To be effective and beautiful embroidery doesn't need to be complex or ornate. You can take a simple stock design and add lettering to it and come up with a perfect design solution for just about any garment or home decor item. I merely combined a rooster from my "Barnyard Birds" collection with the words "King of the Barnyard" which I translated in Compositions project based embroidery software to French and created a kitchen towel perfect for any Provencal culinary experience.
