Jan’s Beautiful Work!

Jan has been a customer and friend for a long time.  I was so happy to hear from her on my Yahoo Group! She writes:

“Hi Suz,

I am still using many of your picture designs – love doing them.  This past 9 months has been a tough time for Marty and I.  He had 4 major cancer surgeries removing a kidney, tumor, bladder and prostate.  But after going through all this he is back in his pulpit preaching, helping with our golden retriever kennel and mowing 2 acres of lawn.  God has certainly blessed us and answered prayers.

Here are some pictures – mostly the older ones.  People who come to my studio just love them.

Jan ”

I think my favorite picture is to see Jan in her studio among her projects! Suz

An unusual, but beautiful use for some designs!

“Hi Suz

Here are two pics from a Custom Clergy Stole I did, where the customer asked for a cactus and sunset, and I knew just what designs to go to!

Deborah”

Very Creative Deborah!  I bet he was very pleased.  I couldn’t place the cactus at first – I knew I did it, but I found it finally – it’s part of a Windows set.  As i said – very creative!

Cindy’s Projects

From Cindy: “I thought you might like to see “shades of tangled animals.”I was thinking of entering it in a quilt contest.  I don’t know which one, but I would give credit to BFC for the embroidery art.

Would that be OK? ”

It certainly would be OK Cindy!  I love this quilt.  The animals really show up so well with the colors chosen.

Good luck in the contest Cindy!  Let us know 🙂

Cindy’s other project is one Of Ching Chous pictures.  A beautiful addition to the room.  The border sashing goes so well with the embroidery.

Evelyn’s Cat Empress

Evelyn has stitched one of my favorite designs.  And I’m so impressed – she did this after a long illness and it’s her first design getting back to stitching.  All of her things are now in storage and she is in Arizona with her son.  She can’t wait to get more stitching done!! She’s already picked out her next pictures.  Thank you Evelyn and best wishes for your recovery.

Sally King Designs

Genene has loved Sally King’s designs right from the beginning and has done most of them!

The first is BFC1065 Sally King’s Leaf Fairy – 2 Versions.  Genene used a pretty green batik for thefirst one and added Embroidery Gliter for the second one.

 

Sally’s Cupcakes are really fun designs to use.  They of course work for birthdays, but try adding them an apron and other kitchen linens for a bright fun kitchen atmosphere.

Thank you Donna! Your fabric frame really brings out the colors in the Flamingo Wall Hanging.  Beautiful!  I’m sure it really brightens up  your kitchen. ..Suz

Donnely’s Projects

Donnely: *The little fox is done on antique satin, I had to remove the binding two times, so it is a little off kilter, but since he will be hanging on my wall I am okay with it.
I did the reeader case many years ago even got a 2nd place ribbon for it at the fair. It has been well used and washed many times.
thanks again for such awesome designs!
Enjoy the day

Beautiful Pictures…

Donna came across our BLOG recently and sent me photos of two of her projects.

The first is our Stained Glass Pheasant.  I love the way Donna used the small butterflies to make a top for the picture – it really gives it all a nice finish.

BFC0635 Stained Glass- Pheasant

I’m going to hold off on posting Donna’s second project.  When I get a photo to post, I first find the set on the site so I can get the link, etc.  I couldn’t find it!  I thought it must not be in the right category.  Not remembering the name made it harder.  I enlisted Rick’s help and we looked at everything we could until something dawned on me.  I still had Donna’s history in our database so I looked up her purchases and immediate saw *A spring Afternoon*.  Yes – that’s the right set.  So back to the site – it’s not there!  So we had to start looking in our original site (we luckily saved everything from the old site – pictures, web pages, etc.).  We found it, but then found out it was actually 4 separate sets having different options!  This is going to take some figuring on how to add this to the new site!  We must have set it aside when we entered everything…that will teach us!!

Thanks Donna!!!

A very creative Stained Glass Wall Hanging

From Mary

“Here is the stained glass window i made with your stained glass birds

and butterflies.  The top is my own design.  I hope to sell it at a

craft sale.  I loved the designs.  Thank you for them.”

 

Wow – talk about creative!  Beautiful job Mary.  We have many sets of stained glass squares that this would work for.  The top can be made like Mary did or use pretty fabric that goes with the designs.
