store with 4 letters tomorrow joining a friend. Any tips what to look out for? Any secret embroidry gagets hidden in the store?

Was your trip successful? Brought home some stuff for your sewingroom?
Greetings, Bettina

Here is the rest of my ideas for using IKEA-stuff:
* This is the pic of the IRIS roller apron. Just didn't find them actually on the IKEA-webpage but maybe you can find something like this in another store :o) Used the RW-fairies from emblibrary.
* The placemats give nice little presents. Sometimes they have them in orange (> Halloween-designs!).
* Nice gift for kids is the small thermos jug called HÄLSA with a cover (I loved that rabbit :o). Just think on a little bit of tape or glue at the inside make sure that the bottle don't slip out or make it with a bottom.
So, now my head is empty *lol*
Greetings, Bettina

Enjoy - hope your purse is full.

Wish I can go and shop there!!!

Enjoy Hugs Yvonne

Hello, now the longer english version ;o)
I always buy the Grönö-lamps (made the fabric-covers for them). You find them in the projects.
* Iris is a plain white roller apron whith big section so you can hoop it without problems. (Will upload the pic of Iris later; did not find it right now in our 30.000 pics :o)
* Polarvide is a fleece-plaid. I made slip-overs and warm trousers for the kids and also an Advent calender (in Germany the kids get a little chocolate or gift on the last 24days to christmas) and hany-bags. Also wonderful for fancy dresses cause it is cheap and warm (when you stand in the cold with the kids waiting for the carnival parade> a kind of mardi gras).
* Terrycloth towels are wonderful for in-the-hoop heatanimals (> p.e. flipper frog/ olli owl from GG design). I fill them with cherrypipes cause the fabric is thick and the cherry pipes get hotter than grape pipes. You can also fill them withthese little plastic-balls so kids can play in the bath with them (same as they use for the pilow to put your head on in the bath tub).
Don't miss the fabric-corner or just the bed-linen (somethimes this is the cheaper choice).
Hope I give you some inspirationa and wish you a happy day at Ikea, enjoy the meatballs :o)
Greetings, Bettina

Hallo Susanne,
meine Favoriten: Die Grönö-Lampen (wenn sie mal da sind ;o), das weiße Iris-Rollo, die Polarvide-Fleecedecke (universell einsetzbar, auch zum Klamottennähen klasse), Frottee-Handtücher für in-the-hoop-Waschlappentiere und bestimmt noch einies mehr, wenn ich länger nachdenke ;o)
Will translate it later for the english-speakers; sorry I'm in a hurry...
Greetings, Bettina

Danke, Thank you Bettina - will have a cup of ? thinking of you.
What are you using the Iris window thing for? Hope to get some Gröno lamps - Bettina and others do lovely covers for them - and get my hands on some Frottee = terrycloth towels for ITH animals.
