This design was intriguing to me, as I had not done FSL in multiple colors. Too, this did not have the center embroidery so had to stitch to linen. I thought it turned out pretty, but a little brighter than I had originally thought. The design was a freebie from Sadia's Designs @ www.sadiasews.com. Not really knowing how to put together I think that I must have stretched the design a little, for it did not want to lay flat. There are many uses for this design. Each section had 18,894 stitches, and I made 10 to complete the circle.

What great work. I understand that it was difficult to assemble the sections. Your colour are cheerful

This is nice. I had the design as well, should really set my machine to work.

Yes, get busy!

That turned out lovely. You cannot tell by the pic it doesn't lay flat. Did you spray starch it and then iron it flat? *4U ><>

oh my ldonna, this is wonderful - I love your color choices - sorry you had trouble with stitching it together - thank you for all the info on it, too. It really does make your realize how time comsuming it is, huh? It worked out rather well with the material in the center, too. How did you get it to lay down? Hehehe! *4U

I wet it and put a heavy box of books on top! That was about my third try.

A very cheery piece of work, bright & beautiful

Very colorful, & looks like a lot of work that turned out great. * 4U

What a lot of work! Turned out great though. Even better as a freebie. +1*

Just went to the site and realised that I already have it in my download collection! Maybe if I sat at the machine instead of the computer I may get some actually sewn out.

hehe... me too.

Beth, my dear, this is lovely. I think when a FSL design doesn't want to lay flat, you can hit it with a bit of steam and that helps some. I believe someone that knows about FSL told me that, once. HaHa A flower for you lovely bowl. Loretta

Wow! You did a great job. This did take some time and turned out lovely.
