Hi Everyone, I embroidered the above picture using a design from Creative Design Embroidery http://www.creativedesignembroidery.com/index.asp.
I made the design larger using my digitising program and it measured 200 x 275mm, it took approx 5 hours to embroider, and I used 3 layers of stabiliser due to the stitch count - but I think it was well worth it!!!
I gave it to Sheryl (Sherylac) today for her birthday on Sunday April 12 (Happy Birthday Sheryl!!).
Sorry about the reflection on the picture as the photo was taken outside and unfortunately the glass reflected the beautiful sunshine we experienced today in Brisbane.
Cheers, Claire
