Great Bag Karen – perfect for the tow ladies – the Mermaid and the Model!

 

I’ve always had a soft place in my heart for this mermaid.  I did her in Dec, of 2003 – I started the website in Nov. of that year so I was still very new to all of this.  I remember how excited I was when I discovered I could make her tail sheer .  LOL  I was afraid someone would be offended so back then I added something about if they  would prefer, the tail could be stitched two or three times.

QIH Peacock Paisley Bag

From Michael:

“I’m working on you Paisley Peacock Bag for my wife.  Your pictures do not do justice to the beauty of the embroidery design.  Scan the embroidery rather than taking a photo.   BTW I gave you this tip a few years ago, so pardon the repetition.  (I remember Michael!  We could do the same with large images but everyone would complain about them loading so slow…Suz) If you blow up the jpeg you can see as much detail as you would with a magnifying glass.  As you can see, I need to practice my free motion satin stitching and need to remove more jump stitches.. Mostly I used Sulky equivalents of your colors, but I added metallic accents and the eye filaments are done with # 2243 green/purple/gold variegated thread.”
