Ruching and Embroidery Equals WOW!

Everyday I see new ideas every where I turn. If it is not a new thread, it is a new machine, if it is not a new design use, it is a new stabilizer. Here is an idea that I thought was really great. Combining ruching with embroidery to create a three dimensional item. Here is the photo of the finished...
