I think of many, an apron, a tote,a beach bag, laundry bag, all of them with cute embroidery designs on Of Course!

what is the material. Is it burlap?

There are 2 cute projects on emblibrary and even instructions on how to embroider burlap.

Carolyn, I see you have a couple of suggestions and ideas. Be sure to post a pic in the projects when you get it finished. ;o}Terre

Sounds just like my husband

You could do a tote, a beautiful lamp shade, and so many things.*

Carolyn, see you have been given some great ideas, Here is 1 from me, what about a mat, with foot prints embroidery on it. - Hugs Yvonne

Isn't that just like a husband. Why don't you get him involved in making the project. I'm sure whatever you decide will look wonderful when it's finished.

you've been given some great suggestions I know you will come up with something great. Post it when it is done so we all can see.

Your question reminded my of this funny joke. Enjoy!

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 60

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.

With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.

Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags.

Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level.)


After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.

I like the idea of a large tote embroidered with design and a very bright funky lining....hope to see the finished product.
Another thought...if you have a country style kitchen it would look great framed and hung.

Burlap would make a great bag for your husband to use with any sports he is interested in. Oh, I just thought; it would make great placemats for watching baseball, football, etc games. They would be masculine and washable, great combo.
