BFC Creations – Where Thread comes to life!
This quilt is made from Vickie’s quilt pattern and the designs from the 10,000 member set. It was so much fun to make since borrowed a friends embroidery machine and did the large size of the designs. As you can tell I love the bright colors. I started out with all the colors in a print I had and thought that would be the border but I should know better by now and never decide on a border until I am done as this one spoke to me instead.

I have found my Remembrance Day quilt that I made using your field of flowers and my husband’s original poem To A Fallen PeaceKeepers (Robert E. Kerr).
This was the first I had ever done and I would like to enter it in the quilting contest.
Here is my quilting contest entry. I used design BFC 1032 Japanese Fantasy Garden Art Quilt. I did alter the size of a few of the designs. I added a bridge I put together to go over the water. I used aquarium gravel for my rocks and small beads for my flowers. My effort does not do the design justice – but it is what it is.
This was my first attempt at top quilting. I did find out that it does not work well with your embroidery foot. LOL
Attached are 3 pictures of My Hummingbird and Hibiscus Purse. I really had fun making it and I didn’t realize that there was a contest on until after I finished it two days ago. I was really happy to see that the flower came out so realistic. I used a canvas fabric for the purse body and the lining is a red mixed fabric.(I cant think of the name of the fabric at the moment) My name is Jane Thank You
Sue here are my photos of my entry into the Hummingbird contest. I found this floral denim jacket in a second hand store and it looked like the perfect canvas for your hummingbirds. I used a light weight stabilizer as the fabric has so much body of its own.
Thank-you again for the challenge and the fun.

I made this for my Mum’s birthday as she loves all feminine things that are peachy/rose in colour. The bag fabric is a cream curtain-weight polyester, though gives the look of slubbed silk as the colours move with the light. It is lined with a range of pinks and florals from my stash that coordinate with the embroidery.
Great idea about using the various fabrics for the lining! That can add a lot of interest in the bag itself – make it more special! Suz
I have used the BFC 830 Passion Flower Bag Pattern and designs for my project.
My daughter gave me the pre-made vest for a gift. It is beautifully made and I thought that I could improve it by adding some beautiful machine embroidery to it.That year I was going to a patchwork retreat with lots of like-minded ladies. – Are you like me? Do you like to show off things that you make to people who appreciate the work that goes into it – not like showing my husband – or my work colleagues – even my patchwork friends – who back – even my patchwork friends – who back in 2009 weren’t into machine embroidery. So I decided to make a lovely bag and decorate the vest with the same designs. The colours of the Passion Flower designs were exactly what I had in mind. I must say it was a hit.
I purchased the “Passion Flower Bag” pattern and designs from Suz. I made the bag using cream and brown silk that I had bought from our dear friend Sylvia. The design stitched out beautifully on the silk and the pattern was excellent with very good instructions for making it. I then used the designs to embroider across the back of the vest and over the left shoulder. I was very happy with the finished project and always get a lot of comments when I wear it.
I LOVE this Kay! I wear vests all the time. this is a really stunning outfit. No wonder you get lots of comments! This is a great example of how the designs on our bags don.t have to be used only for bags! Suz
I used the Spring Bouquet Super Tote (BFC1165M) to make a knitting bag as a Christmas gift. The design was stitched on a cream linen and the bag is a purple faux suede. The tote lining and trims are also made from the cream linen.
Beautiful Carolyn! I love the pockets on the back and sides. Suz
I love hummingbirds so had to make this.
The brown batik I brought back from Bali this summer. The green blue batik looks to me like shadows in the branches and leaves of the trees
I made the handle longer so I could get it over my head and shoulder.
I have pockets all the way around inside. This is the first contest I have entered.
I love the colors you used 🙂 Suz
I just picked this up from the framer and am very happy with how it turned out! Floral Expressions #1, the largest size.
Completing a design such as this is not easy and though it’s not perfect, it deserves to be framed! Babylock Meridian really came through for me as IQ positioning was very helpful. Sue
Second Photo: Framed to match a prior piece I posted, this one is designed to look like a tiling scene upon completion. Through an intricate process of stitching individual squares and realigning the background fabric with each new tile, the process requires both precision, patience and time. This one has 9 tiles. Completing a design such as this is not easy and though it’s not perfect, it deserves to be framed!
