    Hi I thought i'd share some of my embroidery work. Some are finished and been given as gifts, some i had to keep for me. I want to keep my first pieces, if need to make another one for someone else, i can. Only thing is how much to charge? I've read on this board about how to charge. I'm in no hurry though, still learning. But then we never quit learning...

    I also wanted to mention that some sites do give you three sizes on a set of patterns. I like it when embroidery sites send you only your format, less work for me having to delete. I hope some of my projects will give some new embroiders a little tug to try something new in embroidery. Thanks for looking. :D eagle collage from BFC, Victorian Angel from emb library, snow elves from pixesrule.com

    Thank you ladies. I'll add a few more pictures, i'm sure if theres a limit though to load pictures on here at one time. I have some baby embroidery test pieces also. Oh i love baby patterns, who doesn't? I have a couple purses (ufo) i better get to work, the one i'm using now is missing a strap lol. oh and my favorite to stitch out is sunbonnet sue, I just bought two new sets, oh i can't wait to start stitching, but life's daily jobs, housework, etc, you know stuff we hate to do and miss out on sewing. Anybody agree??? lol I also took a couple emb courses, margen for error, by embtreasures, and latte. Both ufo, but getting there. Ok i think i rambled enough, i hope you like my little projects. If i can help, please don't hesitate to ask. But i'm still learing to, maybe we can work it out together. Happy Embroidering :)

    lonestar, this is also done with wws embroider diamond shape with fabric of choice the sew diamonds together. I also have this in hexagons . I messed this one but thats ok my quilt heehee. still ufo started this last winter

    In this picture of the little piles of embroidery of diamonds, here all i have to do is trim off the stab and cut around each diamond, be very careful not to cut to close to the emb. Then cut out, each one.I made a temp. wall display to hang it as i cut out of hooped set. Then when its, how i want to it be together , i lay parts of by my machine and sew together. It goes very quickly. I bought this pattern at laurassewingstudio she has some very nice patterns for some of us who can't cut those certain shapes accurately, like me, the diamond. Hope no one is getting tired of my pics? i'll add a few more. Thanks again, everyone for your kind words and for taking a peek.

    this purse is done on faux leather, used a leather needle, with tear away stab, now adding some other fabric to it . this pattern is from astitchahalf i have many of their totes also and the whole set of fuzzy bear adorable.

    Such beautiful work. My Husqvarna viking does stuff like this, but don't have the nerves to experiment. Thanks for showing.
