Merry, I tried to send this through normal email but your server rejected it because of size. I am sending it this way instead. Hope it is a go!

Shortly after my library bag was done it turned into my shopping tote, then into my purse. It is more than 4 years old and has been washed several times, so forgive the worn look. But I did not have a completed unused one to show you. I am not great at taking pictures and I am trying to learn to use the camera better. I rejected many of them and found out not to use the ceiling light to prevent my arms and head from making shadows! LOL :-D :-D :-D

I hope these come through OK! Kitty

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your work is incredible - sooooooo precise and beautiful. Dandelions are my favorites.

Thank you! It is not finished, as you can see by the yellow bloom that has no stalk yet! LOL (It looks like a sun but is a flower head!)

Beautiful work.

Wow. Those are awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely gorgeous handwork!

Absolutely love your embellished applique. Glad that you couldn't email it to Merry and that we got to see it, as well.

My goodness! You handwork is marvelous!

I just love these - they are so beautiful and well done! I'd love to take a class from you!

I live in Nowheresville, Ohio, too - near Toledo. Are you in my part of the state?

All those blocks are absolutely amazing!! And what a lot of hand-work!!! You rock!!! :thumbup:

:shock: :thumbup:

I live across the river from Wheeling, WV. We are a good distance away. Too bad. I could use a quilting buddy nearby! :-D :-D

I LOVE your work.

Beautiful. I love the way you embellished with the beads.

Very nice! That was a lot of work.

Awesome work!

Just gorgeous! I too love the beading, but I first saw the fern frond and just love it!!!

I have a particular affinity for leaves, especially ferns. Can't pass a leaf by for the life of me!

wow beautiful work

Thank you! Tisha, your avatar is beautiful! Did you make it and where can I find the pattern! The purple colors are stunning!

Wonderful, wonderful, dewy and delightful.

Awesome.

Kitty your work is STUNNING!!!! The embroidery alone is gorgeous but the bead embellishment is exquisite! The leaves are so pretty but the dandelions stole my heart. You are amazing :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Beautimus!!!

Merry, Thank you! :-D :-D :-D I love dandelions too! I have a file of weeds to applique! LOL Most people would pick flowers instead, but for some reason weeds catch my eye! In truth, I just can't pass up ANY plant!

Sorry about the quality of the pics. They looked better before I uploaded them. I think they look over-exposed. I don't use the camera much. But I will in the future. Just bought the memory card for it. Did not know it needed one and could only take 8 pictures at a time. I thought that was idiotic in these high-tech times! Found out I was the idiot! It needed a MEMORY CARD! :oops: :-D :D :-D

Kitty, that's too funny! But don't feel bad. Every time I DL pics from my first digital camera to my computer, one picture of my daughter scowling at me (as only a 15 yr old can) showed up over & over. Thought I was in the Twilight Zone! This went on for months. My DH finally told me I'd unknowingly saved that picture & it would continue to print until I deleted it. Said he didn't tell me before b/c he thought it was "cute."

Exquisite!

Totally awesome!! Such talent.

beautiful i love the peacock

Gorgeous!! So glad her e-mail bounced so you could share these with all of us!!!

Merry, that is funny! :-D :-D

Today I had the same thing happen. The memory built into the camera would only hold 8 pics (which I did not know were there) and the new memory card will hold 1000. I did not know that when I transferred them to my computer it sent ALL of them. Of course I deleted what I had taken afterward and had to take many over again because I got shadows from my head and arms from the ceiling light. Well, when I uploaded the second set to the computer I got the same 8 pictures along with the new ones. Same as you, I did not realize that I had to erase the built in memory. The problem was that I got mad! I am not high-techy and get frustrated! LOL Kitty

Maybe someday I will catch on to how email works. I am trying to save addresses for email and can't figure that out either. Thank you for your compliment.

beautiful

Incredible! Very nice.

Beautiful work. My favorite is the ginkgo leaves

WOW-what a talent you have.

ditto!!!



Stunning work :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Your applique is awesome. I love the bead work. What talent.

OMG, just spectacular! I'm going to be looking at these pics for a while!!
