‘s Wild Rose Handbag

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

Kay’s Vest and Handbag

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

Sue’s Floral Expressions

I just picked this up from the framer and am very happy with how it turned out! Floral Expressions #1, the largest size.😳 Completing a design such as this is not easy and though it’s not perfect, it deserves to be framed! Babylock Meridian really came through for me as IQ positioning was very helpful.  Sue

Second Photo:   Framed to match a prior piece I posted, this one is designed to look like a tiling scene upon completion. Through an intricate process of stitching individual squares and realigning the background fabric with each new tile, the process requires both precision, patience and time. This one has 9 tiles. 😳 Completing a design such as this is not easy and though it’s not perfect, it deserves to be framed!

 

Elizabeth’s Quilt

Hello Sue,

Just thought I would email you a couple of pics of my quilt, using your wonderful designs.  I am a friend of Vicki Purnell, she only lives a good stones throw from me.  I have made several of her wonderful quilts, using your designs.  The fabric is mostly batik, unfortunately I cannot remember the particular name of it.  Something like Lemon………..?  It has been waiting to be quilted for quite a while and I finally got around to doing it a couple of weeks ago.

Bye for now, & thank you for being so generous with your designs.

Faye’s great idea

Hello Suz,

Attached is a picture of candle wraps, sewn on tulle, that I made using designs from your 13th Anniversary set in 2016.  They are perfect  for this idea for stitching on tulle because they are fill stitches.

They look great Faye and such an easy but unique gift! Suz
