My sister sent a picture of this to my hubby and told him to show it to me. She knows that I used to love making a lot of FSL. I told him to ask her how many she wanted. LOL This is stitched on Organza, and I did not have one thread break and back looks as good as the front. Design is by Embroidery Library

Had request for colored pumpkins. I made 2 of the teal - one was for me!
and the purple was a request from my little 5-year-old great-granddaughter. I forgot all about it, and she asked me on Halloween if I had finished her pumpkin. Needless to say, I hopped right on it, and gave it to her when we went down to have a Halloween dinner she helped prepare.

Birds of a feather flock together----we have same idea's. Recycle curtains.

This is beautiful work, I made one too. How did you get your edges so neat? I'm having trouble with mine. Thank you for any help.

I finger press after I wash out the wash away (I use Vilene). But they also say to give it a light press if it seems to pucker.

Fabulous stitchout!

Did you have any pokies on the outer edge?

Ohhh, so pretty!

Awesome job and lovely design.

Lovely...great job!

Beautiful! What size is it, 7 x 9 maybe? I take...lol Gorgeous, I admire anyone who can make FSL. Not my strong suit, for sure. What will you do with it? I mean will you sew it onto something else or use it as is, like a doily if big enough..

Good Guess, Toogie. It actually measures 8-1/2 x 6-3/4. It is meant to be a doily. I made myself and daughter a tiffany blue one. Most likely I will mount mine. I do love to do FSL lace, but since being with the little ones so much I am more into doing things for them now. And they love birthday shirts for each year. I only have to do for 4 of them, for younger daughter does for the 4 grands she has, and the 4 foster children her daughter has.

It's gorgeous. Hoping she's as pleased as we are!
