Here is the finished towel for Kari. I used four colors of embroidery floss, 2 pinks and 2 purples. I think it turned out nicely. The small embroidered charm is on the far corner of the towel. Kari really liked it. :)

Super Secret Embroidery Projects
I started embroidering floursack towels for some CoachCreativeSpace friends. I can't post pictures of them until they are finished and in the hands of their owners. I can post the progress I've made on the Love towel I'm making for Kari. She is in love, so I picked out these designs and the floss for her. I've made pretty good progress on it thanks to a couple movies and insomnia. Floursack towels are blank white towels that are really big, lots of room to embroider on! Kari has already seen what I've done so far. I did find out doing this that there's an art to doing iron-ons. It seriously helps to have the iron on the highest setting for half an hour before using the iron-ons. Makes a much darker image. I use all 6 strands of floss so it's easy to cover up the lines.
