I started a new gift for my small group girls birthdays this year, last year was a 
tatted heart necklace and this year will be monogrammed tote bags!  I got a set of ocean blue totes that are the perfect size and I'll personalize each one as their birthdays come!  The first one is Amanda!

I used Word to get a large letter in a font that I think she will enjoy and printed it out.  I then cut out the "A" and traced it onto fabric.  Amanda loves green and things that are unique.  I cut around the "A" leaving fabric to needle turn the applique on.

Here is the finished applique, I hand sewed it into place.  It was a little tricky, but I think it turned out well.

Then I cut out some different sized circles and created yo-yos, trying to be random but with unity (LOL is that a contradiction? LOL) and placed buttons on top of them, all of which is hand sewn into place.  Anyway I hope she loves it!
