I've been thinking about it. Like I really need something else to do and more supplies! Do you have a favorite site for basic instructions?

I didn't buy the CD because I didn't want the thread kit that ran the whole thing up to almost $150 with tax. I have enough thread and do hand cross stitch with every DMC color known. I discussed this with the dealer and told her the colors were off according to what the statues colors are and why I didn't want the thread kit, just the CD. The CD embroideries were licensed by the convent who owns the Hummel rights and digitized from the original paintings done over 60+ years ago...paintings probably have never been cleaned although archieved so you know the colors are off, especially on skin tones. The figurines are painted with oxide glaze colors I prefer.

You'll be a busy lady! Have you tried your local public library? Look for books by Erica Fortgens. The Amazon link below is to one of her books that has an angel pattern in it... Also, here are a couple links to kits that have an angel. Embroidery on Paper kit - Christmas Fun Angel Card Kit Here is a link that might be useful: Erica Fortgens' book Creative Embroidery on Paper

I had a pattern a long time ago for a "Sticker" Vest for a child and made one for my GD. It was out of clear vinyl and (actually any straight cut vest pattern would do) just hemmed the seams with the tape as mentioned by another poster. Also put on a pocket. The pocket was filled with stickers so she could peel them off and put anywhere on her vest she wanted. It was cute and fun to see her use it..I have to find that pattern and post it. sorry for the extra info here!!

A friend's MIL embroidered gold rings on all the wedding invitations when her son and my friend got married. It looked beautiful.

Some paper embroidery patterns can be adapted to use for embroidering on CDs. (Obviously, you need to drill the holes, but the principle is the same).

Hi Cathy and other embroiderers -

I have tried embroidery on greeting cards a few times. The effect is stunning and certainly different from most other cards I make. But golly, did my fingers get sore poking all those holes!

What do you use to make the holes? (I was using a large needle.)

I did an angel in flight to fit into the oval space under glass of a wooden tray for my mother; of course, I have it now. Still love it. chery2
