BFC Creations – Where Thread comes to life!
I’ve used this bag very much myself. Beautiful job Thérèse!
Used the Safari Series to make toy bags. They are drawstring bucket bags and fully lined: the original has a clear plastic window on one side and the embroidery on the other. Had to re-engineer it to accommodate the height (Toy Bag 2.0) Parents like to use them for stuffed animals because stuffies are dust collectors, or to take favorite toys to Grandma’s house. In later years they can be used as laundry bags. Your Safari Series worked perfectly and these bags will be very popular. Jan
This is a super idea Jan!!!! So many designs could be used depending on the child or the parents wishes! Suz
These designs can be purchased individually or in a combo set.
I was trying to organize my computer (a forever job) and came across these project photos from 2004. when I have time I’ll try to identify some of the designs these were made from and put the links on this page. If you see something you really want to know how to find it, send me a message in the contact form.
it’s very successful!!!! Suz
Gerda wrote and asked about making these circles freestanding. I suggested using organza and it came out great! It would be so pretty hanging in a window.
Happy Easter! You chuckled when I ordered this design, but here’s proof positive that I do love and use the designs I order! Here’s my take on the Cherry Tree Branch Design, 0528, by Chantell. It’s a bit whimsical with fantastic colors, 3-D embroidered flowers and 6 lovely little chickadees. The flowers and chickadees are embroidered on felt, cut out and glued in place to give a dimensional appearance, and each flower has a crystal heat-set in the center. It’s a happy, quilted and embroidered project that will hang over my living-room couch. Please forward to Chantell and thank you both for this design.
Until next time,
Laura
I love how Laura added the raised flowers! They change a nice wall quilt into an Art quilt!
FINISHED !!!!! Still not sure if I will make a pillow or frame it. For my first attempt I am pretty happy with it and first time really doing design positioning. I usually just place fabric and hope it works. I do have a new Husqvarna Designer RUBY 90 that I have never truly put to use so actually used it to move the design in the machine for the last three designs. So thank you for helping me keep my brain active in these days. I wondered if you could take a quick look and see if the first two are lined up as much as they should be? I was so intimated doing them and wasn’t really sure what I was doing – lol – and one more question what stabilizer do you use? I thought I had read “tear away” and I used that but not sure it was strong enough. I usually use a poly-mesh? and just leave it in the design? am wondering as certainly by the end of the tail I have puckering ? I wouldn’t ask you so many questions except I think I will try another one and maybe use your idea of mirroring for pillows ! Thank you again for your patience and your responses – for sure am telling both my embroidery groups of how helpful you have been. Have a blessed Easter weekend, Sharon
I’ve posted all of Sharon’s questions because i think a lot of us have questions like these on new designs. I’ll answer for the stabilizer. I would recommend a medium tear away sticky stabilizer. I started using this after i had done this design and i love it for so many things. I use the Weidner brand. Suz
