An Unusual Show Donation

Danielle Feldman is hosting a chicken themed photo show this coming spring called "Why the Chicken Crossed the Road." It promises to be a super fun show, and Danielle is making a lot of the prizes herself. (She is an outstanding artist.)

We've been friends for years so I wanted to send her some donations for prizes. But Danielle already makes haversacks, so I decided to come up with something different for her show.

Boy howdy, did I hit the JACKPOT when I found this embroidery pattern. Wouldn't this look great on kitchen towels?

Since I only began embroidering last September, I didn't want to get in over my head. I checked the color sequence chart

and the stitch map before starting. While it would not be an easy stitch out, I felt I could handle it.

I am so happy with how the towels turned out. The one on the left is the first one I made and follows the color chart sequence, but I played with the colors on the other two.

It's an unusual show prize, that's for sure, but when I sent Danielle the photos to make sure she was okay with my donation, she was excited about them.

I am, too, and now I want to make more towels for donations as well as sell them on the HorsieMama Mercantile. I bought some other embroidery patterns with horses on them and am experimenting today.

Stay 'tooned!
