Rhonda has outdone herself this time!
Putting a new twist on an old idea, she has created has created sucker holders.
These are really different than the sucker covers.
And this particular design has everything folks want:
1) An ITH design
2) It fits the 4 x 4 hoop
3) It is in the familiar “candy heart” style, complete with the cool sayings
4) It uses up all of those little scraps of fabric you have saved, hoping there would be SOMEthing you could do with such a tiny piece!
Please take a moment and look closely at the hearts.
As you can see, Rhonda did not just stay with solid color fabrics!
Now, let your imagination run wild!
Anyone who has little boys probably has come camo fabric!
Luckily, this design is ready just in time to stitch out some for your child’s/grandchild’s classroom.
Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday this year! What an awesome little treat to hand out at Sunday School!
You are only limited by your imagination!
One customer has already told us she is going to stitch out nearly 30 for her daughter’s class! And, her daughter is the teacher!
Thank you, Rhonda, for another fun set!

Customer Project!
Linda Waller saw this project and knew she had to make something special for her son’s Bear Den . “The boys are 8 to 9 yrs old so I thought camo would be more appropriate. All the boys loved them and none of them felt they were “sissy” valentines,” she says.
And, the best part ? Linda’s son is the DEN CHIEF!!!!
(Aren’t Moms wonderful?)
GO LINDA!
I did this a couple years ago, but used felt, and instead of the satin stitch outline I used a triple stitch, then cut the shape out afterwards with pinking shears. Was a very quick project to do (I did 200) and gave them away with suckers, of course. My husband put his heart on my car’s aerial, thereby giving it a secondary purpose, and very soon everyone who had received one was driving around with it on their car’s aerial!
[Editor's Note: I LOVE it when new uses are discovered for projects! This open up a world of possibilities!

I used these last week for my son’s cubscout pack (he’s the den chief). I used camo to sew them out on and the boys loved them.

I made a dozen for my primary class to use with the chocolate suckers I made. What a hit! One of my little girls wondered, “You made these teacher?” It made me realize how little children receive of our time and energy any more. They may be young, but they understand the extra love that goes into it.

How do you make the holes through which the suckers go?
Comment by patricia — March 2, 2010 @ 7:52 am
The holes are stitched in the pattern. After the design is sitched out. Take small pointy sissors and poke a hole through the material or cut the inside of the circle out.
Hope this helps.
Rhonda
