Colleen’s Graceful Vase

Hello Suz

Well I did complete the wall hanging of Graceful Vase.  Have to say that I really should have repeated the top six silk blocks too as they are very slightly narrower than the others which I completed on cotton.  Was very determined and from a distance it doesn’t look too bad, especially if the ‘looker’ is not an embroiderer or quilter.

Thanks for the help

Colleen –  I like the long rod – it balances the wall hanging really nicely.  Suz

Evelyn’s Cat Empress

Evelyn has stitched one of my favorite designs.  And I’m so impressed – she did this after a long illness and it’s her first design getting back to stitching.  All of her things are now in storage and she is in Arizona with her son.  She can’t wait to get more stitching done!! She’s already picked out her next pictures.  Thank you Evelyn and best wishes for your recovery.

From Donna:

*No one else has designs as lovely as yours. I have many I have not done yet but here is one of my favorites.It is hanging in my kitchen right now. *

Thank you Donna! Your fabric frame really brings out the colors in the Flamingo Wall Hanging.  Beautiful!  I’m sure it really brightens up  your kitchen. ..Suz

Beautiful Pictures…

Donna came across our BLOG recently and sent me photos of two of her projects.

The first is our Stained Glass Pheasant.  I love the way Donna used the small butterflies to make a top for the picture – it really gives it all a nice finish.

I’m going to hold off on posting Donna’s second project.  When I get a photo to post, I first find the set on the site so I can get the link, etc.  I couldn’t find it!  I thought it must not be in the right category.  Not remembering the name made it harder.  I enlisted Rick’s help and we looked at everything we could until something dawned on me.  I still had Donna’s history in our database so I looked up her purchases and immediate saw *A spring Afternoon*.  Yes – that’s the right set.  So back to the site – it’s not there!  So we had to start looking in our original site (we luckily saved everything from the old site – pictures, web pages, etc.).  We found it, but then found out it was actually 4 separate sets having different options!  This is going to take some figuring on how to add this to the new site!  We must have set it aside when we entered everything…that will teach us!!

Thanks Donna!!!

A very creative Stained Glass Wall Hanging

From Mary

“Here is the stained glass window i made with your stained glass birds

and butterflies.  The top is my own design.  I hope to sell it at a

craft sale.  I loved the designs.  Thank you for them.”

 

Wow – talk about creative!  Beautiful job Mary.  We have many sets of stained glass squares that this would work for.  The top can be made like Mary did or use pretty fabric that goes with the designs.

Hi – I purchased this set last year after getting the corner stone design free.  I finally got the time to stitch it out, so I thought I’d send you a picture of how it turned out.  I stitched it on white muslin overlaid with a gold organza.  I think it turned out beautiful!  Thank you for the design!  Jeannie

I love the Table Runner made with free designs – great job Jo Anne.  The Stained Glass came out beautifully too.  ……Suz
