3 towels and 1 blanket.

Every year an acquaintance of mine is host to one or more children from the Chernobyl area. This year too she asked me to embroider a couple of gifts.
The top left towel has Pluto - a design built in my Brother 190D. The botttom right has an old Husqvarna design. The other too are mine.
The lettering is always a challenge. I downloaded a free font, called Kremlin, from 1001FreeFonts and went from there.

Very nice gifts for the children. that is a great idea to give something they can take home to remember their visit.

There's always a blanket for 'her' child to use on the return journey plus a towel and a present for siblings. Then there's one of the other Russian children who is having a birthday on Thursday.

So was I, but I got them written down and had her check the designs. Still can't pronounce them.

It is alwasy important not to forget the siblings. I do love the cats. It is always a good idea to have the names printed so to stitch them correctly. Beautiful work.

That designs was an exercise in using the outline tool when I just had Embird. I should have done it with a tablet, instead I used the mouse, which took a lot of time.

Your towels look great. You did great on the ones your designs too. I also want to thank you for telling us where you got your fonts. I am going to check out that site as I seem to need fonts that I don't have every now & then.

---- I just went to the site and it is not for machine embroidery. It would be great for someone that know how to digitize like mops does though.
by mops 20 Jun 2012
Sorry I did not make that clear.
Funny thing is the font is a complete set, but I could not access the ´foreign´ letters in my software so I had to improvise after all.
