Betty Ann’s Alpha

Hello Suz,

Thank you for introducing your thoughts on the Lace Alpha.  As I watched the stitch out of letter A, I was impressed by detail used in this design and the beauty of the finished design.  I used medium tear away stabilizer in my hoop and floated the top layer material.  For the first colour (white) I slowed my machine to 700 spm,  the second colour (pink) I reduced the speed to 500 spm.  There were no thread breaks or broken needles.  Amazing, I wish all my embroideries were as hassle free as this one.

Thanks so much Betty Ann!  Suz

Stefani’s Cupcake

Hi Suz,

I don’t know if you remember, but when you first released the Sally King cupcake set, I had sent you an email about the promotion you had going on at the time. Well, I did get the apron made for the lady who made the top tiers of my daughter’s wedding cake and the wedding was today. The top tiers of the cake were traditional cake but we made cupcakes for the rest of the cake… so your design set was perfect. The lady who made the top part of the cake is trying to open her own cake decorating business and she did a beautiful job (and didn’t charge hardly anything! She’s a friend of a friend, but still…). Obviously I added the text, Cake Dreams is the name of the business she’s opening. Anyhow, she loved the apron and the design was absolutely perfect. I’ve attached the picture of the apron onto here for you, in case you want to use it for advertising purposes or as a project picture.

Great Story Stefani! Suz

You did a beautiful job Dawn!  Can’t wait to see the next one.  Suz  It’s two days later and Dawn just sent me more photos!  She is FAST!!!

Sunny’s Pillows

I don’t know if I ever showed these pillows for my oldest daughter’s sofa (which is red).  She loves them.  One is Feline Stare and the other is the Sagittarius.  They look stunning on her red sofa.  You and she seem to really love cats!!  Keep up the great work Suz but at some time you have to retire!
and for a grandson, who also loves kitties, a pillow for his bedroom

I can’t see me retiring Sunny!  I’ll go with my mouse in my hand  LOL   Suz

Vilma’s Quilt

It took me 5 years. I am kind of slow. And yes you can use it however you like.  It is supposed to be a dolphin quilt but I-inserted a few whales. By the way orcas are dolphins not whales. It is kind of heavy. My grand daughter is 10 yrs old. I am working on a sham .

I can identify Vilma – I have more unfinished products than Ihad colors of thread. LOL   Suz  Fantastic job – i bet she loved it!

Laura’s Dragonflies

Good Morning,  Just wanted to share my finisher dragonfly project [Ching Chou’s Dragonflies, BFC 1366].  What a happy wall hanging.  My husband never gets emotionally involved in artwork of any kind, however he asked me to keep this to hang on our front porch come summertime.  That, in itself, is pretty high praise for this wonderful design.  Thank you, Ching Chou, for your inspired artwork, and thank you. Suz, for turning it into stitches  Although the design is near perfect, my outside corners are not, bummer.  It gets harder and harder to work on black the closer it comes to my next birthday.  Also wanted to let you know I have all the  downloads and paperwork ready  to start on Chin Chou’s Butterflies I and II.  Can’t wait to get started!  Until then, Laura
