Laura’s Iris Fields

Howdy!  Happy Spring-ish. It’s 60 plus degrees in Indiana today, and supposed to snow next week.  I always feel really sad for all the early blooming flowers this time of year, ’cause you never know if they will make it to real spring or freeze trying.  With all that said, I want to show you a picture of Spring that we don’t ever have to worry about.  Thank you for your beautiful IRIS FIELDS.  The only liberty I took outside of your color list was to use a variegated green in place of the  Light Lime.  I really like how it turned out.  It reminds me of fresh cut lawn grass.  I hope you approve.  Thanks again,

Tzu’s Kentucky Triptych

I’m happy to say Im finished and even with my boo boo’s I absolutely love it ! my learning curve has taught me several things for my next one . Oh and while Im no where near y’alls level 2 things that greatly helped me and I quickly figured out was 1 while sewing panels of all embroidery together was to use quilting gloves the grip you get is fantastic and it never hurts the embroidery at all making feeding it to your machine a breeze , # 2 while my feed dogs and foot worked together the grip of my foot seemed to ever so slightly misalign my pieces from bottom panel well a teflon foot ( I know supposed to be for leather lol ) stopped all the misalignment hope this helps someone 😉 . Here is my version of Kentucky Triptyc

Great suggestion Tzu!  I’m trying this the next – I have a pair of gloves I never use. 🙂 Suz

Tzu’s version of Kentucky Triptych (with great hint)

Tzu has not only come up with a beautiful version of this design but also given us a great hint for all designs that require stitching together.  Fantastic!  I’m going to use this next time – I always have at least one seam that no matter how hard I try gets a little bit *off*.

Kelly Jean’s Peacock

Hi Suz, Good afternoon.

Your designs are just amazing!! I am sending a picture (as promised) of the Tiffany Peacock, sorry the picture isn’t better I think I am getting a glare off the lake.  As I mentioned earlier, you can see the colours are spot on if compared with the actual stained glass.  I am very pleased with how it turned out, and this one is just for me. Friends and family see what I have done and now they all want one.  I have also found that working on the designs (and e mails back and forth with you) I have also learned more.

Thanks so Much Suz, have a great day.

Gorgeous Kelly Jean!
