I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Easter - belated posting but I think it still counts. It was a jammed full weekend of activity around here - no quilting but got some ebroidery done which was great. Yesterday, Jody and I celebrated 9 years together so I decided to embroider a fun crawfish design on an apron he can use for boiling crawfish, which is a ritual type event that happens on most weekends here in south Louisiana, especially on a holiday weekend like this one. I think it turned out great.
I also created some fun crawfish towels that I gifted to our friends Missy and Sonia who hosted us at their home today for a crawfish boil. I created them from a bunch of inexpensive kitchen towels I picked up at IKEA a while back - they were quite inexpensive and the redwork crawfish was fun - put my digitizing experience to a test but it turned out great.
I also need to repost a photo of the quilt Mom created for us -- I had neglected to place the quilt on the bed correctly to show the "shadow boxes" of the design - so now, that I have placed it on the bed correctly, thanks Mom, I can see the design beautifully.

Well happy anniversary to you two! That is one happy crawfish you embroidered on the apron and towels. I think I have those towels from IKEA, I use them for pressing clothes in the sewing room. I see what your mother means about the quilt - it does look better turned the proper direction. I learned something new - thanks mom!
OMG, CRAWFISH!!!! I am so begging an invitation to your next one!!
The quilt is gorgeous - and I love all your embroidery projects! Waytago, Rick! Oh, and congrats to you two!!
