The machine embroidery designs available for summer and the beach are more than adorable. I'd have a hard time making up my mind which designs to choose.
Appliques and applique fonts are bold and make such a statement. Whenever I have to embroider something for children, I tend to go with applique designs.
The three beach huts are perfect to embroider on a towel - both for adults or children. The design includes the applique but not the font.
Every time I see beach houses in a row, it reminds me of the colorful beach houses on Muizenberg beach. Way back when I was expecting our first daughter we visited the Western Cape (South Africa) and I 'overtanned', if that is even a word!
Why am I even telling you this?
Maybe, to demonstrate that we have an affinity, a sentiment with certain places, images, smells and tastes.
Some of us, store patterns from a shirt, rocks from a beach or beach huts in our memories!
