360367You are so inventive.. love them both, applique adds another dimension.. Marian
459173770Carolyn I like it as much both ways. It's beautiful any way you look at it. Don't you think so?/Lillian
1457891110873290hmmm, hard to choose, both are lovely. Think I prefer the straight embroidery though. Nice work.
11700109I like the designs both ways, but I like the embroidery alone slightly better.
1562610909Lovely design. I like it both ways so can't choose. Great you thought to try applique as well as just embroider. Hugs Shirley
52676Expertly done. Prefer the applique set but both are beautiful. I think the designs are from the Anita Goodesign line - Christmas Cutwork. Great idea to use in another way!

29801I like #3 the best also. Both are lovely, but like to see the stitched detail. Good job!
35675Love the design on picture #3! Well done, Carolyn.
Hugs, Lidia
78092They are Stunning either way...Well done!!!Although the Applique stands out...

46645That's a hard call...do i have to choose? In that case I'll take one of each! :P
35301Good morning Carolyn, well I'm a lover of applique as you know, but in this instance I feel the lightness and simplicity of the plainer design stands out more. Anyhow, both look fabulous - you rock girl! Love Chris
234253Love them both...I think together they would make a wonderful set...

85867they are both lovely but the one in picture 3 is quite striking on it's own!~~hugs~~
299557Love them both with applique you can be selective to more colorful options right down to shinny stuff. Just embroidery is simple has it's beauty as more lace tone. I am surprised you did not have one with variegated thread.
86901I like them both, but am probably too lazy to fiddle with applique version. I might have to get one of those fancy large hoops so I can do this too!
33640Oh Carolyn, both are lovely! I'm a tad partial to the embroidery version as I love the simplicity of it. That said - both are wonderful gifts.
415511WOW what a choice... they are both lovely and I do love applique... If I had seen both and was told now you have to do one also.. I would make a combination. applique the leaves and have the un-appl on the bells. Always enjoy your posts..BTW like the towels you have them on also..
6573I like them either way......each has their own uniqueness.....

217491Without fabric definitely. Aren't we all full of opinions, and all different! Give one to your friend that likes applique and the other to the friend who likes stitching!
Few ducks at my pond this year. I think because it waited late and got suddenly sooo cold, they pressed onward without lingering.

51302I like them both. It would be hard for me to decide which one I like better. Good job.
109762I like this design period! Does it fit a 5x7 hoop? If so where did you find it?
When I first looked at it, I was drawn to the applique... :)

253102Beautiful design and work. My applique never suits me. Problem with the cutting. And I love the open embroidery anyhow.
105501026Both are lovely! My favourite would be the open embroidery work.
1877They are both beautiful,for my part I like the embroidery better it is more airy, and I 'm still affread when I cut around the piece You did a good job
