Am busy making gifts at the moment and this is for my SIL. Am not too happy with the color I chose, still have a lot to learn from you all. Any suggestions are welcome as to the color. Thanks.

Try laying some spools of different colors on your fabric and see what pleases you. I like pinks and greens on gray but the possibilities are endless.

Great job on stitching, I think I would go with whites and more brilliant pinks........

Yes, thank you, I do think that would make the color come out more.

I like what you have done, I tend to be a bit boring with some of my colour choices, I like to put the tones of colour of the towel that I am embroidering, eg, green towel-tones of green, brown towel-tones of brown etc..... but that idea only works with letters only type designs, then I tend to get the colours out that I think will go and lay them on the towels , hugs to you, Trish

Oh, thank you. I also tend to do tone on tone in the beginning, specially when I started with quilting ages ago but I got bored with it and when I discovered scrap quilting, it was my style. Not everyone's cup of tea but that is what is nice about handicraft, to each her own. Hugs, Mary

I always relate this colour to my hair as I'm grey!!! I think with grey, pinks, purples, fuschia, and even silver would be great. You've still done a great job on this. Well done, love Chris

Thank you, I love seeing people with grey hair. My mom has it as well and I told her she is not allowed to dye her hair. Am starting to have some too. Love, Mary

If you have Embird or a software program that will let you see the design on different coloured backgrounds try that. I like what you have done. I sometimes get disappointed as the colour didn't show as I thought it would.
Keep on creating and have fun doing it.

Thank you, I don't have Embird, just my normal software program that came with my machine, bought it 6 years ago. But am taking note of all the wonderful suggestions everyone have been so kind to share with me. Cuties at its best.

You have done a great job on this, experiment is always good. Colours are a personal choice, i like to use bright colours that stand out and do not disappear in what designs you chose. If it is not a dense design , you could may be go over it again with a brighter colour. Trial and error as we can always improve on any thing we do. Sandra.

Thank you, I think going over a design is good, specially as my design was not a dense one. I just thought since it is a tea towel and not as thick as a normal towel, it would be ok. Trial and error :-)
