Burp Cloths


Don't really dig cross stitch crap but think it is cute for baby stuff like bibs and burp cloths.
Here baby, please burp and throw up on this nice cotton towel that I stitched and personalized with your name.

Embroidery on terry cloth toweling


Completed this embroidery experiment on an old handtowel.
Lesson learned AFTERWARDS: When embroidering on looped terry cloth, prepare fabric by ironing the towel in one direction to "smush" down the loops.
  • The circles were drawn on with water soluble ink pen using coins as template.
  • Stitches employed: split, satin, running, backstitch and interlaced running stitch.
  • Lime green embroidery floss and aqua heavier pearl cotton.

(The grosgrain ribbon actually matches the floss but appears darker.)
