I love fleece... the fact that you don't need to finish the edges is super nice. I did so anyway with some yellow thread to go with the whole John Deere theme. Just a basic zigzag stitch. Did that today. The embroidery... well, I printed the initials on a sheet of paper and pinned it to the fabric, then later thought better of it and partway through the H grabbed my cross stitch (that is still unfinished) and used the wooden loop to make the fabric tight with the pattern on it. Then, I just worked on the letters in the way one would right them, starting with the top left and working my way down! It took a number of hours, but I like it!
One more project down... still many to go. At least this one was able to join the others under the tree today!

This is beautiful.. you do such lovely work!
Have a great weekend!
Oh, I love embroidery! I have done several large-scale cross-stitch embroideries over the years, and even though time is not always on my side these days, stitching it still one of my favourite indulgent activities, even if it is just half an hour at a time. I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
I have a cross stitch that's 6 years old that I barely started... I should work on that again, lol
