A client asked me to embroider a towel, which in her case always means to digitise something. This time she needed a vinca major, so I made one - pict 1. But she wanted the petals to be a bit more pointed to match her friends tattoo. I never use white when digitising as it does not show up well in the software.

Next one was OK, colours her choice.

Beautiful job as always. Your placement is wonderful, too. I dislike seeing embroidery designs on the un-stitched bands near the bottom of towels. This really looks classy.

Thank you. I dislike half on, half off even more.

Could not add pictures in the comment, so Toogie, here's what I did.

Very nice indeed! The circle would make a nice doily and the corner perhaps, on each side of a jacket, center front hem. A lovely set, M.

I don't care for tattoos but I really like your design. You do so well. You must have made knock down stitches under the name, perhaps? How wide is the design? It would look good on a zipper bag or front on a tee shirt under the neckline....

Yes, I had embossing or knock-down stitches underneath the name as the towel is a thick one.
The size of the design is 6" wide, made a smaller one too (without the name) that measures 3.75"x 1.42"
Then started to play a little more and made a circle consisting of 5 of the designs, which ended up 7.5"
I also had fun with copy, paste and rotate to make a corner design ( 3.6"x 3.7")
Had not thought of a neckline, so thank you for that idea.

I thought you knew. Problem is some clients have trouble imagining what a different colour would look like.

I have vinca in the garden so I could get the shape right and match the green. No flowers at the moment but know what they look like and she wanted white anyway.

glad she was satisfied, some clients don't understand it takes time to digitize a specific design,
And matching the tattoo on a towel ? if it's on clothing to match...okay, but a matching towel .....?
But you did a great job again !!

I was surprised as well. I wonder if she'll take a picture of towel and tattoo - LOL.

Great design and embroidering. I have never heard of matching a design to a tattoo so that’s a first.
