Hi mi30kaja, These Violets are stunning. They look so real. May I ask what Embroidery Site did you buy them from. Thankyou so much for sharing. Kind Regards Lorraine McNeill of South Australia

Flowers from Embroider Shoppe. Through Secrets of Embroidery and the leaves through Pam's 3D Designs. Think they are now through OregonPatchWorks.

I wasn't going to make them as they take ages but found I had time. Flowers from One place and leaves from another.

Thank You Lidia. At least they can say they can't kill these unless they water them.

Absolutely beautiful Lynn, how long do these take to sew out? How many leaves do you have to make for each set? Love Chris

Chris, I haven't really timed myself but there are 12 flowers, 15 leaves of two sizes, then you have to wind the Florist tape. I also use Florist foam,Glue and stones. This all takes time - like ages. I have also made before the Plants from Pam's 3D Designs - OPW before.

The owl designs stitched out beautifully on your towels. Those will sell quickly for sure. The African violets are so life-like. I can almost feel their fuzzy leaves from here!! Fabulous job.

The photo of the towels is an old one and almost sure all of these have gone. Hope to sell the African Violets next weekend.

Miss Lyn, these are lovely! I should make me some of these African Violets, it is the only way I can keep flowers alive and they have an added feature for me...no watering. The towels are all wonderful, too. hugs

The Violets and or any of this type of 3D Embroidery takes time but it is certainly worth the effort.

Not as good as the real thing. Wonder what your Grand Mother would think?
