A New Gig
Carrie and Megan have been visiting with me for the last year about what I might be able to help them with in regard to the skate club that Carrie and Megan belong to. I include Carrie as Megan needs her personal driver. The hangup has been the logo that they have wanted.
Who knew that Grammie would have people. People that digitize a design for embroidery to be stitched out via a shared photograph. It did take quite a bit of back and forth as Grammie and computer files and folders . . . give me a break. Last week when it was a trial and error, I must have been up and down the basement steps to the sewing studio . . . more times than Dennis could count. No . . . I did not think of taking the HP Notebook down into the sewing studio. I have solid glutes.
This morning the sun was out and a new file was tweaked and my flash drive almost did a jig when all things came together. The project is not for use for some time. I will need that time. 
The project is 80 plus towels for the skate club members to wipe their skates off when they come off of the ice. The towels would be a gift during the year end banquet. The file was handed off with the logo and it will be up to me to work my whiles on my computer program to add each of the girls’ name on each of the towels. The end result of my programming skills will allow name and logo to be loaded so it stitches out as one design. Hooping the towel for a second time for the name, getting it centered, would also eat up a duplicate amount of stabilizer. It was one thing to stitch it out on cotton fabric. 
I hunted high and low for a terry towel that I could do the demo on. Dennis is the ultimate judge but he can’t be unbiased. He thought the terry towel came out great. When I mail this demo to Carrie, she will share with those who are in on that aspect of the skate club. Time will tell. Carrie is in charge of finding the towels.
We did get our acre mowed today. It looks great. This week is starting off in good stead.
