UPDATE. I know a lot of you have been wondering what has been happening to my designs in recent months. First, I decided to "retire" so as not to have any income tax forms to fill in. That means there will be no more of my designs on Yoriko's sites. Ho
I've been experimenting with organza flowers again. This is my own design (for the J-club ladies.) The experimental part is the construction of the flower. For the one in the close up, I had a bead at the end of my stem wire. I put in a gathering thre
Zipped purse (my own) with vintage sewing design from Urban Threads. Just for fun! I made the second one using the test stitchout I had made of the design. It is a bit bigger but squarer - I had to adjust the purse design to fit!
It is time to start sharing pictures of the lovely cushions you have all received! I have mine but I can't take a picture until I buy a nice, new pad for it tomorrow. If anyone has not yet received their cushion, please send me an email or PM.
I don't normally get excited about flowers, but I've just noticed that I'm coming up to 88888 which, in old fashioned bingo callers language, would be five fat ladies!
Secret Santa updates. Two weeks into Advent and two weeks to go! I think most people should be sending their gift about now. I've sent mine and a few people have emailed me to say they have too. Would you like to post here if your gift has been dispatche

Well everyone it is now the shortest day of the year - the day the Secret Santa Gifts were timed to arrive. Now I did ask everyone to post a picture of the gift they received "in a thread I would start after 21st December". As some people took that as t
Another in the hoop rag doll. I managed to digitise my own face this time and fiddled with the outline to make the arms longer. Now I think the feet are too big and the arms are too thin! My family is growing by trial and error. I hope my next attempt wil
I've just had a quick look back and (nearly) counted up the designs I have posted in DBC since I began digitising at the beginning of the year. I can hardly believe it is possible! I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has made comments and sug
Secret Santa updates. I was on the point of knocking Secret Santa on the head due to the frustration of the Towel swap (we still have 7 sets of towels still to arrive.) However, today I received an email from a very sweet person (who shall remain nameless
Secret Santa hint thread #1 I have just sent out a message to the 90 people on my list. If you haven't received yours and should have please let me know! This is the first SS hint thread - please tell us what your favourite Christmas colour scheme is.
ITH Piano purse. I was testing a new design and I decided to try out a couple of construction ideas, including building in a lining. I was pleased with the new ideas (I'll start a thread in Community to explain them) but I need to work on the keyboard
Happy birthay Cute Embroidery! By my calculations, it is now 1st July in Australia. So let the unwrapping begin! Please post a picture of your gift in this thread.
Last night, I did a foolish thing. I offered a design in the projects section if people PMed me their email address. I have, so far, sent it 50 times! (I may not risk it again.) What has interested me though, is to analyse those requests. Most were ma
