ANOTHER ENDEAVOR

I wanted to make name tags for Mary and I for our QOV sew days.  I much admit, the machine embroidery unit for my sewing machine had a lot of dust on it--it has been years since I have used it.  I did take way too long to figure out how to make these but I persevered!  I just need to purchase some pin-backs 
so we can wear them!
I need more Mandala yarn for the granny blanket I am making so I dug this skein out of the stash to start a new one 
but the color changes are too close 
and didn't look as good as those long color changes!
I decided to make a C2C and it is so very nice in this DK yarn!

  2. It took me a minute to see Lena's paw in the first picture. The name tags are so pretty!

    I'm a fan of Lion Brand. Some people seem to look down their noses at it, but I like it very much.

  3. Cute little tags! Dad used to love to watch the embroidery machines working in the display they had at Joann’s. It would keep him out of trouble while I shopped…lol.

  4. I’ve wondered about the shorter color changes, so thanks for answering that for me! :) It will be fun to watch the c2c colors develop. -Marsel

  5. I'd ask if you ever sit still, but we all know the answer is not often! LOL. Love those fossil finds, how exciting!

  6. Nice name tags! I want to embroider some dish towels for the camper but since I don't have a fancy machine, I'll need to do it by hand. Ha! I like the corner to corner. The colors look great.
    Blessings and hugs,
