I have always loved embroidery designs with His, Hers, Yours, Mine, and...............

The words Mr.

and Mrs.  like this.............
do you??


Normally, this design would be meant for a set of pillowcases..................

But the carnations., scrolls and french knots..................

as well as the ribbon............caused  me to do something different with them..............

(click on images for a better view)
a set of towels..............for the newly wed..........
or for the guest bathroom. Although I am finished with the stitching, I am thinking about sewing a decorative fabric edging on the bottom.............
what do you think??

Remember this little towel I showed you a few post back?
I love this design............but it seemed to be so small on the bottom of the towel.


So I decided to embroider these sweet little rose buds


all along the bottom half of the towel. It is different, but it is a kind of different I like.
It gives it a nostalgic/shabby chic/ look to it..........
don't you think??
How about you?
Do you tend to start adding small things here or there to a design?
Do you paint them or stitch them on?
Do you enjoy embroidered towels in the bathroom?
I would love to hear!

  2. I've never had a monogrammed anything, maybe it's time! When I embroider, I love to fill in with little flowers and french knots.

  3. I thought that may e the Mr and Mrs towels for the newlyweds were dish towels, that would be good to see if the mister used his. Beautiful work.

  6. The monograms are really pretty! And I like the tiny flowers placed around the other one. It really is shabby chic:)

  7. Kathleen, that towel is absolutely beautiful! The rosebuds are perfect! And yes, I do tend embellish a design with extra details as I go along. I think that's one of the most fun parts of embroidery!
