This design was created for the Do-It-Herselfer class on plumbing. If they can figure out the design, then they have the logical skills for do-it-yourself jobs.
These customers wanted their personalities to be reflected in their names.
This customer wrote his signature in black felt pen then decided he wanted me to put it in thread. I scanned his apron, digitized the signature and embroidered it over the black felt pen ink. Because the apron had been washed and the ink had run, I added a black border on the inside and outside of the signature.

I started a small embroidery business in July of 2007 and have been loving every minute of it. It's a true labor of love.
I've been sewing since I was about 9. Trust me that was many, many decades ago. Machine embroidering was a natural direction to go.
