I was walking through Wal-Mart a couple of months ago when I noticed some fleece jackets on clearance. They didn't have any design on them. Logan, my 18 month old grandson, loves to make the "Ribbit" sound of a frog and he has recently learned how to say frog. It comes out a little more like "fog" but is pretty cute in his little toddler voice.
I looked at those plain jackets and thought they would be the perfect place to embroider some frogs. I was going to put them away until next fall but then realized that the kids were growing by leaps and bounds and I needed to get hoppin' !
I used a nice soft flannel that had little green frogs and bees on it. In retrospect, I may have used a different material . The frog material would be great for a larger area. I still think they turned out cute and the kids LOVED them.
Do you have a child or grandchild who loves frogs? They would be cute on many different things. Pillows, blankets, shirts, bags, etc. You can add words such as I did or you can add a name.
I'm a wife,mom,grandmother, and registered nurse. I started hand painting burp cloths when my son was born in 1980. I am now embroidering those burp cloths and MUCH MORE! I love helping my customers come up with the perfect customized designs for their own use or to give as gifts.
