Spit cloths

Did some spit cloths for a new baby as well as embroidering some crosses and monograms for our friendship group named Amistad (Spanish for friendship).  And buying other background fabric for my heart quilt after my choices was shredded to pieces by my fiends. 😀

After having twin daughters 3 years ago, their parents was blessed by a boy.  They ordered the spit cloths in December but with my machine broken at the time, I was unable to embroider them in time.  But they are done now and will be on their way tomorrow.

I embroidered some crosses for some of my friends who joined our quilting group later and missed out on these beautiful bookmarks.  I always embroidered them in white, but use a beige this time and I think they look better than the white one's.  You be the judge.

The white one

and the new beige one.

I also visited all of the local quilting shops in vain to try and find two coordinating background fabrics and settled with only one background.  I also bought a yellow/orange/gold piece just to brighten up all of the dark colors.  Below are my new selection.
