BFC Creations – Where Thread comes to life!
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
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
