My mom loves butterflies, so I made her these. I used the QuickStitch Embroidery paper for the 16 oz. travel mug. The butterfly is a stock design on my Brother machine. The polka dots kind of made it a set. ;-)

Quick Stitch Embroidery Paper is like a mixture of paper and stabilizer in one. It is a little more pliable than just paper or cardstock. I hoop sticky tear away stabilizer in my hoop and then place the QS paper on top of the stabilizer. I have been able to embroider any of my regular embroidery designs with no problem with too many stitches or overlapping stitches. I got mine from the All Brands store in Louisiana, but I have never seen it availabel on their website... they call it KIWI paper on their site (not sure what that stands for). I also know they sell it on discountembroideryblanks.com. it comes it different patterns and color... like scrapbook paper.

two years ago, a friend had me do matching/coordinating cups as Christmas gifts for her kids/in-laws. it was hard for her to think up gifts that everyone would like, but would seem fair for everyone too. :-) Like one of her sons was a duck hunter and her daughter-in-law was a deer hunter so I did pink camo and green camo paper with their respective names and a duck and deer on each. Then one couple were both LSU fans, thus I made matching LSU travel mugs with their respective names,... and so on. there were 6 couples. this way they all received equal gifts, but still personal. I thought it turned out great and was a great idea. For one of my nieces I even used glitter thread and it turned out perfectly cute. Have fun!! Thanks.
