I played with the sprites some today. I had gone out for lunch and light shopping with oldest DD yesterday. We went into Target and found bath mats on reduction. I picked up red and green, and decided to do some to give away for Christmas with the Sprites from KittyKitty. I used tearaway for the backing and light solvy for the top. I combined the alphabet letters with the Lucinda handwriting font which I had added to my software. I have done (3) designs to stitch out, and this was the first. This is a fun project. By combining the design for this HO HO HO - it now has 35,345 stitches, 31 color changes, and the design area measured 235.5mm H x 143.1mm W. - Not a bad little gift to give - and the bath mat was purchased at $1.48. It took me a while to do, but was interruped some, so can not tell you exactly how long it took to stitch out.
