A while before Christmas I was a
Tuesday morning shopping and came across some solid color dish towels. I figured I could doll them up so I picked up 2 stacks of them. Along came December and I began trying to figure out what to do with them so I could give them to Amy and Gabriele. I looked on etsy.com and some other stores online. I popped into the
Anthropology shop online and found some really cute towels for $18-24 each!!
So now I had some inspiration...so I checked my fabric stash. I found a fabric with images of sweets. I cut the images out and then stitched them onto the towels. Going around all the outside edges and also stitching in some of the details.
Then I thought about how owls have made a comeback (my granny collected owls in the '70's). So I took some coordinating prints, drew up a pattern, cut them out and stitched them together.
The rest just got bands of some cute fabrics and trims...I think they turned out really cute. Maybe I should make some up for myself!
They definately have the handmade look that
Anthropology charges so much for!

I think I will need some of those when I move into my new house, whenever that is.
