I also think it is wonderful to keep Vicki's love of digitizing and embroidery alive and well. I don't know what your hobby or business was before but you are on your way to a brand new experience. Well, done.
Looking good Jim...one thing I would suggest is that you look at your underlay on the flowers and make some tweaks to the push and pull of the stitches. There are a few small gaps that should be adjusted... The Toucan has what looks like a "travel" stitch running down the body. You might want to check the settings in the software to have it "Travel on Edge" to get rid of that run stitch down the center of the body. You are doing very well and so glad you are keeping Vicki's passion for digitizing going.
I agree that the flowers look great but the toucan needs tweaking. Thanks for sharing with us. Nan
I think the flowers turned out great. I am not sure about the Toucan. Something does not look right with the beak I think.
Most important is the fact that you are continuing to keep Vickies memory and site going. Hats off to you. You continue being in my prayers
