Another design in the begonia series. I have had quite a few comments about the shading in my leaves and flowers, but there is no shading. The designs has only 5 colours, 3 green and 2 yellow, one for the flower itself, one for the outlines. The di
Jam jar covers. I needed a present for someone who gave me 3 buckets of plums and who is a great jam maker. So, just like Sue, I used the outline of the doily design and added some fruit designs - strawberries, cherries and of course plums (which I hav
Chris' biscornu inspired me to digitise a few more. This is the one I stitched out. I have yet to sew the parts together to a biscornu. I like to do that by hand and use a whipstitch through the straight stitch outline. I think that gives a crisper resul
Wisteria I had to stitch it out. It will end up as a(nother) bookcover.
No embroidery machine available until I'll be home again, but I did take my laptop with me. Took a picture of the sampler my daughter, then 11years old, made 30 years ago. It was done on even weave linen with 2 strands of DMC cotton embroidery floss. Bro
Valentine heart. I could not resist doing another one. I used 4 shades of red and pink, but it can be done in one colour as well - or in six .

Coaster Seeing all those mugrugs and doilies I had a go at one too. I like snowflakes. made one and went from there. The stitch count is fairly high, due to the satinstitches in the snowflake and the rope border. But there are no jumps so I cou
Jewellery roll. My husband bought me 5D Quilt for my birthday. First thing I did to try it out was to make a jewellery roll. The lining with several pockets was done on the sewing machine; quilting and putting it together ITH. I digitised th
Easter mugrug Sometime ago I digitised two designs for someone and as a thank you present I got amongst other things two mugrugs with the design on it. I was so happy with those gifts. I liked the general design of her mugrugs and digitised a nu
Latest addition to the menagerie.
Tiger. I'm making Sue's handpuupets for my GD and digitised a tiger to go with all the friendly animals.
Flowers of the Wind. I like the current series of freebies at Clipartoon and digitised #1 and #2. Here's #2. I used 3 shades of pink, it would look equally good in one colour (white on white for instance) or in brighter colours. Due to the man
Sue's December challenge I hope this was one of the freebies. Anyway this lovely design transformed a cheap fleece to something special. I wanted the penguin to be off-centre and walk into the fleece (size 110-116), but I should have been more rad
Cornflower alphabet Been playing with cornflower designs as you know, and decided to do an alphabet as well. Slow work at first, nice pace in the middle and then fighting boredom at the end. A design next to instead of on top of the letter would ha
