this a gift from a daughter to her mum for Mothers Day...uploading another photo for comparison hope I haven't loaded twice...hugs Sally

Beautiful design love cream but the brown set brings out the design much more.

It is beautiful, but I would choose a pale, light green for the flower leaves and try a darker colour for the embossed part(a brown tone) maybe like your choice for the leaves. And then remember that some peoples don't like too many bright colours or big contrasts, so I think a "pale" version could be quite beautiful.
By the way I love colours - the more the better, but I can also see that sometimes "less is more".
If possibel, show them a sample and get their accept or their ideas for colour choice.

wELL I LOVE IT GREAT JOB HUGS

Cream wouldn't have been my first color choice; but I think this towel is lovely anyway.

looks good..

I like conny's idea of a pale light green for the leaves. What about more of a buttery yellow for the flowers, instead of golden yellow?

Lovely for both of them. Swans are serene and if you visualize them in a marsh land area these would be perfectly in nature.

I'm not sure what it would look like...but have you thought about blue flowers, green or brown leaves, and black swans? The metaphor meaning of a black swan is un unexpected event. I hope it wouldn't be misunderstood. If you used a dark charcoal grey thread with the silver grey a bit darker it would stand out on the cream towel a lot more.

they look very nice

Depends whether she likes understated designs. Cream towles do seem to be popular!

very nice job!

Ich mag es wie es ist,sehr schön

Your embroidery is perfect and the towel is beautiful. But I see why you are not fully satisfied. You have done it before with a diffent colorscheme which made it stand out more and you liked it more. Nothing wrong with this one though. I for one would love it in my bathroom.

Sally it is lovely, love the tone on tone. Hugs Yvonne

I ready like them. As far as the done the cream color towel, this would look ready good in my bath, the cabinet are done with the white and cream color.

I agree with some of the other comments. I prefer the darker towel for more contrast, but I see nothing wrong with the cream towel. You can still see all the detail. You did a very nice job too.
Hugs, Susan

Sally it is more of a tonal set - I like it - let us know what your DIL thinks.

it looks very good, but I would look even better if the towl had the color a little bit darker.

I really like the swans you did a great job!, Did you ever think about making them black?

Very pretty design. But not on this color of towels.
