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!
“Attached are pics of my 12 Days of Christmas quilt. It was suppose to be finished for Christmas but I ran into problems with my embroidery machine threader and it had to go to dealer. Also, I had a problem with the trees being too dense and the thread breaking but with a little patience I was able to complete it.
The design blocks were of a gold fleck cotton on which I used my Digitizer program to stipple around the designs in gold metallic thread. The coordinating backing and red border also have gold metallic in them.
On the back I created a label with information to, for and date. I think you will find the quilt pleasing. Carolyn”
NOTE FROM SUZ: The trees are dense and especially on a background of more than one layer of fabric. I recommend just slowing down the machine during the tree areas.
I would love for you to feel free to send me your BFC projects. You can send them to suz@BFC-Creations.com. Send whatever size photo is the best for you and send as many photos as you want. I will post them all or choose what will look best. Also I would love if you could write something about making the project. It could the fabrics you used, whether you changed the colors, why you made the project – even problems you had that you were able to overcome!
I made the Eurasian Eagle Owl and Greater Bird of Paradise as Christmas presents. I embroidered them on the back of sweatshirts. They turned out well and were big hits. Michael
Michael is now working on the Large Snowy Egret – I can’t wait to see that one!
