04/05/24 The Stained Glass shown below is now available: https://bfc-creations.com/bfc2167-springtime-stained-glass.html
I've been working on the Great Blue Heron image. Here is the image:
and here is my rendering so far:
I'm still experimenting with thechinques to use. I think I like tha background though I might change the colors around a little. I think it needs more of the orange in the water. I'll get the sections of water done, then I can play around with the order to emphasize one color over another. By putting sheer layers of color over each other you can come up with more shading without having to add new thread colors. Regardless to popular belief (LOL) - I do try to use fewer colors if I can.
3/29/24 I didn't quite get the Stained Glass set ready for today, but it is almost done.
3/26/2024 I'm working on a new Stained Glass wall hanging. It consists of 6 designs and will add the bright colors of spring to any wall. Of use it for the center of a quilt or lap top. I have three designs done and stitched and should have this ready to go live this coming Friday. This set is also perfect for using Angelina Film before stitching to add a sparkly effect. I wil include instructions to do this.
These three blocks are stitched and ready to assemble. 
Here is a screen shot from my software showing how much is done on the remaning three blocks.
3/20/24 The African Sunset is live on the website: https://bfc-creations.com/bfc2166-african-sunset.html
Now I'm working on some designs that could be used for a border for the African Scene or any African fabric or designs. I have to ask though, I'm making them 2.5 " tall, but not sure how wide to make them. The image below is 6.9" (so it will fit in a 7" hoop. I will have larger sizes of them too, but I need the basic break down first. I have at least one more scene to make one and i can make ones without the black silhouettes any size to fit in between. Does anyone have some suggestions? Maybe some of you quilters that are more used to common sizes of sashing and borders than I am?

3/15/24 I'm getting back on track with my machine working great now! I will be able to now get back to the African scene and to start one of the other large bird scenes. Thank you for your patience! Suz
I have gotten stopped in my tracks! My commercial machine which has worked great for a long time decided it had enough. LOL I found a tech in the next state - (the nearest one used to be in the midwest - i'm in NE) and will be here tomorrow. I haven't been able to test stitch anything. Hopefully I'll be back at full speed soon. He arrives March 8. I can't wait!!!

I've been thrilled with how much you've loved the Quack-Quack Family. So I figured it's time to add some more family members. I have two almost done: (these are so much fun to do!)

2/16/24 I will be starting our next scene today :)
2/17/24 A good start - I love working with these colors. Because you can't blend colors with embroidery as you can with paint, you have to use fewer color changes when you create the embroidery. I loaded quite a few oranges and yellow into my software and experimented with the different sections in the sky. I created the sky first, then tried different colors until I was happy with the result. As more of the picture is done I might change them some more.
After posting my image and comparing it to the painting below, I will probably add some more darker orange to the top of the sky. The goal is to balance the colors in an embroidery. This helps create depth as you look at the finished project.
02/20/24 I've added some more detail items - trees, a rock and parts of the two figures.
2/27/24 Our African Scene is getting close to the final stages. I hope to have this available in about two weeks.

Here is a possibility for another Water Bird scene:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2/2/24 I have started (barely) the Gorgeous Spoonbill above. I'm going to post pics as I go along. Some of you might be interested in how i go about doing a realistic or complex design. No matter what the subject matter is, if there is an eye in it I always do the eye(s) first. I think I like them looking back at me as I work (LOL) plus the whole design can be affected by the eye. Then I do some small parts of other sections. Everything might be changed as i go along - i think of it as sketching in the design. I have started that with the Spoonbill. I will post my progress daily here! 
2/3/24 I've been working a little more on my Spoonbill. I have more of the bird blocked out and the legs might be the final version. I added the top of a small tree and lots of bits of feathers. I might have to choose slightly different shades for the feathers since so far the demarcation seems too dramatic to me. but changing colors of sections is easy. That is usually my final step when i have the whole design done. I have a question. There is a lot of background on this design. I wondering if I should choose a similar color of fabric (s) or digitize the whole design? I would really like feedback on this because it can apply to a lot of different designs. I'm concerned it might be difficult to find a good color fabric.
2/11/24 I've been very busy trying to clear out all the thread but finally found some time to work on our Spoonbill! I'm folloing the colors in the painting, but I'm going to make the design so you can choose a decorative fabric instead of doing all the background stitching. You can also totally change the look by using blue shades for the sky and water.

Here is another possibility for a scene - again the colors are gorgeous and the theme is something you don't see that often in embroidery. Again - please feel free to leave any comments. https://bfc-creations.com/contact-us/
