Cuties, Here is a small, bought blanket I embroidered for another gift. Love the colors. The baby is scheduled for C-section birth, Friday. Jake will be my son-in-laws nephew. Our Gus and their Jake, will be I month and 2 days difference, in age.

My daughter said it didn't matter which side to emb on. I was a little lazy today so.... To hide the back stitches, I could have taken a corner apart and re-sewn, but I thought the fur side might hide the bobbin stitches. I chose to stitch the lighter Minky side.
My friend said if it didn't matter to my daughter, save yourself some trouble. She's right of course, but I have a hard time letting that backside go. It doesn't look bad but the letters are backward....oh well, it's done now.

I appreciate your looking-I requested this name so I'm not sure of the font name.

And what exactly is wrong with this--I see nothing. Love the colors. Can't you give me a boost up to get anything done here??? Son's rice heat bag is waiting for me to stitch up--on my table pinned together and that is as far as I got. You are one quick chick.

If Jake loves this one like our little Nora does, we have nothing to worry.....unless he looses it!!!! Nora's 'Tag' is missing, since she went to the other G-ma's..........heard some crying........

Yes, I agree. I had both threads and she said it didn't matter, but I thought it would show better this way. Thanks for commenting-Toogie
