Beautiful Anna Thanks to you and your DL for sharing it with us. Well I just left Hancocks (a fabric Store ) a little while ago I guess I have to make a trip back for rainbow organza . This makes the bookmark look like the Sun is rising . A well deserved flower for you.

The rainbow organza really gives it a special affect especially with the gold/orange at the top for the light.

I know you love fsl shirlene, its one of my favourites too but with organza I find it even looks nicer and its really easy to do. one only has to be a bit careful in trimming around the finished designs as to not cut any stitches. flower reciprocated

When you say two layers of wss do you mean. hoop wws and then the organza and then more wss on top? and then you sew the design

anna25775 by anna25775 06 Apr 2008

you got it sweetie, wws underneath organza and then again wss and hoop all three and stitch. never had any probs but best is you use the fabric type wss not the plastic type one, hope you understand what I mean. flower for you

joanie you could check for rainbow coloured organza at shops that sell deco stuff, thats where I actually bought mine, it came in a 3m packet. however it may also be available in fabric shops. its really wonderful cos it has all colours of rainbow-my design was not big enough but there is also blue and green shades in it. flower reciprocated

Thank you, I will have to check it out next time I'm around Fabricland/Wal-Mart

thanks loretta, I just hooped organza between two layers of wss and embroidered the design. then washed, dried and ironed using a towel on top of it (never iron directly on organza - you can end up with a nicely melted mess, I sadly know what I'm talking about lol) flowers for you
