Marge’s Beautiful Heron

From Marge:

*Hi Suz,

Finally got the Herron put on a shirt.  I did do it on the nylon mesh and maybe some of the feathers didn’t come out quite right but I am happy with it.

I am always afraid to embroider right on a garment.  This shirt was a little pricey and I would have been upset if the design screwed up.  This way if I get tired of the shirt I can remove the embroidery and put it on something else.

Thought you would like to see it done this way.

I would never have guess this design came out so great using this method!  I’m in awe of some of your work Marge. 🙂  Suz

 

Jan’s Beautiful Work!

Jan has been a customer and friend for a long time.  I was so happy to hear from her on my Yahoo Group! She writes:

“Hi Suz,

I am still using many of your picture designs – love doing them.  This past 9 months has been a tough time for Marty and I.  He had 4 major cancer surgeries removing a kidney, tumor, bladder and prostate.  But after going through all this he is back in his pulpit preaching, helping with our golden retriever kennel and mowing 2 acres of lawn.  God has certainly blessed us and answered prayers.

Here are some pictures – mostly the older ones.  People who come to my studio just love them.

Jan ”

I think my favorite picture is to see Jan in her studio among her projects! Suz

Flamingos Anyone?

From Donna:

*No one else has designs as lovely as yours. I have many I have not done yet but here is one of my favorites.It is hanging in my kitchen right now. *

Thank you Donna! Your fabric frame really brings out the colors in the Flamingo Wall Hanging.  Beautiful!  I’m sure it really brightens up  your kitchen. ..Suz

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.”
