Cornflower. I am working on a couple of blue placemats and designed a couple of summer flowers. Here's the cornflower. I used 4 shades of blue, but could not see the difference between 3 and 4 when stitched out, so I changed those two to just one
Flower-heart design on notebook cover. Test stitch of one of the designs I played with. The diagonal weave of the grey material (piece of an old trouser leg) made the curl look a bit irregular depending on the stitch direction, so I widened that pa
Bib Design for a neckline. I did not have a small T-shirt so used it on a bib. I can always add a name later.
Flower design. I used 7 petals per flower and it reminded me of clematis, hence the colour. I'm not too sure about the decorative stripes, I might shorten them or leave them out altogether. This too fits a 4x4 hoop.
Daisy This is the stitch-out of 1 of 7 designs I made yesterday. The picture does not show the effects the light has on the different stitch directions. I was amazed at how beautiful it looks in real life.
Flower I digitised yesterday's free clipart by Clipartoon, the 9th in the current series. One more and I can start my quilt. The design is available on Yoriko's site www.mygardened.com Although all elements of this design are diffe
Pencil case. I digitized a raw edge applique and stitched it on recycled denim. Added lines with my sewing machine to make it less bare. Which was quite a challenge as it turned out using my left foot on the pedal was not as easy as I expected it t
Logo on guest towel. One of my daughter's friends is raising money for a charity. She and a friend made their own website and logo and my daughter asked me to digitise the logo - to be stitched on sweatshirts and fleece jackets. I made the design
Pencil case. Had a few remnants in my stash that were just the right size for a pencil case. The colours reminded me of sand and sea, so I put a few boats on it. The line-art one I used before, added filled sails to add some colour.
Notebook cover (A6). Had do try a cross stitch design using part of the same clipart. Recycled jeans leg and another addition to my "gift drawer" was born.
Flowers of the wind Here are some more. I think I'll use them as quiltblocks, I've got some nice pink fabrics that would go nicely with it. You can find the designs on Yoriko's site.
Flowers of the Wind. I like the current series of freebies at Clipartoon and digitised #1 and #2. Here's #2. I used 3 shades of pink, it would look equally good in one colour (white on white for instance) or in brighter colours. Due to the man
Towel. Every summer an acquaintance of mine has a Chernobyl child stay a couple of weeks. And every year there's some other child that has a birthday and I'm always asked to embroider a towel. It had to be a tiger or lion, so I chose Katulle's l
Notebook cover Inspired by Sue I bought these buttons and used the first 5 of 150. Digitized and sewed the stem and leaves, added the buttons and a number of lines using stitches from my sewing machine. I'm quite pleased with the result.
Notebook (A6) covers. My favourite way to use tests and remnants - book covers for small notebooks. For the last one I digitised a simple boat to match the print on the linen.
