Case By Case Basis

This is mostly for Mom - just so she can see the two sets of pillowcases that I am preparing to ship out with other wedding presents to two couples who recently got married. I think this is the 8th and 9th set of pillowcases on which I've embroidered monograms this year. I am feeling quite a bit behind and need to finish a few more VERY soon. It is relaxing for me to sit and embroider a little while in the evenings before bed, while listening to sermons, on my lunch hour... I guess I pack the embroidering in more frequently when I feel I'm under a time crunch. But, usually, I do it just a few of evenings a week. I attempt to pick a design/ style that reminds me of the couple, so here's sort of a modern P and a very flowery M. Hope the two couples will enjoy them, and I hope to make a trip to the store next week to pick up some new pillowcases.

As usual, they look great. You may have given me the urge to get a project going myself. Mom

Thanks, Mom. I appreciate it when you leave a comment. And, I'm very excited to hear that. We also need to get your sewing machine set up in the green bedroom for various other projects... like maybe making a quilt together!

Beautiful, Strem! I love the white on white technique. Very classy.
We were inspired this week by a skirt book on another blog, and are planning to get out the sewing machine in August and introducing teenager to the world of sewing.
