my first applique

growing up, my mom would give personalized name/initial towels as gifts for every occasion. the initial prototype was made of puff paint, but eventually it progressed to applique. seriously, if you knew me between the ages of 7-18 and i was at your birthday party or graduation party, you probably possess one of these treasures,

my mom even embroidered all of our wedding registry towels. so, when i hung newly purchased towels on our towel rack, sans any initials, i knew i had to take matters into my own hands. 

i present to you my first applique attempt, i made an "A" one for andy too, but it's not pictured.
