This is my first attempt at digitising cutwork. In fact it's the first time I've even embroidered cutwork and I love the end result. My only problem is impatience, I was in too much of a hurry for it to dry so I ironed it dry and flattened all the stitching. DOH!!!! It may come good next time I wash it. :-)
Thanks for peeking, hugs n roses, Meganne

Beautiful. These would make great accents for a wedding reception. Could use on the table to add a flair of color! Keep up the great work.

Aaaa yes, but I did this using Xpressive, which I have been learning to use.
I'm going back further, learning to manual punch as it gives much more control over the work. I have been doing online seminars with Bernadette Griffith, who is a Master Educator for Janome. She is also the moderator for our Elna Yahoo Group, so it's a fun catch up time for all us gals, as well as learning the finer points of Xpressive. It seemed such a waste having such a powerful (& expensive) program and not using it, now that I am I am amazed at how easy it really is, I just needed someone to show me because the instruction manual is written in pig Latin or double Dutch, or something equally unfathomable. LOLOLOL!!!!

Great job Meg, just remember you can use your hair drying for drying work like this - might not be as fast as an iron - but it doesn't flatten the stitching.

Great idea Shirlene
Great idea Shirlene but not advisable at 3:00 AM when everyone else is sleeping and I should have been. LOL!!!!

Great job! I'd never guess this is your first attempt at cutwork (digitizing and/or embroidering) Wow, Meganne, you're amazing! *4all

Meg, this looks fantastic. I love the elegant look of this sort of work. I love the simplicity of the pattern and you've done a great job in digitising it.
I can just see it on your lovely desk in the back room. Love Chris

you've done a really wonderful job on this. It looks great. but I have to disagree with you... You DO have patience. Anyone who can sit still long enough to cut out each one of those tiny little pieces, with such precision must have a lot of patience. Such a cute design, and I like the color combo as well. thanks for showing us your work.

What a delightful cutwork design you've done,Meganne. Perhaps could put it in a sunny window or use an embossing gun to dry the project. Thanks for sharing your work & hope you'll continue more digitizing.:~D

You make really beautiful job of digitizing all those different works. Perhaps you love some more digitize than embroider???
You are excellent in both

Very nice job, looks great. Thank you for sharing.
Tip-next time you might want to try placing it face down on a towel, then iron it. Happy Stitching :~)
