Columbus - Indiana - USA

Hello all. Here I am on the last stop of my US road trip, in Columbus Indiana. I have learnt a lot of new things on this trip, not the least of how to drive on the opposite side of the road to how I was trained.

Houston Quilt Festival/Market was amazing. 20 rows, each 60 booths long full of people passionate about crafting. I found some amazing new techniques that I am looking forward to implementing, as well as metting many wonderful people.

Over the next week I will be teaching at the Indiana Embroidery Conference, showing the wonderful stumpwork frangipani flower technique.

Whilst I have been over here, I have been working on some new designs that I am looking forward to bringing you, including Sketch Stitch African Animals, Redwork Birdies, feathers, candy cane holders, and some great applique designs.
Welcome to the Julie Hall Designs blog page. Here you will find interesting ideas for using my machine embroidery designs, as well as notifications of new designs, and opportunities to assist with design testing. Sit down, read a while, and enjoy the posts.
