Fish bowl and vase
Seeing darlingwife's fish bowl I remembered I digitised one a couple of years ago, which I never stitched out. So now that my granddaughter is asleep on the settee, I looked it up and thought I could easily change the bowl into a vase and added a cornflower bouquet. I won't be able to use my embroidery machine till I'm home again, so plenty of time (I think) to remove the barley and add some extra flowers.
I had a go at it, digitised some poppies. Used an old photograph for the poppies and for the leaves I looked at two artificial flowers my daughter has to brighten up a dull corner. I have yet to remove overlaps and streamline the stitching order but like what I got so far.

I like them both too. The bowl and vase are both nicely 3 dimensional.

Delightful! I would keep the one with the barley, and just make a second one with all flowers?

Very nice. I like them both and agree you should keep the barley and just make another with extra flowers. They really look 3-D. Great job

Both are very nice. I love the barley but with vase like this can see more flowers. Your work intrigues me, your a great teacher. Love it.

You do great work! As amazing as it looks now -- I know there is a lot of work to do before it is finished. One of the reasons I have such respect for those that manually digitize is I know the amount of time it takes to do this kind of quality work.. The design looks so much better. You can see the quality --- even now before it is stitched.
I am really looking forward to the end result.

Thank you all for your comments. I've started a poppy to make a different flower arrangement but ran out of time. I may have to wait finishing it till I am home again. But I promise to show it.

These would make a nice set to have love the way the bowl and the vase match. Love the flowers and the barley, but other flowers would be nice also. That's why you are the digitizer and I'm just a wannabe. Have a wonderful time. :)

Dear Martine, you are just so clever, a real artist with embroidery threads as your medium. Love all your work, love Chris

Thank you, Chris, it is much easier than painting as you can reduce the size of one element, enlarge another, rotate a third and move the components around until you like your composition. The tedious part starts when you change the stitching order so you can replace jumps by connection stitches and make sure there are a minimal number of thread changes.

WOW! That's a wonderful design, the poppies go so well with the cornflowers, and the vase completes the design.

Well done!! I am away from my embroidery machine for the best part of the month - I am further organizing my designs - wish I had you talent - digitizing would be so wonderful!! Hugs to you, Laura*

Thank you.
Organizing designs is a task I'd rather skip. My own are rather well named and organized, although half of them in English, half of them in Dutch; seems to depend on what I was doing - having Cute open or talking to my hubby, so I could translate half of them, but which half :)
All others are by site and then per category; not the most ideal way, but I'd rather not change the system.

Love the designs! But even more fascinating is watching the second one sew out--how in the world did you manage to post a virtual sew out? Is that in the Embird program, or the Viking? Super job, anyway, thanks for sharing it. I love cornflowers and poppies, anyway. My mother's will bloom soon, ones she planted here at the farm probably 40 years ago. Keeps something of her alive for me. Hugs, Marji

Embird offers that, nice feature isn't it. You can also have it make a screensaver of any design you have, not just the ones you digitize.
Glad to see you here!!

Clever Girl,
Thanks for reminding me why I am not doing digitizing. :-)
Lovely work - all three!
Stitching out is so fascinating to watch. Mesmerising in fact.
I could stay here all day.

I agree with the mesmering part. I have a screensaver of one of my designs - and it always fascinates me to see it doing its magic on the black screen.

Like others I really could watch these stitch out over and over again! Love your work! I have so many of your designs I have downloaded from both DBC and You Embroidery and I am hoping my body will allow me to do more stitching so I can make use of the designs but until then, each time I look at each of the designs as I plan out some charity quilts your designs bring a smile to my face and I thank you for that. I am sure the smiles will be even bigger as I watch the designs stitch out but until then, the smile just seeing the design I will eventually stitch, I will accept gratefully! Thank You for sharing your talent.
