My hazel has been flowering for 2 months now. I took a picture and digitised this cross stitch design and made a cover for a small notebook (again).

I used 5D Pro, but know that Embird works great too -even has some extras like the stitches Suedewsbury used for her Hardanger type design.

I am going to buy either masterworks or 5D suite. Do you like yours, is it easy to understand?

I mostly use Embird. I hate the consumer-friendly wizards in 5D, I just want to do things my way, but the cross stitch module works great.
67the flower is super . iam new to mashine embroidery and love to know how to make a notebook cover,so i could put some of the great designs that we get from all our great cutie friends
285You are such a talented woman. A fantastic job in making the cross stitch design from the picture. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
13250What a beautiful rendition of such a gorgeous flower. I have never seen one. Are they a tropical plant? I got to look this one up....

Wow I just googled it and learned so much. Not tropical at all. Difference than the Hazel tree which has the nuts I love especially when covered in chocolate and the Witch-Hazel plant. I had never seen one and never knew all the medicinal powers it has. It is hard to imagine a seed popping open and throwing it 33ft into the air. Does it get noisy when they do that? Thank you Martine for sending me on the search.

It gets nuts, but as there are no bees around yet (too cold) and they are near the end of the flowering period it may be just a few, just a s last year and the occasional squirrel might get them first.

360635Love seeing your x itch and what you scratch from it, this is beautiful. I love your close up of the hazel. Actually if worked with the plant you have here is for itches,sore musles, amoung other ailments I could list. I have this one on my want list. Hubby says I got too many bushes the way it is. So I will sneak one where he don't pay attention.
86901The cross-stitch is lovely. How blessed you are to live with so many flowers!
Just FYI -- I see 2 pictures. One of the Hazel and one cross-stitch.
