Sheer Tulip
“I was hoping this would work as an applique using glitter. It was very hard to trim away the excess glitter. For me it works fine and I will have to clip several of the friskies showing in the photo. Can hardly see them in person.
What I did was fuse fabric to the back of the glitter then went on as usual. I assume if I had used the design on something, trimming would be easier.In person, it really is a lovely design and glad I tried it as an applique.

Large Embroidered Tote
From jc:
“I made this 24″ x 36″ 4 compartment tote to transport my wall hangings.
The handles are over 5 feet long and have a continuous embroidery design on them — Both the top and bobbin threads are continuous; no cuts or pieces.”
I LOVE Tote bags and use them for many things. (that will be a tutorial later on) but I hadn’t thought of making one large enough for wall hangings. I think this would be a great way to store our embroidered pictures when they aren’t gracing the walls. You could hang them on hooks int he back of a closet or a similar space. It would keep them clean and neat. You could even make totes for different types! I might add a zipper if I was going to use them for storage to make sure the embroideries didn’t get dusty.
This would be a great way to practice doing large designs too! If there is a little *boo-boo* somewhere it wouldn’t matter and you would have very interesting Embroidery Tote bags!
Great Project jc!!!!
Velda’s been busy!!!
It was a lot of fun to get Velda’s email with all her projects. Here is her words: “I’ve been working on some tile scenes that are my favorite. I love your work! I will say Winter Peace took me 3 tries. I embroidered it twice. Finished it 3 times. It’s important to square everything as you go. Learned that the hard way. Velda”
They are all beautiful Velda – you did so much work on them!! 🙂

A wonderful Sewing Worktable
SueP of my Yahoo group told us about her new table! It sounds and looks wonderful.
SueP: “My new sewing room is now done. Hubby finished his part of the cutting table tonight. I still have some touch-up painting to do on it then I can start to unpack and sort all the supplies into the 35 new drawers. It is 93″ long and 42″ wide. I can’t wait to work on it”
Sandy: “What type of wood did your husband use to make the table? I had thought of getting some type of pressed board to make a large sewing table. I’m not sure of what it is called, but it is the size of plywood (4’ x 8’), but denser and heavier. I didn’t know if it would sag in the middle due to its length.”
SueP: “Thank you. Yes, you are describing the material he used. He built a frame under both top and bottom with 2×2 & 2x 3 lumber. Like you would build a wall. The legs are not adjustable; but we measured the height that I wanted to work at. It is slightly higher than a standard counter. He then laminated it with a smooth product used for making kitchen counters. I bought the drawers at WalMart.”
A Mermaid Bag
From Karen: “I just finished a bag I have been designing On what fun Thought you would get a kick out of it The embroidery is done on black velvet The colors are what II saw last time I saw them ggggggggg”
Great Bag Karen – perfect for the tow ladies – the Mermaid and the Model!
I’ve always had a soft place in my heart for this mermaid. I did her in Dec, of 2003 – I started the website in Nov. of that year so I was still very new to all of this. I remember how excited I was when I discovered I could make her tail sheer . LOL I was afraid someone would be offended so back then I added something about if they would prefer, the tail could be stitched two or three times.
Adorable Baby with an adorable Baby Hat
Lenka: finally I have finished the baby hat and made a photo for you. Hopefully you will like the colors of your moth.
Again, thank you very much for your designs.
This was a free design available only on my BFC Products and Sales Newsletter.
