor the blue
Kathleen De Verville
September 11, 2018 at 12:20 am (1 year ago)Definitely the Blue is my first choice, then pink. the green does nothing for me.
JD
September 11, 2018 at 1:07 am (1 year ago)Love all 3 but will go with the pink one because it seems to cover the pillow area better than the other 2.
Kaiti Hasenberg
September 11, 2018 at 2:52 pm (1 year ago)Blue, Love anything with Hearts.
