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

Sunny’s Cat Totes

Last Christmas I made seven denim totes, each with a different Picasso Cat on each side, as Christmas gifts for my two daughters and grandchildren.  Everyone loved them, and I was asked to make more.  I have made three more as gifts and now I have one left for me!!  I used black or brown heavy denim, webbing for handles and my family uses them for grocery totes.  Here are two.  I used Picsasso Kitten, BFC2203-09 on one side and the left Picasso Cat, BFC320671-02 on the other side.  My youngest daughter brought hers to a Trader Joe’s store near where she lives here in Northern California and the entire staff ooh-ed and aah-ed at it!  Kudos to Suz.

Sunny – I LOVE all your projects. They are always so professional looking. Suz

Jannie’s Door Decoration

This is a window decoration next to the front door of our flat. I did different series of my stained glass together . I find the result  beautiful. Greetings and hugs from the Netherlands  Jannie

That is really beautiful Jannie!  What a fantastic idea.  We often think square or round, etc., but seldom something like this!!!!  I’m not putting a specific design link here – there are so many designs that would be appropriate  Suz

 

LN’s Whales

From LN   Oh my, I just embroidered the small whale, it came out FANTASTIC!!!!! I will definitely be back for more. I did these as FSL with organza underneath, came out GREAT!!!  The gray whale I did with some silver metallic thread.  I love metallic!

Coming from San Diego and always going to La Jolla to watch the Gray whales migrate to Mexico, I am a whale fanatic!  I just went on a cruise to Mexico and took a shore excursion, and I was not disappointed!

I have a request, is there any way you can make a whale fluke in the ocean for a large hoop???? I have one but it is really small and I am doing an ocean scene for my sewing room and it’s only about 2″ in diameter.  Way too small for what I want.  I’ll be working on this soon!  Suz

This doesn’t have anything to do with the whales, but with so many cat lovers out there I had to include it – Bless you LN!  Suz

I also got a bunch of the cats this morning. I have six in the house and a bunch outside. We take them to get spayed and neutered when they show up.  Took 13 in all at once one time, what a zoo.  I have a small ranch in AZ.

Mary’s Fairy Bags

Love the fairy horse for my denim go-go bags.  My husband and I make them out of recycled jeans and love the western and southwestern embroidery designs for them.  That horse is gonna be a big seller and I am hoping to get to the embroidery tomorrow.

We always donate the money we get for the bags to homeless vets, so I really appreciate when you put your designs on sale like you did today.

This is really wonderful of you both Mary!  Suz

Here are some pictures of those go-go bags we are making.  We go to the thrift shops and find the good, old, 100% cotton jeans.  Then my husband Paul is so good to wash, sanitize and dry with scent beads so I have a nice clean pair of jeans to deconstruct and sew.

These little bags finish out at about 7X9.5 inches and I just made up the pattern. They actually sell like crazy.  LOL!  I think recycled denim is hot right now.  I also attached a pic of a tote I made with one of your face designs.
