A new begonia design. It is 160x110 mm or 6.32"x 4.34" and has 23825 stitches, so it needs good stabilising, I used two layers of tear-away.
Redwork revisited. I could not leave the design alone and added some colour. The pastels did not photograph so well in the late afternoon light, in real life the are a bit brighter and the background is white. leaving out all but the last colour gi
Teatowel. I hate wasting all those test stitchings, so I tried these out on a teatowel. These designs are for a 5x7 hoop. I found the 4x4 too small - the details don't have clean lines, but get sharp corners - but 5x7 is a bit too large. So I
Baby dress size 86 (1 yr) Another given remnant. I used a design I made a couple of years ago for another dress. It followed the neckline of the other one better as I designed it especially for that one - see picture 3
Baby pants from a given remnant. The pockets were lined in the hoop at the same time as stitching the embroidery. Best way to get both pockets the same shape.
Baby Girl Monsters. I digitised two more of the monsters. These are fun and easy to digitise and stitch out fairly fast as well.

#3 of the Begonia set and another Baby Girl Monster. I must say I like doing one complicated design followed by something easier. And even easier I played to make a variation of half the design.I bumped the machine at the very last moment and
Placemats. I bought two plain placemats in a clearance sale and put embroidering them on my to-do list. Seeing the tulips marie67 posted I remembered that I downloaded that tulip (a freebie) from the Husqvarna site in February 1999. I used it then

As a result of Loralye's challenge I finished a knitting UFO, the cable one. Then I started the blue self-striping one. My husband saw my renewed knitting enthousiasme and bought me a book that was also published in an English translation - Dutch Tra
holders for recorders. My children all started their music lessons with playing the recorder, late 70s, early 80s. One of my daughters asked me of I still had their recorders and here are 2 of the holders I made them. At the time I played with the
Begonia 2 Digitised the second one of the I Love Begonias set. It stitched out beautifully - no need to adjust anything. So that's 2 down, 8 to go.
Begonia variation I stitched out one of the variations I made. I might stitch out more and do a wall hanging. cfidl asked for swags and corners, so I tried those - see the software generated picture. In order to get a nice corner I rotated the t
