Now don't all collapse from shock, I've actually done some embroidery. LOL!

This design, from Designs by Sick, turned out rather well considering the towel is probably thicker than any I've ever purchased. The design size is 3" top to bottom, left to right. I made this for my Sister's Partner who looks like Santa. He plays Santa every Christmas for different children's groups and at the local shopping centre. He keeps his beard all year round and when children spot him they all think he's Santa, they call out to him and he always plays the part. It's very touching watching him and his interaction with children. I'll post a pic of Santa in Q&A. Thanks for peeking. hugs n roses, M

This looks nice. The orange is quite striking on the dark (black or dark grey?) background. Flower for you.

Black is correct Mops and it's actually a red but it doesn't reproduce very well in photo. hnr, M

I have missed the letters because I have had my mother for visit. It was a whole week with me. We have spent a wonderful time and have undertaken a lot. That's why I had had to switch on no time my computer. But even though to thanks for the tip. Flowers for you

I think this looks gr8. The first I've seen where the letter is empty with towel peeping through I really like it. *4U

That looks realy nice, I tries a little bear embossing on a proof towel but didn't use WSS. Will do it next time and look what the difference is. *4U

Big difference Iris, if you use WSS stitches stay on top of toweling instead of sinking in. Try it you'll see. hugs n roses, M
