The embroidery machine and I are becoming pretty good buddies now. I have learned a lot - and still more to learn. Learned one thing - good stabilizer is certainly a key to having a successful job.

I decided the other day instead of just running a series of misc. type patterns to do something useful. Then thought about the idea of making towels to fasten to the handle of the oven door. I had made a couple of these several years ago as just plain ones - no decorating - just very simple. During the last Wal-Mart run I picked up several kitchen towels.

Here are pictures of the ones I made - looked for a rooster pattern but they were out - in the cheaper ones...could have got one for $5.00 - but did not want to spend that much money for just playing around.

Guess whose kitchen gets this one?

For darling daughter when I go up there in a few days.

This is one of the patterns on my machine. This one will probably wind up in my kitchen also.

I might purchase additional towels and make up some more. I think they would make nice additions to wedding shower gifts....especially if I know what color their kitchen will be decorated in.

I already had the fabric, batting and most of the buttons. I did buy the black buttons as I knew I did not have any that would work in my button stash.

Time wise they don't take too long...just trying to figure out what words to use to go along with the pattern of the towel could test my pea sized brain. Must say the whole process was interesting and fun.

Anyone got any ideas of what else I could make - something fun and out of the ordinary.
