You did a fabulous job. Love your colors and everything. My only suggestion is that I'd move it up about 2-3 inches next time. Not a deal breaker though.

Thank you so much for appreciating! I would keep in mind your suggestion next time. ..but actually this one is a small face towel so didnt move the design higher....should I still have??

It's just a preference of mine, but it isn't set in stone anywhere. Back in the 90's, when I first began, I looked at purchased items with embroidery and copied that. You are the fiber artist, so it is at your discretion where you put it.

Cute design, well stitched, level, probably centered. I'd be tickled to get this towel!

Well, I've been doing applique for years and years and you've done an exceptional job on the Star. I love the little chain stitch for the mouth, did you do that by hand? What sort of topping did you use - on towels I use a Glad Go-between or sometimes WSS (Water Soluble solvy the fibrous form not the plastic). I'm very impressed with your first attempt, now there is no stopping you. Congratulate your little 6 year old great colour choice. Love and blessings Chris, Newcastle, Australia

Thank you so much....your appreciation means a lot!:)
I didnt do the chain stitch by hand...just part of the design!
For the topping I used sulky solvy...the light plastic kind!
