I finished the two dish towels my Mom left for me to do. I started on some of my own stamped designs that have been languishing in my embroidery box for a while.
Nice to have some completed projects.
We had a quiet day, in the afternoon we watched Flipped it was a good movie. Toward evening the Great Grandchildren were here to liven up the place! Andy made loaded nachos for supper.

ReplyDeleteCompleting a project is very satisfying. I always think…check that off!
ReplyDeleteThe dish towels turned out so pretty. I used to do embroidery and counted cross-stitch. It was always relaxing to me. RHill, TX
ReplyDeleteI bet having the great grands there was entertaining!
ReplyDeleteThe tea towels are lovely.
So lovely!
ReplyDeleteOoh, pretty and fun!
ReplyDeleteLittle stress on this day. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI used to do a little embroidery. Now my hands are just not supple enough for fine hand work. I'm glad the you can still do it.
ReplyDeleteQuiet days (with a sprinkle of great grands) are the greatest!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I still have some embroidered dish towels from my bridal shower 49 years ago. I admit that I've hoarded them, and would only pull out a couple and actually use them until they were threadbare before pulling out a couple more. My grandmothers both embroidered dishtowels and pillowcases for me. And I've even bought a some new ones at craft shows over the years.
ReplyDeleteLD,,,,The finished pieces are so bright in colors and looks great. I have old ones that are faded and your white cloth is so fresh. The contrasts are so great against the cloth.
ReplyDeleteLove the towels, how very sweet they were your mom’s…well done. Family alway brightens everything up! Happy day, Virginia
ReplyDeleteThe tea towels are very pretty💗
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with those tea towels. I love embroidering them but no one seems to use them much anymore. I'm sorry I haven't comment this weekend. I didn't even have the computer on until tonight after the SuperBowl. Go Hawks! Needless to say, our Washington friends are very happy tonight. We didn't watch it but I am happy for them all.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
Glad you finished your mom's dish towels and started a new project. We have been watching the Olympics...always so fun and today we watched the Super Bowl too!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful they turned out!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great project to finish up! Beautiful!
