I made these for my mother too - her name is Diana. I machine washed them after I'd done the embroidery to make sure they'd survive and not get spoilt! They have puckered a little bit but I still think they're good enough to give to her today. This is also the first time I have combined designs: I only have a 4x4 hoop and this is three separate designs, plus the letter. It took me ages to work out the positioning but I think I got it right. (I did a couple of practice stitchouts first, and I couldn't have done it without a water-soluble pen!) The designs are from Designs By SiCK's "Linens 4 x 4" collection, you get 39 designs for your $7.95! Now I've seen how these stitch out and worked out how to line them up, I will be embroidering some for myself and also for my daughter.
