Good morning Ladies and gents, (afternoon here)

These towels are the result of Martine (mops) digitising the Montvalley homestead for me.

We are taking Mum up there with us tomorrow for a pre-Christmas get together. John and Deirdre Colvin own the Montvalley winery and this is a replica of their home. The actual grapevines are not in front of the house as depicted here, but this is the emblem that is on all their bottles of wine.

Thankyou Martine, you are an absolute whizz! Love and blessings Chris

Forgot to add that John has a spa every morning and sometimes through the day and when he comes in off the land he is a bit dusty! So I specifically chose dark grey towels. They have a white bathroom! All the other 4 bathrooms in the homestead have white towels! I'm almost hesitant to use them when we've been outside in the dust and get dirty. Love Chris

Martine embossed these designs for me. I used Glad Go-Between Freezer Film on top of the towels - brilliant stuff and a medium weight Tear-Away stabliser on the base.

Hi Kim, it is always so nice knowing that a design digitised by Martine never fails to sew out properly. She does an awesome job. Thanks and love Chris

Thanks Leaha, we will. I know Deirdre will be thrilled with the Ham Bag and of course the two towels. I love dark bath towels, they hide all the grime! Love Chris

they turned out beautiful! i usually emboss with the colour of the towel, but this looks great!
i wish you a pleasant time with your friends and hope they'll love your work! I am glad I could be of help.

I found the grey too dark Martine, and it didn't stand out - so I did the white with the burgundy (for the colour of their red wines!!!!!) Thanks so much for helping me out. Love Chris

Thanks Marian, yes, grey or navy is a great colour. My bathroom downstairs for us is navy, upstairs in the guest bathroom it's greens and lemons! Love Chris

The two of you have made a wonderful team with these lovely towels. They are really impressive when you enlarge the picture and see the detail in the design. Have a wonderful time and a safe trip. Merry Christmas to all.
