Need an idea, quickly!!

My embroidery club meets tonight and since I was away last month, I missed the assignment.  I just asked someone and found out that the assisgnment is "something summery".

That's pretty vague, I know, but I can't think fast enough this morning.  Help me with some ideas, please!  Some past projects are: Tea towels, hankies, coin purses, etc but I am looking for other ideas.  Anyone???

Re: Need an idea, quickly!!

  • I don't know anything about embroidery but these are the first things that come to mind:

    tote bag
    light scarf that could be tied around the head or waist
    wide fabric headband
    canvas belt
    bookmark with a summery theme
    coasters

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • I don't embroider either, but my first thought was one of those wide headbands (something like this)

  • How about an embroidered beach towel or large tote bag for beach gear?

    I'm a big fan of switching out my dish towels for the seasons. Great summer ones could include flowers, vegetables, fireworks, etc.

  • coasters or  a cup/can cozy
  • Ooo, great ideas, all.

    The object of this is a swap; where those who participate put their "gift" in the center and when the discussion comes around, you get to pick another "gift".  They are usually something really small.  I may just do a summer tea towel because I have them on hand.

    Thanks for the help!

    ETA: Oh, and I am probably the youngest in the group so headbands, not much!Wink

  • How about a beach themed thing (anchor, nautical, lighthouse, sand dollar, starfish) on the towels, aprons, or even a beach towel.
