This is my version of the freebie at Suebox. I stitched it six times on organza and instead of a bowl made a doiley. Must admit I didn't quite enjoy putting the pieces together..... I hate handstitching lol

This is very pretty - I was wondering what it would look like if you put six together. The hand stitiching is for the birds! Wonder if you could you could use a tack bar stitch to stitch together by machine?

thanks for the compliment. I guess one could use the machine....... only problem with me is that I learnt to embroider before I learnt most of other machine functions so I'm ashamed to say I have no idea what the tack bar stitch is (and to make it worse my machine instruction book is in german which is not my mother language despite that I live in germany)

Tack = a zig zag of any width without any length.

thanks joanie, sometimes it seems I don't know the simplest of things, I never stop learning here :)

anna, I like it. It is very pretty and more than likely it is how I would end up doing it as well. A flower for your work. I like your color choice, too.

I know joanie, I had almost given it up after one piece but since I saw your bowl and you encouraged me to do go ahead I decided to do it. you had said you almost ended up with a doiley and since I had never done a doiley I thought how about this one! so thank you for the idea.... hope you don't mind me taking it,, wish I stitched it together by machine though lol.. bunch of flowers for you

thank you, its actually not difficult since its stitched like any other fsl design. an instruction file is included with the design and I DO recommend referring to it BEFORE joining (unlike what I did-blushes blushes). flower for you
