Christmas time gets most of my embroidery sewing time.
Christmas, but I prepare for Christmas all year long.
I would have to say Christmas time would be my favorite for sewing projects!
Ever since I learned machine embroidery, I’ve loved it and always add some on everything I sew. But I think my favorite season is spring/summer because I love the bright colors and it lifts my winter doldrums.
Christmas; I love the colors and decorating our home and making gifts for family and friends.
My favorite time to embroidery is anytime. I love to embroider for holidays, babies, my grandchildren. I love to make gifts with my embroidery.
Christmas for sure, and birthday/special occasions, although my machine is always looking for new projects!
Christmas. My favorite holiday of the year because anything goes.
Equestrian competition, my granddaughter LOVES anything I’ll make her for this, personalized horse blankets, saddle carry bags, etc. and I can embellish her clothing with just about anything I can think of.
I love to embroider for birthday/any occasion gifts. My friends and family always seem to enjoy receiving something personalized. The last gift I made was an apron and my friend hangs in it her kitchen as decoration. She says it is too pretty to use. That keeps me going back to do more!
Halloween!! Costumes, etc are so much fun to embroider and sew. I love this holiday.
I love to sew for birthdays – I have 7 year old twins so I sew decorations for the party, party bags and favours and of course presents for my girls (and others when it’s their birthday). My friends and family love to receive home made gifts!
I don’t really have a favorite time of year to embroider. I work on projects for my daughters all the time, and once in a while my husband gets a special project done just for him.
I am new at it but i would say anything.
I love making things to say “thank you” when people do special things. So its not a holiday but more of an occasion!
My favorite projects are prom dresses and wedding gowns. I sewed and beaded wedding gowns for two of our three daughters’ and their dresses were so special.
Fourth of July as I love summer!! But also love tyhe rest of the year too!!
I love CME magazine and always manage to learn something new with every issue.
Any time I can do something to say thank you to someone is my favorite time to sew. Never hurts to bring a little joy to someones life and that might be just what they needed at that time.
Christmas is my favorite! I just becme a Grandma and am having fun embroiderinf foe my Grandson
Valentine’s Day!
I love to take old things and update them. also, love Christmas
Halloween! I like making a little something extra cute and spooky to go with the candy.
I really like the Christmas season. Making the house sparkle for the season with all of the special touches means a lot.
Wedding presents and birthday presents then alot of Easter stuff
Christmas….I love to give home made gifts at Christmas. My family loves them too.
Christmas is when I enjoy special projects. Would love to win the book. Thanks for the opportunity
Christmas is my favorite time to make gifts. I love to make things for each of my grandchildren.
My favorite projects are Christmas of course but I really love making things for my new granddaughter and new nephew. Embroidery has come a long way and I love CME for showing us new and exciting ways to use our machines!
Love to sew for birthdays then I can concentrate on one item to make really special!
I just love the fact that now that I have embroidery, I can make any day a holiday!!
I do most of my sewing/embroidery for Christmas presents, but I also make things for birthday and shower presents.
Favorite season is Christmas. You can make some really cute things with all different designs.
Any holiday that requires gifts. I love to make Christmas and Birthday gifts.
I sew for Halloween. I love making all those costumes. Then, I start on all the holiday things.
I love to make personalized baby blankets for the new babies. Every new mom in my church gets one.
Christmas with all the sparkling metallic threads.
Its so much fun seeing all the projects available and learning something new and exciting.
i love to machine for all the holidays. the embroideries make everything extra special!
I like Halloween with the green, black, and orange pumpkins, cats, spooky houses….just too cute.
I love to sew items for Christmas gifts, whether they are a Christmas deco item or something that can be used year round. I’ve made fleece pillows, pillowcases, fleece blankets, embroidered shirts, FSL ornaments and a lot more. My second favorite holiday to sew for is halloween!
I incorporate machine embroidery into almost all of my projects throughout the year. It always adds a special little pop!
The fall seems to be the time I embroider the most things. Halloween and Thanksgiving are great subjects and then it’s Christmastime. No end to the possibilities.
It is a tough choice. Either Christmas or Valentine’s Day.
Everday that I embroidery or sew something is a special occasion or holiday for me.
Christmas, of course! Love all of those adorable snowmen and Santa’s, not to mention the beautiful table linens.,
Christmas is my favorite holiday of course. I love to make gifts.
I am going to go with Halloween
My first favorite occasion to sew and embroider for is a baby, the second would be weddings and after that, name the celbration or occasion and I would be happy to sew for it!
I love to sew projects/dresses for Easter, especially for my 2 GDs. It’s a wonderful time of newness with Spring and wonderful flowers of every color. Springtime inspires me with the freshness in the air too….plus I’m hoping that soon I can crack open a window or two. So ready for SPRING!
