First attempt at fsl and went pretty well. Thanks to all who helped. I hope to make more for the xmas tree. Lisa

These will be beautiful on your christmas tree. Good job &*4U

You made a very good first attempt quiltgrama.

Very nice....our tree has a lot of these too.

These are gorgeous. I did those plus a whole nativity scene in white for on my tree. Really show up nice. I got mine from embroidery library.

I love the fsl snowflakes, they are so much fun to make

They are real festive. Where did you get these designs? I've made some for Christmas cards over the years, new design every time, but am in need of fresh sets.*4U

They have made a wonderful work! From where is the design! Flowers for you

the designs are from embroidery Library.

aren't they lovely? I used the whole set as decoration in our livingroom window last Christmas. did them in white too but I like the idea of experimenting with metallics as dlonnahawkins said. I love fsl too - got bit addicted to it lol... but not as much as shirlene yet lol lol lol (no offense meant shirlene, I love your projects pls keep them coming!) well done sweetie *4u

What a brilliant first attempt! They look magic in white. I'm a little hesitant in attempting these, they look so difficult. *4u

oh sweetie do give it a try! all you need to do is hoop a layer (or two if you really want them hard) of wss - not the plastic type though - and stitch. then cut around designs and soak in warm water for a few seconds. leave to dry a bit on a towel and press - between towels to play it safe - on the WRONG side of the design. and viola you have it made. but beware you'll try it once and its likely that you become addicted lol *4u

Thankyou Anna, you make it sound so easy. It is on the agenda tomorrow to try.

I need to try this

These are beautiful. I like them in white - it is crisp and fresh. *4U

Beautiful! Very eye-catching!

quiltgrama, these are lovely and you are right the went pretty well indeed. Great job and you will enjoy them in whatever color or thread that you choose to do them in, too. If you want to stay with the white but want to dress them up a bit - you can put a really light layer of product from DecoArt called Craft Twinkles - I use the Crystal Cristal and it comes in a 2 oz bottle and there is plenty in that bottle to do all the ornaments on you tree and more for next year - use it very lightly and you will achieve great results. Have fun and make lots of them - you can even decorate your gifts under the tree with them or add them to your Christmas Cards or instead of CC all together - I love FSL - can you tell? Hehehe! *4U
