A cushion? Whatever you do I think it is beautiful and I look forward to reading what others say

Wat mooi Yvonne. Ik zou er een tas of een kussen van maken. Nice for a bag or a pillow.

Dear Yvonne, I'd love this as the front page of a notebook - I'm not sure how big this design is but if it is a 5x7 then you could even frame it. Love Chris

I love it! How large is this piece of fabric? It would be beautiful in a frame. Also have you seen those memory boards where ribbon criss crosses them and you have thumbtacks to hold the ribbon or like the one on this link, depending how large that fabric is.

This rose on the fabric is stunning and certainly deserves to be used as a show stopper...I could see this hung somewhere, too.......

Do you have an Ipad or kindle? That would make a beautiful carry case-tote bag, that way everybody could see it when you carry it out in public :) If this square isn't big enough, you could add a border fabric. Its SO beautiful!! I am just now doing a photo stitch project, my 1st one. What fun they are to do! Thanks for sharing your picture. Love it! Flowers to everybody!!

Hi there,this type of fabric is very popular in South Africa and my daughter who lives in Kentucky bought quiet a lot to take with her on their visit during December. Afrikaans is an "endangered language",therefore the sentiment

This is very pretty. I think it would make a lovely decorator pillow for the sofa. You could always add a border if the fabric isn't large enough for the pillow size you want.

Not sure what you are worried about, the rose or fabric, if it is the rose, dont worry I have seen them stitched out at our local quilt shop and they are georgous, I did buy them have not stitched them out yet but will, if its the fabric, well I would not embroider on this type of fabric not my cup of tea. I would this fabric for a book cover Does this help you?

This looks really great. Glad to see you took the plunge and used a patterned background. Would love to see this on the side of a bag maybe but all the other ideas are great as well. Lyn

I love the rose on this fabric. A bedroom pillow? a bag/purse?

I just love it when I see designs stitched out on a printed fabric. This really accents the rose. The color stands out. I too, would put it on something that you use often. It is just sew pretty.

This was risky and it works. Make something for yourself and enjoy, enjoy.

I think that the background fabric adds a lot to it. Printed fabric with words is becoming more popular here too but not quite in the same style. It will be a showstopper no matter what you do with it. I agree that it needs to be shown off. I don't know that the texture would hold up to being a tote bag. How long are the stitches? Long enough to snag or be rubbed with use? It's very striking!
