I embroidered pillow cases and sheets for each of the children (6) for CHRISTmas one year. I also take a pretty piece of fabric and make neat little decorations with sayings for friends and place them in a wooden embroidery hoop. Then I surround the hoop with lace or decorative trim and it makes a cute little trinket for them to put on their wall. I also embroider initials on table napkins and handkerchiefs.
