Swanky: stylishly luxurious and expensive
Yes, that would be how I'm feeling after my latest embroidery project. I'm just sorry it took me so long to do it. What? What's that you say? What did I do? Well, I monogrammed our sheets! Yes, I did, and I love it. Or them. Whatever...
I've made many, many machine embroidered pillowcases over the years, starting back with my little Deco 600 sixteen years ago, and I love them. But lately I've wanted to up the swank, so to speak, and have a set of sheets that spelled (haha!) luxury. Every time I washed our sheets, as I put them back on the bed, I'd think, "I should monogram these right now," but then I'd decide to wait to a better time. Turns out yesterday was the day.
The above picture is of the band on the top sheet, monogrammed in the center. The letters come from OESD's Sterling Monograms and are absolutely gorgeous! I resized to fit the sheet band and they stitched out perfectly. I resized again for stitching on the pillowcase bands and again they stitched out perfectly.
When we bought our first queen mattress about twenty-five years ago, I made a decision to have all cream linens and blankets on our bed. They seem so restful, and I still just love having everything match. I'm also a huge fan of tone-on-tone for monograms, so that's what you see. I do indeed feel swanky! ♥
