It was my sister's 80th Birthday yesterday. She loves and collects Swans. I embroidered a swan on a towel for her(From Embroidery Library) and a swan bookmark (From Stitch Delight) She just loved them both.

beautiful projects, I love them both too !

Great work...Gorgeous

The towel and bookmark are a splendid gift! I understand what you mean about dense designs on towels. They do make a wonderful decorative item for the bath if they are to stiff to use. With very dense designs I usually enlarge them about 10%-15% without increasing the density. That reduces the density and it's not noticeable in the stitchout.

Would make a nice decoration in the bathroom. If I sew out the swan again I woud use the smaller size I bought and do what you have suggested. Thanks Shirley

Beautiful work.

Thanks. The swan took along time to sew out as I have the speed turnd down on my machine. Shirley

How lovely! I know she was flattered you did her favorites. Do you know the old saying about a good hostess? A good hostess is like a swan, serene on the surface and paddling like h@*! underneath.
