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
