BFC Creations – Where Thread comes to life!
Genene made a gift for her son Adrian. From Genene:
Well, We were able to get the whole thing matted and framed this morning and then wrapped and packaged up so Mark is taking it to the Rhode Island distribution center to give it a jump start on its trip to Adrian I think the black frame and black mat worked out much better than I anticipated. It looks really nice
I keep thinking I’m going to get my studio up here on my third floor cleaned up so I can take pictures and share them. Well, many years later I’ve finally realized that day will never come. LOL LOL Last week Rick took some photos up here without me knowing it. So I’m going to cringe and post them all 🙂 Please understand this is during areal bad heat spell. haha I’m trying to make excuses, huh?
Ok – i’ll be brave, here goes…
My back is to this view while I’m sitting at my desk. There is a big window above my desk, so I get to see birds on top of the telephone polls and flittering through the trees.
This is the top of stairs that go down to the second floor.
I love my thread wall – i often sit in front of it when trying to decide on colors for a design
On the other side of the opening in the wall is my *kitchen*. The people that had the house before us left a clawfoot bathtub up here. They had it taken out of the bathroom and replaced it with a hot tub. Not sure about that decision LOL you almost had to shimmy to get to the throne. Needless to say the hot tub is history and the clawfoot tub is my *kitchen sink* I make coffee, have a little frig, a microwave, and cat food (most important!)
This is the back side of the studio. There is a little balcony. After this picture was taken I have it all screened in so the cats could go out. A very popular place up here.
Hi Suz, Good afternoon.
Your designs are just amazing!! I am sending a picture (as promised) of the Tiffany Peacock, sorry the picture isn’t better I think I am getting a glare off the lake. As I mentioned earlier, you can see the colours are spot on if compared with the actual stained glass. I am very pleased with how it turned out, and this one is just for me. Friends and family see what I have done and now they all want one. I have also found that working on the designs (and e mails back and forth with you) I have also learned more.
Thanks so Much Suz, have a great day.
Gorgeous Kelly Jean!
I love this method of displaying embroideries! It looks like a real painting.
This is how I did the embroidery on the canvas…Genene
I learned something very important from Belinda! She wanted to stitch the Classy Lady designs, but wanted a darker skinned beauty. But…. i have made the skin color the white part of the eyes. It looked fine for a light skin, but would be horrible for a darker skin! I gladly made the white fo the eye stitch separately and as you can see, the lady is beautiful!!! Thank you so much Belinda.
I know it’s been a while but she will be a pillow cover. Belinda
Good morning. Here is the latest in my adaptation of your awesome design, BFC 1409, Oriental Cranes. I have had the background fabric in my stash half way to forever knowing someday I would find the perfect use for it. Obviously your design was it. I did some simple quilting on the backgroud fabric before I did the embroidery and after I did some design placement with a template. Then once the design was finished I outlined stitched the design for a little more definition.. Thanks so much for all you do. Until next time, happy stitching!
Absolutely beautiful Laura!
I love the way Joy has displayed the shoes in this quilt. They seem to be a real part of the harmony of the quilt! Beautiful job Joy!
John does beautiful embroidery work on Balsa Wood. They make gorgeous framed pictures!~! 
Wouldn’t that be nice!
Yes I use lots of fibers in my work!! I’d love to work with you. My time a the moment is limited because I am still working 2-3 days a week……at 68! However, I am planning to retire next June—earlier if ………..
I’ll send you some photos of my work.
I am feeling very honored with your suggestion.
I’ll send the pictures separately
June
This one is great June! I do love your work too.
Suz
