I like it too and the men I gave mine to really seems to appreciate.I love the center design...You must have a large hoop or what size is yours?
This one was done on a 6x10 inch hoop - there is one for the 5x7 hoop, which must be very small. But, the next one I make will be 8x12 - that is the largest hoop I have and I feel fortunate to have it! Thanks, Toogie!
A 5x7 wouldn't be worth fooling with in my humble opinion. By the time you snap up the edges you wouldn't be able to put anything inside. I made mine on a regular machine, except for the embroidery design in the center.
That's wonderful! You are sweet to find this great gift for your darling.
I love ith designs, where did you find this pattern? You did a beautiful job, by the way...God Bless
You have done a great job on this tray! I know he will love it!
I think his is amazing. Bet your husband is thrilled
This is just beautiful, Laura...I totally understand why you DH loves it!
What a Stunning Design!!!Awesome job done!!!Gorgeous
I can see why he likes it. Looks so masculine. I noticed how close the the hoop it stitched did that worry you. I would feel so nervous about that.
I think this is the nicest thing I have seen in a while.
Hope Hubby feels better soon.
The stitching was close to the vinyl (but not the hoop). I was lucky that it stitched close but not over the vinyl. LOL, if the stitching had gone over the vinyl - I would have started over! Thank you, I am a little worried him - we will know more next week. Thank you again!!!
Beautiful design and what a sweet gesture for your hubs!
Love this! Is that double sided vinyl? It looks like 1 piece.
I meant to tell you - that I usually go over the white stabilizer that shows up in between the two pieces of vinyl (along the edges) with a fabric marker (blue in this case). Kinda makes it look like one piece.
I'm not a celtic fan, but this is beautiful! What a nice gift.
Wow, if you don't care for Celtic - that is a wonderful compliment!! My DH is just like any of us, he likes a little surprise!! Thank you!!!
Ooh! Laura, this is just gorgeous! I love that Celtic design and have used it on some coasters I've recently made. Well done my friend, love Chris
What a great gift for your husband! The colors, design and choice of fabric are ideal.
Fantastic. I am sure you brightened up hubbies day
Love this and it's machine embroidery with a difference
