Embroidery designs

 I've been slowly getting back into embroidering.  I don't have the time to do much after I get of work most days because we're working longer hours.  So I've decided to take more me time to do my crafty stuff again, especially before Christmas.  Here are a few things I've stitched out.  I've got to actually stitch them out on the final products, but just wanted to give you all a look as to how they were turning out.

The CAL logo is for a co-worker.  I found this online, and will stitch it out on a sweatshirt.  The colors aren't quite right yet, the yellow isn't the right color yellow, so I'll be off to the sewing store tomorrow or the next day.  Turned out not so bad though, I do have to tweek the settings because the bobbin thread showed through in a couple of spots.

 My sister-in-law works for a company called D.Hill Trucking, so I thought I'd try a little applique for her, I still need to practice a bit on the applique part. I  finally bought the fancy pair of applique scissors because they were on sale at JoAnn's. They work really well.  I just have to learn how to cut closer to the stitches so the fabric doesn't show through.

Lastly, is the hand towel for the Louisiana Family members.  Lately I've seen this saying all over, It's a Melanie Thing, it's a Cheryl thing.  So when I saw the Louisiana thing saying, I iknew I had to make those for the family.  I had a Louisiana State Applique that I found on Etsy at Rouge Embroidery.  I think it came out really cute.

I've got a ton more things to stitch out tomorrow.  Will post again with finished projects soon!
