I don't know about you ladies but it seems like somehow or someway I make mistakes I need to creatively salvage. Here is the one that messed up when my machine died. For two years it sat in a drawer until I found a solution.I was soooo, bummed!

Yes, mistakes can be a good thing, but so very frustrating! I just wonder why it took me two years to figure out what to do???

How very sweet it turned out - now it will have newer pictures and everyone will say - isn't the presious and no one needs to know - there was ever any trouble with it 2 years ago. So special.

just love this any idea where the designs are from?

The designs used to be photographs of my granddaughter Ella. I digitized them for a special Father's day gift for my son. The design that got messed up was going to be a photo of him at two years old. But alas, now it is converted to a photo of him holding his baby on the day she was born.

My brother program allows me to take a photo and digitize a pattern from the photo. It is call photostitch. The design has many layers starting from the lightest color to the darkest. Each photo design took like 90 minutes each and I was about a half hour from finishing the embroidery (which I was going to frame) when my machine died. I printed the photos on the photo material to make the wall hanging, but it cannot be washed. Told my son to get a paint brush to dust it. Guess what? He does!

You would never know that it wasn't meant to be used this way. Excellent save.

That is wonderful and thank you for sharing your picture with us - what a lovely lady you are - where are you from - if you care to let us know? I live in Riverdale, Utah USA
I am now in So. California. Most of the time we live full time in our bus conversion and travel, usually back and forth from California to Arizona. Yes, my two sewing machines are always out except for when we are on the road. lol

If you don't tell, no one will ever know this is not what it was originally intended to be. Beautiful project.

As others have said, the project turned out really well, so no harm in having had some 'thinking time'! I'm sure you achieved a few other completed projects during that 2 years :) Welcome to Cute :) Are you a Psychic, may I ask, or is your Avatar name a play on what the regular mother needs to know to complete each day? :)
