BFC Creations – Where Thread comes to life!
Attached are 3 pictures of My Hummingbird and Hibiscus Purse. I really had fun making it and I didn’t realize that there was a contest on until after I finished it two days ago. I was really happy to see that the flower came out so realistic. I used a canvas fabric for the purse body and the lining is a red mixed fabric.(I cant think of the name of the fabric at the moment) My name is Jane Thank You
I made this for my Mum’s birthday as she loves all feminine things that are peachy/rose in colour. The bag fabric is a cream curtain-weight polyester, though gives the look of slubbed silk as the colours move with the light. It is lined with a range of pinks and florals from my stash that coordinate with the embroidery.
Great idea about using the various fabrics for the lining! That can add a lot of interest in the bag itself – make it more special! Suz
I have used the BFC 830 Passion Flower Bag Pattern and designs for my project.
My daughter gave me the pre-made vest for a gift. It is beautifully made and I thought that I could improve it by adding some beautiful machine embroidery to it.That year I was going to a patchwork retreat with lots of like-minded ladies. – Are you like me? Do you like to show off things that you make to people who appreciate the work that goes into it – not like showing my husband – or my work colleagues – even my patchwork friends – who back – even my patchwork friends – who back in 2009 weren’t into machine embroidery. So I decided to make a lovely bag and decorate the vest with the same designs. The colours of the Passion Flower designs were exactly what I had in mind. I must say it was a hit.
I purchased the “Passion Flower Bag” pattern and designs from Suz. I made the bag using cream and brown silk that I had bought from our dear friend Sylvia. The design stitched out beautifully on the silk and the pattern was excellent with very good instructions for making it. I then used the designs to embroider across the back of the vest and over the left shoulder. I was very happy with the finished project and always get a lot of comments when I wear it.
I LOVE this Kay! I wear vests all the time. this is a really stunning outfit. No wonder you get lots of comments! This is a great example of how the designs on our bags don.t have to be used only for bags! Suz
I used the Spring Bouquet Super Tote (BFC1165M) to make a knitting bag as a Christmas gift. The design was stitched on a cream linen and the bag is a purple faux suede. The tote lining and trims are also made from the cream linen.
Beautiful Carolyn! I love the pockets on the back and sides. Suz
I love hummingbirds so had to make this.
The brown batik I brought back from Bali this summer. The green blue batik looks to me like shadows in the branches and leaves of the trees
I made the handle longer so I could get it over my head and shoulder.
I have pockets all the way around inside. This is the first contest I have entered.
I love the colors you used 🙂 Suz
Hi Suz,Thought you might like to see what I did with a couple of your Art Deco ladies designs.
Cosmetic bag sets: a bucket bag with a complimentary pouch and east/west bag. I used a vector graphic to create the Art Deco border so that I could match up the 3 pieces into a set.
I’ll be using these as samples of the graphic digitizing in the embroidery software I’ll soon be teaching. Don’t worry, I didn’t touch the lady designs – they’re perfect as they are.
Suz, Here are some photos of the backpack I made. Thank you again for the sample design. The inside is lined with African fabric, I work as a Missionary there. Arlene
Great Job Arlene! And thank you for the wonderful work you do. Suz
Denise won the Crazy Quilt contest from the Year 2012. Here is her Entry:
Suz,
Here is my entry into the Crazy Quilt contest, I have used all the designs from BFC1179 plus 5 freebies, FBFC246, FBFC317, FBFC699, FBFC626, Classic monogram font border and BFC516-31.
I needed a new lunch kit and was originally going to make the bag as designed but then it evolved as I needed pockets for silver wear, napkins, salt and pepper and my wallet and keys. I wanted these to zip closed for security and i needed stretch pockets for my coffee and water bottle. I made it out of water proof outerwear fabric, embroidered and interlined it with super stable then lined it with another waterproof outerwear fabric. I am very pleased with the results. 
Last Christmas I made seven denim totes, each with a different Picasso Cat on each side, as Christmas gifts for my two daughters and grandchildren. Everyone loved them, and I was asked to make more. I have made three more as gifts and now I have one left for me!! I used black or brown heavy denim, webbing for handles and my family uses them for grocery totes. Here are two. I used Picsasso Kitten, BFC2203-09 on one side and the left Picasso Cat, BFC320671-02 on the other side. My youngest daughter brought hers to a Trader Joe’s store near where she lives here in Northern California and the entire staff ooh-ed and aah-ed at it! Kudos to Suz.
Sunny – I LOVE all your projects. They are always so professional looking. Suz

Thanks for offering a great sale tomorrow. As I was loading up my cart I came across these boots that I have never seen before. Gorgeous! I make little purses out of recycled denim jeans and Ultrasuede and the girls love the cowgirl boots.
