Nintendo dish towels!

I made these for my brother with embroidery...I bought some blank flour sack towels and used a light box to transfer the design. He loved em!

Very neat! Did you fill in the letters of "Nintendo" with a satin stitch?

These look really nice. I've never done embroidery, but it looks really cool. Handmade gifts are always the best! I bet your brother loved them!

[wafflesmama84]

Yes jadely I did indeed use satin stitch to fill in the letters. I still haven't perfected that type however! And my brother loved em!

Those are great! I've always wanted to try embroidery but fear that I would be terrible at it. Cross-stitching forces you to have regular, even stitches and follow a pattern, while embroidery is more free form. Plus, there are so many more stitches to use!

Keep up the good work :-)

Wah! I love the puffy look! It's so stylized! Nintendo has never looked more cuddly. :D

As much as I love pixel-by-pixel cross-stitched accuracy, I also love it when people freshen things up with a new technique like you have here.

Ha ha cuddly! Thank you very much for the compliments guys! Embroidery is very fun and addicting. I find it faster than cross stitch.
