Mother Tiger carrying her Cub: "the Caretakers" by BFC Creations. This design took me three hoopings and about 7 hours of sewing. It's a test design, just for me. I thought it would look good on the animal print fabric, but I think it might get lost in all the colors. The next one will be on a black velvet background, I think. I wanted it to look like she was puching her way through the jungle leaves and flowers, do you think I succeeded? I just love her, but I must say lining up three hoopings was nerve racking, but I think I got it just perfect! Thanks for looking, hugs, Marji

Click on the photo to enlarge it, if you didn't know that already. The colors are a bit brighter in person, I thought I'd photograph it in the sunshine, so you could see how shiny the Metro thread is, but it may be a little overexposed. Marji

A beautiful design, so many details and lovely flowers too. You stitched it out beautifully - even enlarged I can't see where the different parts begin and end. I understand it must have been nerve racking, but you did a great job!
I bet it will look stunning on black too.

The tiger was one hooping, each flower side was separate. I had to line them up just right over and around the tiger. I just bought the velvet, can't wait! Thanks for the compliment, Martine, means a lot.

Wow! Stunning! I actually really like the background fabric.The thread gives it all the "punch" it needs.To me it looks like they are emerging from the wild.Subtle but strong.Thanks for the tip about clicking to enlarge and thanks for sharing this.

Definitely needs something plainer as a background Marji the animal print takes away from the design... beautifully done though...fabulous job...

This is really beautiful. Love the colours and the background. Does look like she is emerging from the foliage. Well done. Will be great on the black velvet also. Lyn

Absolutely stunning! She appears to be coming out of the jungle!
The black velvet will certainly make it eye popping!
Great job!

You did a great job. I could see this with the black velvet in the middle and either animal prints or leafy prints on each side of the black. What do you plan on doing with your stitchout?

It IS perfect! Wow, wow, wow. It's stunning. I like it even more on the animal print. ;)

Beautiful. Love the way the tiger is fitting into the background just as in nature. Much prefer this look than on a solid fabric!

Impressive embroidery skills you have there! Your thread choices were perfect. I'd would have never known that you had to rehoop. I could not tell that it was not done in a single hooping. The tiger does appear to emerge from the leaves. This would be good on a jacket back! Waiting to see the velvet version!

Beautiful work. I know how hard it is to line up several hoopings. I have an angel picture that took 5 hoopings. Was a real job to do that many.

Wow you did it can't even tell where the line ups are great job ..BM

I don't think it will look near as good on a plain fabric,it's not a full tiger. I think with the animal print back ground it looks like she is emerging from the jungle. If you are looking for a more real feeling,than I think you have it with the way you did it. I think the plain will give it a one dimentional, flat look. With the way it is it makes you look again to make sure it is not going to jump out at you and that you haven't missed any details.Beautiful work! Richelle

Absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see it done on the black velvet. I am really impressed with your hooping. I have tried putting different designs on the same thing and can't even get that right. Is this on the back of a shirt>

I have NOT mastered the art of rehooping and getting the design to line up. You've done a beautiful job here!
I think that using a print with the tiger emerging was a good call. If you wanted to change anything, I would go with a foliage print instead of an animal print, but I see nothing wrong with what you did here!
I look forward to seeing how it will look on black velvet. It would be like the tiger and cub emerging from the darkness. That would be a very striking scenic design as well. Great job!!

Fantastic job, Marji! Hard to believe it might come out any better on the black velvet, but I'm sure we're all keen to see how it goes. You've lined up the extra designs so well. What a relief that the tiger didn't need to be split and lined up :)
