Activity 9 - Embroidery Module - March 26, 2010

I have already done some work regarding an embroidery module.
This time we are using an update to the system. We still followed
sequences and did a test at the end. Me and my partners worked
on a balloon. For my embroidery project I took a grey cotton t-shirt
and added embroidery stitching to the shirt. I used orange thread
and put "TEXAS" "Longhonrs". TEXAS was done in all caps and
the "Longhorn" was in script lettering. I have posted some pictures
of the final work. I really enjoyed making the shirt and I'm going to
give it to my Grandpa as a surprise.

Activity 9 - Journals - March 2010

Worked on module again today.
Follow sequence which is media, workbook and then test.
I worked with my partners using the computer.
We used paint to add color to a balloon image for the embroidery machine.

March 10, 2010

Worked on module some more today.
Followed sequence like before.
There are some problems with the new system,
but we will get a good grade for our effort.

March 12, 2010

Worked on module again.
Today, I was going to try and do a brown ballcap.
I was going to put "TEXAS" with orange stitching
on the side, but we were not able to do it.
We need for the item to be flat, so I'm going to
try something else. We can add vocabulary &
crosswords to our blogs for xtra points.

March 25, 2010

Today, I brought in a grey cotton t-shirt to
put some stitching on. I put the shirt on the hoop.
Once the program was set with directions I pushed
the start button. I used orange thread and spelled
out "TEXAS" in upper case and then below that I
put "Longhorns" in script letters. It turned out
really nice. I'm going to give the shirt to my
Grandpa as a surprise.

Embroidery Summary

This module we learned some new things and that sometimes things

don't quite work out. We learned how to setup a machine; and

work with image files. The great thing about this module is that

you can make really nice things to give or to sell as a business.

Here are two photos that I have scanned in to show you the work

that I did with the embroidery module. I used a grey t-shirt, orange

thread and two types of lettering.
I used upper case on TEXAS and script for Longhorns.

This is going to be a surprise for my Grandpa.

Vocabulary Quiz Crosswork Puzzle

I have done this puzzle before,

but it never hurts to do things again.

I actually learn better the more

times I do something.
