Towels
An acquaintance asked me to embroider 3 towels for a grandnephew of hers. He was born in the year of the dragon under Aquarius and named after a Dutch river, the Maas. So there had to be a dragon, something river-like and his name. This is what I came up with. She did not like the dragons you Cuties mentioned, wanted a fierce one. I'm waiting for her to collect them and am curious what she'll think of them.

The towel looks nice. Maybe I'm oldfashioned but I never would name my child after a city (even when I love Heidelberg so much), rivers, fruits or seasons. This has no history here in Germany and if you yell out "Wind come home we have lunch now" on the playground people would think you are crazy :o)

I found it a bit strange as a first name. Cities and rivers have been used as family names with Van (von) in front, like Rembrandt van Rijn (our way of spelling the river Rhein) to take a famous one.

Clever the way you done it. A farm close to us is called "Maastrich"

He is a very handsome dragon - most suitable for St David's Day!

Thanks, I like him, but had to remove a couple of awkwardly placed stitches once I'd tested him. I think I'm getting more and more finicky, just want designs to stitch out perfectly :(

My husband would LOVE that design, sans the name of course. I think you did a fantastic job of the lines under the dragon; it gives a very nice movement. Love your work!!!

Thank you. The request was rather unusual, the hardest thing was to 'marry' the unrelated elements into one design. I'm glad you like it!

Thank you; he's a bit too young to appreciate it, but hopefully his parents will.
