Brat, you can't please everyone, but you sure bend over backwards trying! You are the best.
I do need to be contrary and contradict one thing you said: Not everyone loves machine embroidery. I guess I am the odd one out but I really don't care for machine embroidery. Hand embroidery is lovely (but way to much work!), but to me, machine embroidery spoils the handmade look. Yes, I know I probably stand alone in this!
Not complaining, just clarifying. I wouldn't send any mug rug back!
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. We got some beautiful weather and today is even milder and sunnier than yesterday. I've already been out throwing the frisbee with the dog.
