Stitching Busy Fingers -- Embroidery

I purchased a big lot of cloth hand towels and have been busily stitching away. Here are some photos of the first few I have completed.

I am thinking about putting a few more patterns on a towel and then using a fabric backing and some quilt batting to make a table centerpiece/runner.

I find some of these comical. They are of a vintage flare and one of my favorite online sites is flickr.com where a ton of patterns can be found for your stitching fun!

Purple Iris Beauty

Someone sent me an email that had this beautiful picture of purple irises included.

These have always been my favorite flowers. They do not have long bloom life in the south. They also do not last in bouquets very long, but they are so beautiful and vibrant in color.

They make me happy!! Hope they brighten your day as well.

Aunt Mae's Christmas Quilt

I wanted to put on some pictures of a special present I made for Aunt Mae and mailed off to her in Montana recently.

The embroidery blocks are from a blog spot I found called Sentimental Stitches. I just loved stitching these up and will have to do some more in the future for myself!
