I use a sheet of transparency film for overhead projectors (or any transparent piece of clear plastic) and an erasable marker to audition designs for FMQ and think it will work perfectly for trying different embroidery designs. Just place it on top of the square and doodle away. Just be careful not to smudge the ink onto your square!Skootchoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092270224150199196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-84305200123811370422014-01-17T16:31:33.360-08:002014-01-17T16:31:33.360-08:00That is a terrific idea to add a butterfly or bee ...That is a terrific idea to add a butterfly or bee to the center and leave the flower as is. I'm having so much fun and every time someone makes a suggestion - it is a demonstration of their creativity and every time I read an idea like yours, it gives me even more ideas! It is so much fun to share in this way. It gets me excited about what I'm doing and I hope others feel the same way.Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166374693095867682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-50003164819580874142014-01-17T12:42:19.030-08:002014-01-17T12:42:19.030-08:00Or Jean could have embroidered a butterfly or bee ...Or Jean could have embroidered a butterfly or bee to center that flower.

I hope you enjoy doing the embroidery and it is so nice that you will have pleasant thoughts of your Mom while you are doing it!
