A Creative Endeavor

Tuesday brought about a small period of time when I could use some creative skills.  Prior to Mom getting sick, I had been working on some machine embroidery designs for  my neighbors.  They have a small store and sell the best homemade ice cream in town - and maybe in the state.  They also have helped me out with many things and I am doing this as  a "Thank You" to them.

Using some software that I have had for a long time and only recently got to work for me, I created the lettering.  (The software is Embroidery Fonts Plus and it is a free download.) I had asked them what they wanted and it was pretty simple - just words, no pictures.
They also brought me a shirt for each of them on which to embroider the design.

Please note, these shirts haven't been washed after embroidering.  And they look better in person than in the photo.
The larger design is the one he chose.  The smaller one was her choice
.  I learned a bit more about hooping for a logo design on a t-shirt 
while I was getting ready to do these.  
I am pretty happy with the results.

Very nice! I'm sure they will be wearing them with pride while answering questions about where the shirts came from. Nice gesture!

WOW! That's a very nice "Thank You" - and you may have found yourself a new "business" as well as "creative" endeavor - ;))

What a nice gift -- and a fun project to do too.
