Fatigue is the best pillow. ~Benjamen Franklin

This pillow is for sweet little Jonah, who lives in Birmingham. His
room is decorated in primary colors, and we had a blue dish towel at the store, so I thought this was an easy way to do a quick gift.
I fiinally bought the Designer Plus version of the Artista software! This is my first project, and I love how easy the lettering was to do. I am not sure of the font that I used, I think it may be London, but I just typed in his name and enlarged it. I changed both the fill stitch and the underlay to a step stitch, since I enlarged the name a good bit. Then it was as simple as going to the icons on the left, clicking on the Outline Tool, and choosing a triple straight stitch. There is a box to check for Outline Holes, and I had to go back and check that because the inside of the O and A did not get the outline on my first attempt.
Jonah's little sister, Julie, gets the next pillow. I hope to finish it soon!
p.s. Since when is embroidery not sewing? As long as you had your lipstick on, I think it counts.
