 I know this is my vinyl blog but since I also enjoy doing embroidery I thought I'd add some projects I've been doing lately for that as well.  I do all custom embroidery.  A friend of mine asked me to put some names on blankets for Christmas gifts.  That was a lot of fun and they turned out wonderfully.  She was very happy with them.  And yes, there is some weird stuff under the name.  That's the stabilizer.  Some things need stabilizer on the top and the bottom.  In this case there was too much fuzz to not put some stabilizer there.  It's water soluable and will dissolve when it gets washed.  Nobody will ever know it was there.  Except for everyone since I just told you. 
I am blessed to make the baby blankets for all the sisters in my church that have babies.  This is one that I just finished.  Doing names personalizes things and I always think they look nice when they're done, but adding a picture is my pride and joy.  It's a lot of work to make the embroideries myself but the finished product always makes it worth it.  I wish I would have taken better pictures of everything else I've made.  Oh well.
