Hey, Cuties. I copied Sue's idea and went crazy with it. I love it. Sue, I hope you don't mind, (hope I'm not stepping out of bounds). I used regular cotton fabric with some iron on stablizer. The design is from "Purley Gates" Mylar Penguin designs and my recycled CD. I have a plethora of used CD's and ideas to go with it. Thanks Sue. Hugs & Stitches, Liz

Sue Dewsberry put the design for the circle. I did my own design that is from "Pruely Gates" Penguin collection and added a cord to hang it with. Look around it is close to the top. Thanks for looking. Hugs & Stitches, Liz

That is only the text the CD design is elsewhere. I'll find it and bring it to the top.

Thank you! I had to be very careful when cutting close to the ribbon (for hanging) so that I didn't cut into it. Thanks for looking.

Don't be afraid. There is quite a big gap between the CD and the stitching! I'm wondering about a design that stitches in the hole in the middle as well.

I have not been game to try this as afraid that the needle might hit the CD but maybe I can get brave and have a go.. They look so great. Hugs Joyce

eteaff by eteaff 27 Sep 2012

I was afraid also with the first one but it didn't even come close to the CD. Try it. I think these are going to be my Christmas Cards this year. I have many designs to use. LOL

is there much wiggle room when it sews around the cd?

loosie by loosie 26 Sep 2012

good question, I fear to try it this way, my machine is only 5x7 hoop and I think it's not large enough for this design. :(

eteaff by eteaff 26 Sep 2012

It does fit the 5x7 hoop thats what I used on my Baby Lock 6 needle embroidery machine. About 1/8" all the way around is all the wiggle room there is. I was a little affraid when it started out but it sewed out fine. Hugs & Stitches, Liz

eteaff by eteaff 27 Sep 2012

I am going to try to sew it out on my regular embroidery machine and see how it works. I'll let you know.

spendlove by spendlove 27 Sep 2012

There is quite a big gap between the CD and the stitching line - don't be afraid!

loosie by loosie 27 Sep 2012

Okay I'll be brave and give it a gooooooo :)

eteaff by eteaff 29 Sep 2012

It does work out just fine. Thanks for looking

It is certainly worth the stress of waiting for the machine to stitch around the CD.

Thank you! It was a little scary letting the machine stitch around the CD the first time. I kinda held my breath and covered my eyes. Hugs & Stitches, Liz

I don't think you are out of bounds at all. After all, Sue posted in DBC "Stitch any design you fancy using". You did. It's cute. ;)
