Hi all,

Thought I would share my art piece with you all. It took about 4hrs of cutting, positioning,19 different colours & embroidering on my "Old Girl" Freehand Embroidery Machine I told you about before... (the Tiger Head I did).
Anyway, I hope you like it & I hope it goes in the Project, just have to get the address to send it over.
Don't ask for a pattern as I made it up from fabric base, as seen in 1st photo when I just started with the blue. I did all by freehand on my machine including the tiny flowers, words & hearts. You can see the final result in & out of the hoop below.
Reggie

It is beautifull, love the colours. Not the pattern I want just how you worked it. Did you cut out pieces from fabrics for the patterns and were these embroidered over and left in the design.

I cut 3 pieces of fabric that had designs printed, then placed them on the background fabric with iron-on. I basically used similar colours from the print & embroidered over the top of the whole lot... like colouring in.

It used to be the "ONLY" way to embroider on a machine (this one is a special industrial machine just for the old work) before computers took over. I have heard that some people do it on a straight sewer, I did do some when I first started out 27yrs ago, but then got to learn at the embroidery business that I did artwork for. I left there & found a machine advertised in the paper & decided to buy it... best $400 I ever spent!!! I, at that time only really knew how to do script writing, I basically taught myself from there.
