I don't know how many of you ladies have done any hand embroidery, but I did this with ribbon embroidery after I printed the background out on fabric using my printer(yeah...what else would I use!)Sorry about that last remark--- I am going loopy.My computer is driving me nuts!!!

This is a beautiful piece of work - I know it took hours of work to do all that hand embroidery. I have tried ribbon embroidery and enjoy it, but it is very time-consuming. Well done to you. *4U

Great Job. Were you able to print to the fabric directly, or did you print to specialty paper and iron on? With a bouquet like that you don't need any more flowers but I will give you all I can anyway. Flowers for everyone after all it is Memorial Day and we should be thinking of others:o)

Thank you.I printed it directly on fabric.You need either special prepared fabric which can be bought as A4size in packs of 5 sheets, or you can treat it yourself with Bubble Je2000 which, of course, works out cheaper.And you need a bubble jet printer. It can't be done on a laser printer.You also need freezer paper cut to A4 or A8 which you iron on to the back of your prepared fabric. It is very easy to prepare and the instructions on the bottle of bubble jet are very easy to follow.
Does this answer your question?Any more- just ask.

OOOOPS!!That's Bubble Jet 2000

Beautiful!! Another * for your garden. I have never tried ribbon embroidery but my mom did alot of this type type of work. Sorry to say we lost mom in '94. I wonder what she would think about the machine embroidery we do now. I am sure she would be just as addicted to as the rest of us.

Durch dem Hintemgrunbild ist ein 3D Effect entstanden. Man hat das gefühl dass über die Allee reinspazieren kann. Einfach perfekt! ********
