Embroidery Contest 2006
Entry # 4
|
This participant used the designs from the Appliqué
FSL Doily Set.
"I ordered the applique freestanding lace primarily because I've never
seen the two combined. I did want a center piece which was not included
in the design, so I made a circle to fit the 7 panels I sewed out.
One edge of each panel was joined by machine with a tiny satin stitch in
the same gold as the FSL. I tacked down the panels to the circle
with invisible thread by machine, but left the top flower of each panel
unsewn to give a 3D effect. The circle was finished with a decorative
built in stitch on my Janome 6500 and a loose zig zag stitch on the circle
border by machine. All the embroidery and applique was done on my
Brother 2002D.
This doily was done for a gift exchange this November at my Janome
sewing club. I included a long piece of the material I used so the
recipient can make coasters or smaller doilies with the same material which
graduates in colors. I hope the unknown recipient enjoys the colorful
doily as much as I enjoyed doing it." |
