I was totally surprized when I came back to the forum today and found Patty's PM informing me I had won last month's contest. Thank you all who voted for my towel sets! I actually did three different sets, but for one of them I did not use DBS designs. They were or are Easter / Mother's Day presents. I only entered them to the contest because Patty was so desperate when there were so few of us participating in April's contest...

I used new tea towels, they are of a high quality cotton-linen blend, which means although they are very finely woven, they are of sturdy, not so soft quality. Therefore I only hooped the stabilizer and pinned the towels on. Worked perfectly, no puckers at all. Actually I do not use "original" embroidery stabilizer, but medium weight Vilene-type interfacing, I still have many many metres left from former sewing projects. Works perfect for all embroidery projects that call for cut away stabilizer. I used a fine (size 70) sharp needle and viscose rayon threads. Some of the Vintage Diamonds flowers I stitched with variegated thread - I can highly recommend that! Adds some depth to the flowers.

I sewed the loop / hanger on the opposite side of the towel, so the motifs will show when the towel is hung (e.g. embroidery placed in the lower left corner --> hanger attached at the upper right corner).

Again - thank you! It was fun embroidering those towels, and it is even more fun seeing that they gained your recognition.

Good to see I am not the only one that uses interfacing for cut away. I have never purchased 'cut away' cause I thought interfacing was the cut away they were referring to.

This was a very tight race. Congratulations to all the winners. There were 3 that came in second. The first time that has happened. And the only one that did not win lost by only 1 vote. Since it was such a tight race I am going to award you all a design. 2nd and 3rd place get a choice of the bird or strawberry design. When you have a chance send me a private message with your email address and your design choice.The winner will get all 3 designs.

First, I would like to thank everyone who participated in this month's event. In my mind you are all winners.
I also have a great thought that came to me. How about, the winning entrant adding instructions on how to make their project. If a pattern is used then what pattern....

For this month's winners if you have instructions for your winning projects please post them here with pictures added with that post if not do not worry this is a new concept so we can apply this from now on.
I am posting each winning entree separate.

Congrtatulations to all the winners! I didn't get to vote this month, as I have been out of town a LOT and was away from my computer most of the time. Just had a minute to check in and looked here. All the projects were great!

Best of luck everyone.
Winners please send me a private message with your address and design you want.
Also if the winners could please post how they made their design. If a pattern was used what pattern. Otherwise mention type of stabilizer, how many layers of stabilizer used. Needle size used. If you washed or starched fabric to embroider the design.
Thanks everyone for making this such a successful event.
