As promised, here are my digitised and embroidered pictures of my dogs - left to right Beamer (pedigree Large Munsterlander), Poppy (cross-breed) and Scully (another cross-breed.) They're separate embroideries and I shall be framing them as pictures for the wall as I'm very happy with the results. They've taken a total of 10 hours to draw, digitise and embroider - now I really ought to do some housework! :-)

fantastic job dianned. I don't remember welcoming you to cute fmly. We r glad to have you *4U on a job well done

Lovely job you did on them. I would definetely frame and hang them too. I want someday to get my bike digitized and my two kitties. *4U ><>

I love you puppies and I love your work
worth the time you put into them
***********************

These are wonderful!! You have a great 4 legged family. You have caught their likeness very well. How long have you been digitising? You do really beautiful work. *4U Sue

I have the Janome Customiser Easy Import which came with my (second-hand) machine. It's not too sophisticated so it's also not too difficult to use, which suits me fine at the moment! Once I have the drawing reduced to an outline of all the different colour blocks - that's the bit that takes the time - it's just a case of choosing colours and stitches. I'm still having problems with outlines, I don't know whether that's me or the software!

Dianne, how did you learn to digitize so well? Do you like your software? These dogs came out adorable!!! Nice job.

They are so cute

wow 10 hours! but look at the finished product. A masterpiece! Love it Shirl

oppps I mean dianne, Shirl must have been on my mind.... Great Job Di

Dianne, very good work - you have a knack for this - drawing and digitizing. *4U

Truly XLNT! hugs n roses, M

Great job! I have 3 granddogs. Two of which are cross breeds. I really have to learn how to do this! Thanks for sharing.

oh dianne they are gorgeous! well done, you deserve a bunch of flowers

Dianne, You are turning out beautiful work.

bravo for you, they look great, I especially like the "cross-breed" instead of mutt. You can tell they are loved and being 'mom' to 8 cats I know how they grab your heart. Cudos for a job well done.

This is a job well done, they look so life like.

LOL-on the housework.....it'll still be there tomorrow. Great job!
