Summer Kitchen Towel Project - Part One

I am making a new kitchen or tea towel.  For the embellishments, I am embroidering this sun motif 

and using some yellow trim tape for the hem:

I have the center of the sun finished.  I used the Stem Stitch for the outside of the circle and Back Stitch to fill it in.  This yellow and white floss is color variations perle cotton from DMC - the number is 4077.  

It matches perfectly with my trim tapes.  

I am looking forward to finishing this project and I will post my progress!
