This is a machine crochet cloth done in the hoop. It consists of one square which is repeated as many times as wanted then stitched together. I did not use embroidery thread but 80 watt polycotton. I couldn't get 50 watt so settled for the 80, the lower the number the thicker the cotton and then the bigger the square, I had done a few to see how they would come out with the different thicknesses of cotton.

it is very nice It must of took you a vile to do it.
A flower for you

I would gladly display this in my house... :-)

WOWWW! that is just lovely.. alot of time and work..just beautiful.. if you did that in enough pieces and put them together it would make an awesome bed topper over a flat color spread..wow, just beautiful

Very beautiful! It makes me remeber my grandmother's manual crochet. Thanks for sharing!

I like this, very nice, well done. Very time consuming, and lots and lots of thread. How was it to attach them all tgtr? *'s4U

Very nice, it is beautiful.

Well done, bigdee, it's lovely, hugs and a flower for you.

bigdee, is this a repeat or did I get so excited with this - that my comment went into cyberspace? I love this designs - I did want to know where you got it from? How long did it take to stitch these 15 different designs out? It is lovely. I love this sort of work - the very best. *4U

Hi Shirlene, no this is the first one, the 'other' one must be in cyberspace!! lol The design came from
www.advanced-embroidery-designs.com
they take about 20-30 minutes to stitch out and, I used to just set them up and go do something else and just listern when the machine stopped or had a thread break. I just loved this design and 'had' to have it.

bigdee, thank you - I love it and may have to follow you and getting it, too!

I crochet manually and this is wonderful. Congratulations. Really amazing. Flower and XoXo

Bigdee, Very pretty. Where did you get the design? I crochet and really appreciate machine crochet. ( I made 22 afghans for gifts this past Christmas ) . A bouquet of flowers for you.

Beautiful. Looks like the old time hand crochet ones. Nice work.
