Sorry to hear about West Virginia. I think that's a call to design your own!

Here's how my Washington pillow turned out (and now my friend has given me a Montana towel, so it's back to work...)

Wow Mel! That looks G-R-E-A-T !!!

I ordered up Colorado & USA...

Mel, are you there? I love your Washington State embroidered tea towel, and yes, two years later, I'm still thinking about this project. (Note: thinking, not yet doing!) You are probably an accomplished needleworker, but I am not. Did you follow any particular stitchery when doing the towel? I notice some areas are "broad" while others are more like lines or tracery. How did you determine embroidery stitches to use, to cover the larger areas neatly? I think I can figure out the lines and smaller areas, but I'm hesitant to begin and mess up the areas with more stitching required. What did you do? Thanks for sharing, if you don't mind! ~G

It did turn out very nice...as a matter of fact, I was working on my Colorado tea-towel-soon-to-be-pillow this last weekend - that's what reminded me of this thread. I'm almost done with mine - then on to the USA one. I plan on having them both done before spring...Birdy's beds will be done & ready for them later this month.
