BFC Creations – Where Thread comes to life!
Attached is my entry in the contest. I love these 3 kids and when I was about their age we had a little black and white dog. I think that was one of the reasons I bought this. The little girl in the red dress is a close second.
Great picture Marge – I bet a lot of people could identify with the 3 kids:) No one did Christmas like Fred did 🙂 Suz
I want to thank you for giving us so many designs that when done they are breath taking. I have showed this one to so many people They cannot believe it was done on a sewing machine, also this was the very first large machine embroidery design and to be honest I thought it would be more than I could do I almost didn’t do it just because I was not a seasoned embroiderer. I am so glad I did. I get so much praise on this design. I have the last supper but when I purchased it I did not realize I couldn’t do it my machine will only go up to 100 color changes it also would not let me split the design so please ask Fred if he could possible work on that I know so many ladies that would purchase it.
Thank everyone for all they do we are truly blessed to get the quality we get. My all of you have a Blessed New Year

Beautiful Job Sandra 🙂 thanks for sharing with us…Suz
My name is Karen and the name of my design is (Fantasy Inland) The embellishments, Angelina Fiber, and Embroidery Glitter. All came from BFC-Creations. I wanted to put the sail boat in so I made a bridge for it. New Ideas came as I went along. I used cotton fabric. The sun was actually a freebie of the moon. I put embroidery glitter in the design and made it the sun. So many things a person can do with these grand free designs.
Fantastic Karen! Love how you used so many different things! Suz
Hi Suz, here is my entry for your current competition.
Thanks so much for running these, they are so much fun.

Description
Vase of flowers using lots of freebies, embroidered on muslin for an antique
look.
I used some left over lace pieces from my daughter in laws wedding gown for
the corners just to enhance the embroidery.
I framed it using foamboard and a frame picked up in a sale a few years ago.
WOW! – very impressive Carol! Suz
I made this table runner from a pattern called Simply a Pleasure by Nicole Chambers. Christmas is coming and gifts need to be made so thanks for all the Christmas freebies.

Great project Sandy – I love to see what you folks come up with using free designs…Suz
I wish to submit the following for consideration in the Quilting Contest you are sponsoring on the Yahoo Group. The work is “Wisteria” using BFC890 by the same name. This was embroidered on white cotton (Kona cotton from Robert Kaufman). It was finished with a purple batik for the borders, backing and binding. I also added a layer of DreamPoly as batting. There was light quilting with black thread at the borders of each embroidery block and around the final embroidery boundary and also light quilting of the final border to hold all layers together.
Unfortunately I no longer have this piece. It was donated to our local St. Vincent de Paul Society for their 150th Anniversary Gala for a silent auction which was two days after I finished the piece. I was lucky to get a good picture of it first! I’m going to have to stitch this one out again so I have one for myself (if I don’t donate that one to someone else).
I hope you eventually were able to do one of these for yourself martha – you did a gorgeous job! Suz
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
