What are you working on?

[Michelle]

I am getting ready to embroidery two kitchen tea towels. One towel is white with blue striping/edges and the other is plan white. I will be picking two designs from Aunt Martha's Java Break. I just can't decide which two I want to use.

Michelle,
What a great pattern! I love the "Coffee" design (cup of coffee w/ cupcake) it's too cute. I can see why it's so hard to decide - you know what this means? You'll just have to get more towels to embroider!! Have fun.

Michelle, have you picked your design yet? I just love the vintage tramsfers. Idon't do hand embroidedry even though I've tried it, but I want to use them for embroidering with my machine. I do computerized designs. My fingers get too tired by trying to do by hand. Post some pic's when you are done. Good Luck. karen

They are really cute designs for teatowels! I think I like the cup cake and coffee one too.
I've been working on a teatowel which was supposed to be for a friend's birthday in April but I've got sidetracked, so she might get it for Christmas...
It is from a packet of designs of 'dancing vegetables', and has a bunch of celery dancing with a teapot - corny but cute!

Hi Everyone,
Yes, I picked a design. I put two together. LOL I am going to try and upload a file, so you can see it. My friend does not eat cupcakes or other sweats, so I didn't pick that one. I would have, because I like sweats, but I don't like coffee. LOL I wish I had cut out the square pattern in the cup, so I could use something more exciting for the design. For this cup I am going to use the stem stitch and the square pattern will be done in back stitch and then an X the where the lines cross. This will probably be done in a goldish color. The Coffee is done in #938, cup is one strand of 931 and one strand of 932. The saucer will be done in two strands of 931. I want to fill the cup with a coffee color, but haven't picked that out yet. 938 is too dark and the other color I have is too light. LOL Good thing there are a gazillion DMC colors to pick from.

Gina E, I love those Dancing Veggies. I thought I had that one, but I don't. I do have Happy Fruit and another one I can't think of the name. I have attached a picture of the Happy Fruits. I'll see if I can find the photo of the other ones I have done. So far I have only done teatowels. I don't sew well, so haven't done the pillow or aprons that I really want to do. =)

Michelle, I really like what you're doing with the towels. The dancing veggies are terrific - where does the pattern come from? I'd like to embroider them on a towel as well. Great job and I like the colors as well,

[Michelle]

Hi Kath. I am sorry I didn't post a link to that before. I have bought my favorite patterns from Pattern Bee. You can find the dancing fruit under kitchen towels, and then under Dancing Dishes and Veggie Heads. I hope that is what you were looking for. My favorite pattern is not on her website, so I must have gotten it somewhere else. I'll have to post pictures of it later. It is dishes and veggies.

PatternBee is a great woman to order from. I get her stuff quickly and she is very kind.

Hi, I am getting ready to work on a set of dish towels for my daughter's birthday this summer. It wil probably take me that long to do them. I will take pictures when done and post them. I love seeing what other people do. It inspires me to get busy on my own things. Have a good day, DeeDee

[Gina E.]

Hi DeeDee, I'm looking forward to seeing your dish towel set! Isn't it funny how most of these old transfers end up being worked on tea towels or hand towels? But I guess they don't really fit tablecloths and doilies, LOL.

[Joyce Griffin]

I am just working on them now I am doing some sets for my daughters for Christmas. I will get some photos up soon, I have so far done seven with cartoon fruits and started the coffee ones last night I have four daughters and have set a goal of five tea towels each.

[Debbie]

Wow good goal Joyce. I Hope you meet the goal and share photo's. Another item I like to stitch on are pillow cases. Not the dancing veggies but other items like the old fashion deer and lasy daisy flowers. I usually add sweet dreams or something like that too. They are always welcome as Christmas presents in my family. Debbie S.
