Does anyone have an idea for designs on the border of a top bed sheet, for Avery? Her room is decorated in pinks. She has western, like cowboy NOT south western. She also has angels. See photos below.

A new set of sheets is part of her christmas gifts, this year. She needed some and I got them on sale-lol-anyway, they are white and I need to pretty them up!

We've been gifted several redwork cowgirls in different poses on Designs by SICK. (Check your stash.) They'd make a pretty, quick border and would be cute for her in bright pink.

I find just deciding what to stitch out takes a lot of time and head scratching. I open a new desktop folder and move the possibilities into it and mull it over for a day or two and then make my pick. Seems to help me. Good luck.

That may be what happens here, as I can't get anything done, right now.

why not use a soft floral material and add a border combine with embroidery

Embroidery Library had done a series of Sweet Dreams sets - the light stitching is great as it'll still look decent after washing and drying whereas sometimes heavy stitching requires a hit with an iron. Search linked is on pillow case.

I will take a look see. Thanks and I was thinking too, of redwork or line art, whatever it's called especially if doing all along the top edge.

I would guess from things you have written the Avery is a Strong, determined ,fighter and she is becoming a young lady now so I wouldn
't do anything too "babyish". No girls in our famiyl so I can't think of anything specific, maybe ask some tenagers at church or ones you know from you bus days.

Maybe you could use the outline of cowboy boots in pink (to match what she has) across the top. On the pillowcase "girls can be cowboys, too!"

Not for the sheets, but Embroidery Library's sale this week has an angel candle wrap for just $1.25 USD.

I like some of the ideas below. I learnt the hard way to use either linework or redwork designs on the sheets my girls aren't like my MIL who ironed every thing including the boys undies. lol. I did a couple a few years ago by Carolyn's Designs, I put them in projects(sorry don't know how to link).
If you wanted something a bit different what about a fabric scalloped edge similar to photo 2 or a prairie point edge. Marin

gee can't even spell my own name lol.. Marian

I did the prairie point for Noras bedding, Avery's is a wedding ring quilt in pinks and greens. I had thought of doing a maderia edge like I did on some of my heirloom dresses....I'm not sure......
I looked at all your projects/quilts. You have done an amazing job of all of them. Thanks for sharing your ideas and projects.

How about the words" Happy Trails To You" in rope font. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans closing words at every show. Or you could say "Sweet Dreams"
