Hooded Towels

Between going camping, having a garage sale, and my family reunion* coming up next week (I'll be gone 29 June-9 July) I haven't gotten much time to post. But here's what I've been working on.
I made this hooded towel for a friend's baby shower. She is having a boy, and her nursery is blue with frogs.I embroidered (with one of my two fonts on my machine) the baby's name on the hood of the towel.All my future towels are going to have the pleats facing the other way. I wanted to applique some cattails on there, but I ran out of time and energy after camping with the teen girls in my church.The frog and letter are both home made appliquesTrying to finish, my husband was begging me to hurry up so he could snap some pictures. ^-^
I've already made a second towel. I made it for my daughter. I haven't quite finished it yet though, I still need to design the animal (a cat) and sew it on there. I'll take pictures and post them once it's finished.

*NOTE: My family reunion is out of state. I will resume sewing after 9 July. I will check my email as often as I am able while away.
