Rick and I each have our favorite couches in the living room for TV watching. When I came down for some lunch and a quick TV show this is what greeted me:
Bronk looked up at the camera – Duma is the guy doing the hugging. Needless to say, I had lunch in the chair. LOL LOL
“I’m working on you Paisley Peacock Bag for my wife. Your pictures do not do justice to the beauty of the embroidery design. Scan the embroidery rather than taking a photo. BTW I gave you this tip a few years ago, so pardon the repetition. (I remember Michael! We could do the same with large images but everyone would complain about them loading so slow…Suz) If you blow up the jpeg you can see as much detail as you would with a magnifying glass. As you can see, I need to practice my free motion satin stitching and need to remove more jump stitches.. Mostly I used Sulky equivalents of your colors, but I added metallic accents and the eye filaments are done with # 2243 green/purple/gold variegated thread.”
Linda stitched our Italian Windows of the World set. I loved creating these designs – made me want to be in far off places!!! I like the fabric Linda used around the picture – it looks like stone of some kind and continues the design. Framing can either be a continuation of your project or a way to separate and define it. Both give great effects!
