Pat’s Dragon

Hi Suz, attached are 2 pictures of the Dragon I completed recently, for the wall hanging competition.  It was a test stitch initially which I made into a wall hanging and gave to my husband who adores my creative work.

I’ve stitched out the file for commercial machines, I have a Janome MB4, but needed to reduce it and rotate slightly to fit my 200 x 240 mm hoop.  As always it stitched out beautifully.  I’ve used quilting cotton, Lonnie Rossi designs for Andover Fabrics from the Paint Box Range through out.  The centre fabric is pink with gold embossed Gingko Biloba leaves in the background. There is a peeper in a colour to match the tan design around the dragon’s tail then a gold and tan fabric as a 2 inch border.  I’ve used a black for the binding, the rope hanger and tassels.

I’m so pleased with the result as is my husband, he took the semi finished hanging to a group he belongs to and I ended up with orders for the design from other quilters.  I will attempt the large design next so I can play with placement and split designs.  Still not really confident with putting split designs together LOL.

Sunny’s Geishas

I have Soooo many of your designs, Suz, and I just want to tell you (again) how much I love your art and digitizing.  Just HAD to download the three dance masks today and when I looked, I have at least two other folders of masks from you!  We collect masks, and we have some from every country we’ve visited – Fiji, Costa Rica, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico – I just counted – 13!  Of course Ron had the final decision, so no wall hangings for me, just masks.  However, in my Woman Cave (spare bedroom), I do have four wall hangings – one of Geishas you designed (and the back has your Samurai Warriors!

Beautiful job Sunny!  I love that this is hanging in your Woman Cave 🙂  Suz

I usually put a link to a set used, but I thought those of you that like Geisha Artwork might like to see all of our geishas:

Judy’s Oriental Handbag

So excited to be able to share your wonderful designs for all to see.  I am submitting my “variation” of your Chinese Handbag.  As I wanted a larger tote style bag, I adapted these designs for a tote that was my own pattern.  I actually used batting under the designs and really like the look.  The layout was slightly different to get the effect I wanted and used this design for the large front pocket.  I also used a combination of folding the fabric back on one side but left the other one open flat in order to sew the inside parts together.  The pocket has a magnetic snap as does the tote itself.  I used a medium weight linen for the main sections with additional padding between the tote and the lining.  The lining is a batik cotton.  There are 5 sections within the bag, which don’t show up too well in the photo.  The embroidery thread is poly.  The only thing I would do different is add an inside zipper!  Judy

I love what you did with it!!!!  It’s so much fun for me to see where designs can go and become…Suz

Phyllis’s Japanese Garden Art Quilt

Here is my quilting contest entry. I used design BFC 1032 Japanese Fantasy Garden Art Quilt. I did alter the size of a few of the designs. I added a bridge I put together to go over the water. I used aquarium gravel for my rocks and small beads for my flowers. My effort does not do the design justice – but it is what it is.

This was my first attempt at top quilting. I did find out that it does not work well with your embroidery foot. LOL

Joan’s Chinese Indigo

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.

Laura’s Cranes

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!

Laura’s Bonsai

From Linda:

Bonsai!!!  It’s just such a fun word to say, and stitch.  Here’s my latest wall hanging from your wonderful designs.  As you can see, the tree in the bowl with the flowers is a combo of two of your designs.  It turned out well, however, it took awhile to do since it had 50 color changes!  Hope all is well and, again, thanks for the designs.

Your wall hanging is absolutely beautiful Laura!  Thank you.  Suz
