This bowl was a challenge for me. After stitching it out I had a terrible time putting it together. I was never good at puzzles, and this really proved a puzzle to me. This was very pretty, and my daughter asked for it. Guess I will have to try another one now. This, by the way, is a freebie at SueBox Embroidery.

Wow - brought to the top again. This was given to my daughter two years ago, and she has it in her glass curio along with her collection of depression glass. Those of you wanting to try this, please make sure that you download the instructions. It saved me from mistakes, I know.

It's beautiful! But, I must admit it loooks confusing to me, as well. Congratulations on figuring it out and making a lovely bowl!

Ahhhhhh Dionna, You did this one too, good job! I didn't find it too hard to attach and drying was pretty easy if you force it onto an upside down bowl to dry. Funny but I too did mine in the same color that I call Antique.

Ahhhhh Dlonna, You did this as well, great job. Actually if you wash it then just force down onto a bowl of this size it will dry beautifully, it did for me anyway... Funny but I too did mine in the same color that I call antique.

I stitched out that design as one of my first FSL projects. I stitched out 6 panels and made a doily instead of the bowl. The bowl makes a lovely easter basket.

Hi Sam, Following is the link http://www.suebox.com/. This bowl is on the home page just scroll down and you will see it and the download button. Sue also has other freebies within her design pages, you need to go to each design page and scroll down to find the freebie. The instructions are part of the download. You need a water soluable stabilizer (WSS) to embroider FSL (free standing lace) on. Hope this helps.
Cheers, Claire

TYVM... I fig-out what I was doing wrong! It's such a beautiful design... I got it now!!! he he he... This will be my first FSL design to try out... Also, What makes it so stiff? Do U have to starch it? or is it stiff on its own? Again, TYVM...

Absolutely beautiful! I really want to try this kind of embroidery, but haven't got up the courage yet. It really does look like a puzzle and a beautiful one at that. I'm not sure about the flowers, but I would be happy to give you some also. Great Job, Mary

Hi Mary to give someone a flower for their project or design all you need to do is left click with your mouse on the flower, when its colour changes to orange (and the count should increase too) you have given them a flower! Cheers, Claire

cuddlebear by cuddlebear 18 Apr 2009

Oops the colour changes from orange to grey...sorry about the confusion.

Check your Email - I did it by hand. It takes 5 sections. Start at the bottom, and follow the instructions at the recommended join areas.

dlonna, this is wonderful - I have this design and knew that you had to stitch out three of the one design and wondered how it went together - thanks for trying it out - any hints or help with the contruction? Hehehe! Now, you make one for yourself - because your daughter has this one and she will treasure it. *4U

I did it by hand. Did one section upside down, and had to take out. I think that it was five sections. Start at the bottom, and you only join at certain points. I think that I went back to the site and downloaded the directions - I sure needed them!

lorettag28 by lorettag28 29 Mar 2008

dlonna, I have this, too. Where are the directions at on the site?
