The gift to my granddaughter has been posted and received, so now it’s time to show it. Megan and her boyfriend have recently bought a home, and we are very proud of their achievement. Of course she needed a house warming gift – luckily I had already started an embroidered tea towel for Megan and her sister, so I was half way there. With the embroidery complete, I added fabric borders to finish them off.
Ready for the top and bottom borders
How about a matching double handed oven mitt to go with it, I thought. I used up the remaining scraps of the cupcake fabric and added another couple of fabrics too. I like to use sacking on the back of these, to made them hard wearing. Here I am up to the stitching the binding down stage.
Finishing up the oven cloth
Last week the gift was packaged up and put in the post, and arrived safely a few days later. The tea towel was embroidered using the wonderful Stitcher’s Revolution transfers, from the Cute Kitchen Sayings series.
Happy House Warming, Megan and Michael
