That is just so wonderful-I'm really excited by the possibilities of layers at the moment. Is there not a great deal of movement between the slippery layers of chiffon, organza and velvet?
Hi Sue! I now realise I should have recognised the lovely ATC you gave me at the NEC today. In all the excitement I didn't connect it to your post. Thank you, it's lovely and the embroidery is awesome. Please tell me it was a computer programme lol
Wow. This is just unbelievable, it looks like an antique leather book cover when you finished. I love it! I wonder... if I dare try it... thanks for the tutorial! Wow, look at the stitching though... I'm amazed.
You have a great blog, this is my first visit.. along with leaving a comment on one of your biker posts!

That is just so wonderful-I'm really excited by the possibilities of layers at the moment. Is there not a great deal of movement between the slippery layers of chiffon, organza and velvet?
How gorgeous is that? Did you embroider that by programme or sheer mastery of your machine? Wanna trade?!
Wow, wow, wow. This is wonderful from start to finish.
Blimey, that is just gorgeous!
This looks great! thanks for visiting & commenting on my blog.
Hi Sue! I now realise I should have recognised the lovely ATC you gave me at the NEC today. In all the excitement I didn't connect it to your post. Thank you, it's lovely and the embroidery is awesome. Please tell me it was a computer programme lol
Wow. This is just unbelievable, it looks like an antique leather book cover when you finished. I love it! I wonder... if I dare try it... thanks for the tutorial! Wow, look at the stitching though... I'm amazed.
