Embroidery has taken a turn towards the modern side of things, thanks to Sublime Stitching!
Awhile back I purchased an embroidery kit by Jenny Hart {founder of Sublime Stitching}, and I fell in love with embroidery. I like small projects, ya know, something that takes an hour or two and you’ve created something pretty. This works for me! I guess I have a short attention span.
The tea towel above only took a couple of hours while watching a movie. It’s simple, but a nice little touch of something special for the kitchen.
This palm tree was the very first tea towel I made. It’s been washed a ton and still looks great. Maybe that’s because I followed the directions and patiently prewashed my towels.
Here’s the fruit of my labor…a strawberry. Most of her patterns are not fruit and flowers. You’ll have to check out her site to find your favorite set. They make wonderful gifts! I just gave my mom a towel with the Eiffel Tower on it…in pink.
All three of these towels were made with patterns that came in this wonderful kit!
The box, book, and everything in this kit are pretty. Really pretty.
You can order patterns that are so much fun. I bought pirates for my son’s towels, because he loves anything to do with pirates. And travel and beach themed patterns for the fun of it. They can be used over and over again…ya gotta love that!
Now you can try it for yourself! Sublime Stitching has been kind enough to give Everything Etsy a $10 GIFT CERTIFICATE to give away! That’s enough for two sets of patterns, or use it towards one of their kits.
Have you embroidered anything lately?

I’ve been wanting to learn to embroider. These look like sweet, enjoyable projects to do. I’d love to be a winner!
I love embroidery, and I <3 ALL things etsy! I got really into sewing for awhile when I was pregnant with my 4th. Then we moved… school started ( I homeschool 2 of my 4) and then life happened. This would be PERFECT to get me back into the swing of things, AND I could incorporate this into school to teach my girls! I hope I win!!

I made my mom a pair of pillowcases about a year ago. She likes them so much that she’s afraid to use them.
