Wow You did a great job. The petals around the base of the vase really add to it. I hope you have it framed and up on the wall soon.

Gorgeous Tracey! I love the little fallen petals and stamens around the vase. Very authentic.

Very beautiful, Tracey. I love the colour composition and stitching gives it a special effect.

A very beautiful vase of flowers Tracey. Anemones I'd say - one of my favourite flowers. I zoomed right in and the detailing is superb. A great success.  |

Thanks very much Judith! Glad you zoomed in, I am at ease with free motion sewing now, I love it, it is just like drawing with a pencil. Who knows, maybe when I'm famous, I'll be signing my name this way on pieces as other artists do!  |

on the signing note, a question. what inks or dyes are best to use to stamp some cloth or ribbon so it can be sewn on or perhaps even just stamped on the back of a piece?

For what purpose Ann? Do you mean to add your name/details to a piece?

Yes I would like to be able to label them with a stamp I have.

Well this may not be what you are really looking for but maybe an option.
To hopefully sell my pictures, I have backed them with calico and provided a hanger. I do not have a web site but I have had woven labels made with my email address on them, and I've sewn this on the back at the bottom. That way if a piece is bought, the owner can get back in touch if needed (to commission something else would be nice!!)
