To be honest, I’m not all that interested in making things out of embroideries. To me the most interesting thing by far is the quality of the embroidery as a design or even as a piece of art (if that’s not too pretentious). Add to that the fact that I’m useless on a sewing machine and the result is that I don’t make many things out of my embroideries. But embroidery is after all a craft, and I realise that most people think of it as an embellishment for objects, so every now and then I try to think of useful things to do with it. Here are a couple of ways that people have used my designs in the past.
Jacobean motifs on a stole, embroidered by Carolyn (http://www.creativeneedlecraft.com/)
Little celtic bag – one of the few things that I’ve actually made myself
Art nouveau motifs make a shade for a bathroom window (by Cherri Kincaid)

Hi, Mia, Thank you for the beautiful new designs you posted 11/26. I feel the same, the embroidery speaks to me and not always gives me ideas to make things. I favor the art nouveau era and just love your newest. Please keep on posting new designs and sharing ideas, Contratulations with your painted designs, they are lovely! Love, Leona
