    Willie is trying to learn how to make the colors more vibrant. I keep seeing new photography magazines show up :) Does anyone know how to photograph embroidery to make the colors "pop"?

    Thanks,

    Cheryl

    Cheryl,

    If you have access to Photoshop you can make your colors "pop".

    Yes, I don't know if I told you but I love your squares, you do excellent work. I think your squares are reasonably priced.

    Thank You to all who have responded. It is encouraging to hear from others, sometimes it gets discouraging at first. There are so many things to think about and do other than just the embroidery, never thought I would be writing ad copy. Everything is slowly coming together. I picked up some bone colored Kona cotton as an alternative fabric and some ivory flannel backed satin to do some wedding squares for pillows, albums and maybe purses. If any of you have suggestions on fabric please let me know.

    Thanks Again

    Cheryl
