BFC Creations – Where Thread comes to life!
Happy New Year to you and yours! I wanted to share a photo of my last, big project of 2021, and I do mean big, at least in stitches. After adding up the stitches in the large size design, [for the 150×240 hoop] ,I believe the total was on the far side of 190,000 stitches. What a way to end the year. Thank you again for your help in resolving the issue of the missing whiskers. I look forward to the new year and stitching more of your excellent designs. Blessing upon you, Laura
I was very much into beading before I started machine Embroidery. I thought I would show you some of my necklaces – you can see where I started incorporating Free Standing Lace Embroidery into my beadwork! Experiment with combining crafts you love.
Beads are easy because there are so many ways to add beads to your embroidery. You can go all out as I did below and make jewelry from your embroidered Free Standing Lace Medallions, or dot beads (sew them or glue them) around a fantasy embroidery to add sparkle to the sky or ground or add to the characters costumes. Add fringe at the bottom of a wall hanging with beads the colors in the embroidery.
If you like yarn, this too can be incorporated. You can crochet or braid a necklace cord for a medallion. Add fringe to a wall hanging – with or without beads. Cut small pieces of appropriate fluffy fibers to add to the landscape of an embroidery. Outline by couching an appropriate fiber or yarn around elements in the picture.
Hi Suz,
I finally got this done for my friend at the breast center. They have helped guide three of my nurses through their chemo/radiation for breast cancer. I work with all of their surgical patients. This is a gift to the surgical coordinator in the breast center. I do not know if she will use it in her office but suspect she will. I put a few crystals on the bras. I am new to crystals so that was the scary part but it worked. As always, thank you for the beautiful designs.

Hi Suz – please find pictures attached of how I used the christmas cactus design – I love it! This is a gift for a colleague who loves growing cacti and succulents.
Kind Regards. Susan
This is so cute Susan!!! Embroidery Hoops make great frames for embroidery. They come in all styles and sizes – from plastic to wood, to metal and more. They also come in all colors. I was amazed at what is available now when i last went to look for one! 
I love the way Genene finishes all of her work but I especially love this design with it’s frame. The matting and frame really add to the whole picture!
From Kathleen:
All the threads all snug in their beds. Love this brand so glad I purchased. Just had to show you.

THOUGHT YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS PICTURE OF YOUR DESIGNS SURROUNDED BY KONA BAY KOI FISH. THE BLUE CHINESE COIN FABRIC WAS USED ON THE BACK. THE PIECE WAS QUILTED WITH METALLIC THREAD AND RHINESTONES WERE ADDED FOR THE EYES.
I LOVE YOUR PATTERNS AND USE THEM OFTEN.
THANKS FOR YOUR CREATIVITY.

Hi Suz,
Of course you may post anything of mine you like on your stash gallery.
I have used your fibers in two of my quilts. The first was Twin Peaks where I made grass along the roadway. The other is Bernal Park, which you have seen recently. I will add these two to this email.
My next project is a seascape, so I won’t need more fibers yet, but I do intend to keep experimenting with eyelash yarn….and you have such a great collection in your stash I will be back to purchase more.
Thank you for your kind words and attention to my work.
Joanie
