Projects - Embroidered Engagement Gift

I embroidered these two tea towels for my sister-in-law for the occasion of her engagement! We were supposed to have a big party last weekend in Virginia Beach, but Hurricane Irene saw to it that no party was to be had. However, my father -in-law, the manly man that he is still managed to grill hot dogs and hamburgers outside in the middle of the storm. Nothing shall deter the men from their grilling! I spent the trip down and a few hours on Friday last week stitching up these little babies. The towels themselves were given to me by my mommy, she found them super cheap somewhere and got me a bunch to embroider on. They are huge and very absorbent!

I hand drew/made up each design with a quilters pencil and embroidered over the marks. She loved them! Especially the nom nom nom, as we both deeply enjoy LOL Cats.







Thanks for reading!

Projects: Hand Stitched Gifts

I've been practicing my embroidery lately, and made this little portrait to send to my sweet friend April of her precious daughter! (She loved it!)



I also embroidered these tea towels as a wedding shower gift to my dear friends Shannon and Duncan!
The one on the left I have posted before, but I made the teacup embroidery as it's match and gave both to them.
I used vintage embroidery patterns from the blog My Transfers.




Thanks for reading!

more pretties to enjoy
