J got his way, and his serviette now has his initial embroidered in black. We are not going to mistake who this one belongs to, even if I do an initial on mine. Mine definitely won't be black!I stitched this using satin stitch in two strands of DMC 310 then outlined in split stitch. I now have to do a D in red.
After the black letter, I went for a bit of colour.
Each letter of the alphabet is stitched in a different colour DMC thread. I just worked my way through my box. This will be made into a pin cushion. I will have to look through my fabric trunk and find something suitable.The boys have swimming today, and I am well prepared this time. I have J's jumper to finish and sew together and a huge book to finish. As I am only on chapter 9, it should keep me going for as long as they want to be swimming.
