Thank you. Yes it is the same as my profile picture. I have made these tulips in a lot of different colours. As the flower heads are in a base colour and then a shade above, there are almost no limits to the choice of colours.

Thank you. They are - as many of the designs I embroider - from Pfaff. The tulips are from Pfaff sample card no 300.

Hi, thank you. You can see a little about flax below, but it is obvious called linen in english. I think our linen/ flax is more coarse than the one used in US. But anyway it is a lovely natural fabric, that is wonderful to wear in the summer, but it tends to get a lot of wrinkles, but it has a very unic casual look that you dont get from anything else.

Thank you. Actually it is you who inspired me to do flower-designs. I have decidede that I will make a quilt of similar designs. And for me that is going to be flowers on flax. Flax is one of my favourite fabrics and I like the contrast between the fabric and the sheen thread. A flower for you too.

I am unfamililar with "flax" - is it something like our linen? Very pretty - I too am planning a quilt with flowers - but am trying applique. Keep up the sewing.

Hi. Flax is a natural fabric a bit like cotton, but often more coarse. Its made from a plant thats called Hør in danish, Flachs or Lein in german and I think Linum in Latin. It is very nice to wear in summer, it does crinkle a lot, but it is so beatiful anyway and nice to touch.

Thank you. I have made these Tulips several times and always in different colours. It is fun to see how one design turns out when you just change colours. An orange flower for you aswell.
