This is my first month in the OESD Spree Club. This is a machine Embroidery Club that gives you an early release of several designs with a combined value over $200, including one exclusive design that is only available through Spree Club or your local retailer.

This club is $59.99 for the Digital subscription, or an additional charge to have a USB drive mailed to you with all the design files.

My initial hold up with this club is that my largest hoop is 6×10, when several designs require a jumbo hoop. Even though I can’t make all the designs, I found the value in having these designs in my collection for the day I have a bigger hoop machine.

Here are the design releases with my status and comments on the project.

Free Quilt Block Pumpkins

SKU: 13015

Low on my to-make list. I can only make the smallest pumpkin with my hoop.

Quilt Block Fall Applique

SKU: 13023

Medium on my to-make list. I would love to make at least one table runner with these designs, especially to use up my fused scraps from the Boo Manor Tiling Scene.

SKU: 80401

Finished!

I was immediately enchanted by this project. I finally learned my Brother Scan N Cut to make most of the applique pieces for this project. OESD applique requires a very tight trim if you try to do it in hoop, and there were lots of odd shapes to tackle.

The PDF instructions did have Tile 3 upside down, but is correct in the embroidery file.

Quilted Ghosts by Cynthia Fenette

SKU: 80403

High on my to-make list! I want to put this on a sage green sweatshirt so bad!

Gobble Gobble Jumbo by Beck Nimoy

Only available through Spree or Local Retailers.

Unable to make this one due to hoop size, but I greatly adore this design.

Stand up Dinosaurs

SKU: PK10105

Completed! I set out to make 2 of these designs, but only made it through the stegosaurus. It requires a lot of prep work for the foam. I tried to cut it in the hoop, but was left with a lot of un-stitched fluff on the edges.

Autumn Oak Lace

SKU: PK10106

Completed! I made 3 of the lace designs and put them on my calendar white board. Very pretty design, even when I mixed up my thread colors.

Steamboat Willie Quilting

SKU: PK10104

Low on my to-make list. I do have some Disney scraps I could see using this on a table runner. It would be a gift if the right occasion comes along!

I love Mahjong by Pen + Paint

SKU: PK80019

No interest in making. I’ve played and enjoyed Mahjong on the computer years ago, but don’t see any occasion to stitch this out on anything.

That’s it for August Spree! Make sure to check back to this post as I complete more projects and update details!
