I've been playing around with my new embroidery machine. Here are some of the things I've done. The butterfly was my first attempt. I put it on an old washrag.
Mama wanted A's put on her pillow cases. I did 3 sets.
I made my brother-in-law some candy for his birthday and used this kitchen towel for wrapping paper. This was tricky because I had to do one line at a time. I'm gonna play with some free software that will, hopefully, let me program several lines at once.
I also put his name on a bath towel...
...and some flowers on a hand towel and wash rag. As it turned out, the flowers didn't show up too well against the brown towels.
The other day I bought some new designs that I want to use for baby quilts. I've started embroidering one - I'll be doing a little at a time as I have a few spare moments - and I'll post pictures when I finish. I plan to offer them for sale on Etsy.

Pearls!
Yesterday I added some jewelry to my shop, including some pearls. Here are a couple of samples. I was working on a pearl bracelet when my pearl reamer broke, so I've gotta order a new one. When it arrives I can finish the bracelet, make some more earrings, and make another strand of pearls. In the meantime I'll be working on other items. Click here to see what else I added.
