I have been playing around with Embird a bit today. Started with the pink flower and then proved to my self I could easily whip up a few more. Here is the result. The separate designs all fit the 4x4 hoop. What do think, worth testing?
17 May in Norway. I've seen lots and lots of beautiful traditional embroideries, enough to inspire me for a while.
For those who asked about the pattern for the cross stitch biscornu: it is now available on Yoriko's site.
Spring at last Still too cold but the sun is shining and I'm not the only one that likes it, the crocuses do too.

Enjoying the Norwegian summer - a tropical garden in a country you associate with skiing, polar ice, etc.
Today I spent 10 hours on the ferry from Hirtshals in Denmark to Stavanger in Norway. Had my latop with me and digitised the current free cliart by Clipartopolis: Bluework Noah's Ark. Here they are. I intend to use them as a colouring book for my grandda
Auto digitising vs manual digitising I read the question about manually punched. Being back home again I digitised one design by Clipartopolis 3 ways today to show the difference it can make in the end result. The first one is made in 5DExtr
I posted the complete flower alphabet. And added the links to my list of designs. I tested 7 of the 26 and as I had no problems I assumed the rest were OK too. Pleas do not put answers in the list, that way it stays compact.
I answered someone's digitisng question and made a small example of how I'd do it. I decided to play with the example and made (the beginning of) an alphabet. I did 10 so far and tested 3. They are 60 mm high. What do you think?
I'm confused. Since yesterday I can not get to Community on my laptop - I get the message Welcome to nginx - but I can on my iPad - as I'm doing now. What can be wrong?
Has anyone seen a nice little dragon, please? I've got a lot of animals, but no dragons. Thanks in advance.
Any one interested in testing an elephant gove puppet for me? I have no time to do it at the moment.
I uploaded two designs to Youembroidery, the Valentine giftcardholder and the LOVE design for a fast and easy card.
