...in my recent response to Claire, I actually have a finished project, but I didn't want to put pictures up until I knew Ursula and her DD had received it. She e-mailed me today that the package arrived, so here it is:
I lied
Lovely work as always Beverly. I too have found getting the edge to be substantial enough takes two passes.
I dropped her an email earlier regarding some fabric I had sent her, but am happy to add some extra get well wishes here too.

That's cute. She'll love it.
That's not a lie it's just a little white lie. Christine will love it I know. I'm sorry to hear that Ursula is not feel well. A separate post for her. Juno
That's really cute!!
You are one of the most talented sewists I've known, Beverly, and what a generous person to do something like this for a little girl. She'll never forget "Beverly in the USA." Emily
Hope you will soon be feeling better! Barbara in SC
verry very cute!
This twill was especially difficult, it developed eyelashes all around, especially bad on the bias bits. On the last two in-the-hoop projects I did, the fabric behaved better. So I just left this in the hoop and went around a second time. I used red thread in the bobbin for the outer border, but I wound bobbins and did not use the "endless" feature. The bobbin thread ran out on the second pass on the border for the door hanger, naturally, so I had to bury the thread ends. .
She has had a tough time, laid low with a virus I think. She was feeling a bit better when she wrote, but good wishes are always welcome.
One hopes. I can hardly wait for pics of her opening the package. :-)
It was a lie of omission. ;-) I hope Ursula is well enough to rejoin us soon.
Thanks! It was fun to do, you should try it. ;->
Thanks, Emily, although honestly, once the design is digitized, this really is a case of "the machine does all the work." :-}
Thanks! It helps to have a cute design to start with.
*looking over shoulder* Who _is_ she talking to?

Not a lie just a holding back of information. Terrific work, it's a brilliant creation Beverly.

Thanks! It doesn't feel like work when one is having so much fun.
Too stinkin' cute!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sure Little Missy will love it!!! And what a brag she will have at school --- she got something mailed to her - JUST her - all the way from America!!! WOOT!!!!
Oh, our poor girl. Thinking good thoughts!!!!

I keep thinking I should get a digitizing program, but other expenses keep cropping up to spend extra money, like graduations, wedding, and a sister's illness. Hopefully by my birthday in December? Emily
Thanks, isn't it?
It really was fun working on that cute design. And I just HAD to put the "with love in the U.S.A." on the back of the door hanger. :-)
