BFC Creations – Where Thread comes to life!
Hi, This is my Under the Sea Wall Hanging. I used designs from your Under the Sea Designs. I loved doing this and want to do another. I even have the background fabrics pieced together and want to use some of the other under the sea designs I purchased from you. I used mostly batiks for the background and other kinds of fabrics for the appliqué. I also used some fuzzy yarns and real shells for embellishments.
I think I like yours better than mine Donna! LOL Great job. Suz
These wall hangings are made from the BFC120 Undersea set. I was going to make a large wall hanging but things happen so made 2 small hangings and mounted them on canvas boards. The pieces were done separately and attached to the back ground when done.

I love groupings of things on walls so I think this is perfect! Suz
This is my Cardinal wallhanging that I did using your A Cardinal window designs. My 9 year old granddaughter requested a cardinal picture for her room because her elementary school mascot is a cardinal. I’ve stitched this design several times & framed it but decided to try a wallhanging for her.
First, I fused the black fairy frost “frame” onto the red fairy frost background. I stitched the blocks on white fairy frost then fused them onto the background using strips of fairy frost in white for the “window” frame. I sandwiched it with quilter’s fleece for batting & a black backing. Then I used free motion stippling around the red part with machine blanket stitching around the black frame & all of the white strips. Edges are bound with black fairy frost bias binding. There are triangles mounted withe binding at the corners in back that hold thin balsa strips horizontally across the top & bottom to keep it lying flat & taut. I chose this method because I know her little hands will be all over it & it’ll need laundering at some point. There’s also a label on the back with the name of the design, BFC as designer and my name as stitcher with the date. It mounts to the wall with the Command velcro strips balsa wood.
Pictures don’t show the sparkle of the fairy frost through the embroidery stitches very well, but it really turned out well & she loved it. Thanks so much for the designs & the contest!
Here is my lovely wall hanging that I did and have had so many compliments. The finished size is 29″ by 29″. I have a Pfaff Creative Sensation.
Beautiful Job Diana! I’m so glad friends have noted your work 🙂 Suz
I would like to submit my wall hanging for your contest. After many months it was finally done and hung in our parish Church during Lent..I didn’t mean it to when I showed it to our Parish Priest but he insisted. After many tries with trying to take a picture and not have a flash come up in the middle of each view, these are the best. Hope they turn out okay for submission.
I used ivory Linen on top, 1 layer of non-tear away for the stabilizer, and then put a layer of warm & natural over the stabilizer after I sewed on the borders of black velvet.
The frame is dark walnut and helps it all to come together.
Thank you for the joy I had in making this although I know it took me forever to complete
it. Well worth the effort.. Now I am excited to embroider the Assention.. I know I am
slow but at 80 years I guess it is just a way of life…at least I’m still kicking.
If these pictures are not coming through well enough to use, I can try to take them over.
Thank you everyone for all the pleasure and enjoyment you have given me since your
first email ,,,introducing yourselves as a new embroidery site wayyyyyyy back whennnnn.
Then you moved to Attleboro…Know it well …it’s almost in my back yard when I lived in Pawtucket,R.I. .
You did a beautiful job Betty – fantastic! I miss you Miss Boo 🙂 Suz
I finished my wall hanging last night. It is done with cats outlines and silhouettes. I stitched out the cats then planned my wall hanging using 9 patches and disappearing 9 patches. I had a charm package of animal print I had fun using that. I did quilt it in the ditch and put a hanger on it so I can put in on my wall.
So cute Paula! Great way to use the cats. Suz
Hi Suz, attached are 2 pictures of the Dragon I completed recently, for the wall hanging competition. It was a test stitch initially which I made into a wall hanging and gave to my husband who adores my creative work.
I’ve stitched out the file for commercial machines, I have a Janome MB4, but needed to reduce it and rotate slightly to fit my 200 x 240 mm hoop. As always it stitched out beautifully. I’ve used quilting cotton, Lonnie Rossi designs for Andover Fabrics from the Paint Box Range through out. The centre fabric is pink with gold embossed Gingko Biloba leaves in the background. There is a peeper in a colour to match the tan design around the dragon’s tail then a gold and tan fabric as a 2 inch border. I’ve used a black for the binding, the rope hanger and tassels.
I’m so pleased with the result as is my husband, he took the semi finished hanging to a group he belongs to and I ended up with orders for the design from other quilters. I will attempt the large design next so I can play with placement and split designs. Still not really confident with putting split designs together LOL.
Hope you have had a great day. Here is my wall hanging entry. It is BFC1065 Sally King’s Leaf Fairy. I so love Sally King’s designs, you all do such a fantastic job with them. Well, you all do a fantastic job on all of your design. So many great designs on your part and so little money on my part – lol. Thank you for all the contests.
Beautiful Job!!! this is one of my favorites too 🙂 Suz
I have found my Remembrance Day quilt that I made using your field of flowers and my husband’s original poem To A Fallen PeaceKeepers (Robert E. Kerr).
This was the first I had ever done and I would like to enter it in the quilting contest.
Here is my quilting contest entry. I used design BFC 1032 Japanese Fantasy Garden Art Quilt. I did alter the size of a few of the designs. I added a bridge I put together to go over the water. I used aquarium gravel for my rocks and small beads for my flowers. My effort does not do the design justice – but it is what it is.
This was my first attempt at top quilting. I did find out that it does not work well with your embroidery foot. LOL
