OH NO! That sounds like something I would do! The first time is always for practice anyway!
Good luck with the real one!

LOL-Sarah, you should have told him you did that purposely because he made it such a memorable year that you wanted to keep it in your heart and let everyone know it was such a great year...in embroidery ??? Ok...maybe not ~guess maybe DH will be your proofreading before stitching now. ~linda~

Just so funny and so like something I would do, but look at it this way.....your floor will now be treated with 'high fashion' with a newly made embroidery towel.....
Give it to the person any way and tell them that you are saving them "Some Time"!!
Thank you all for your comments. I will have to do another one as it was for an elderly lady's special birthday and it was her year of birth. Oh well - practice makes perfect!!!

You use it - or keep it as a sample of your lovely work - to show another - so they can see just what you do - for birthdays!
Oh how I feel for you. I am never able to proof read my own work. I think my brain says 'You did it so it must be right' or it only sees what I was trying to do and not what I actually did!!!!
IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF US AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS YOU JUST WANT TO SCREAM SO LOUD AND THEN A LITTLE LATER SAY, 'OH ITS OK, I'LL MAKE ANOTHER ONE' I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!
