Mother's Day Presents!!

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there in blogland!! . . . And some monogram towels for gifts!!

I'm sure you have all noticed that monograms are big. I mean BIG!!! So, I thought I would put my new (having oh, so much fun with it thankyouverymuch) embroidery machine to good use for Mother's Day presents.

Each mom will receive a personally embroidered, by yours truly, set of monogrammed hand towels for their guest bathrooms. My maiden name and my married name both begin with the same letter. . . so I didn't even need to change the letter. The towel in the middle is mine. I'm keeping it for our guest bathroom. I tried something new with this towel. It's an embossed monogram. You use the same color thread as the towel and it actually looks embossed. It is a little harder to see than the black lettering so I thought the moms would prefer to have something that "pops" like the black lettering.

Here's a close-up of the embossed monogram. Very elegant, don't you think?

. . . next, I'll be working on monogram towels and pillowcases for Cancer Relay for Life. I'm putting together a Paris flair bed/bath basket from the 9th grade cheerleaders as a donation for their silent auction. I'll share pictures when I am finished with that project.

Blessings. . . until next time,
