Dishtowel Swap

Last week I embroidered a floursack dishtowel. When the embroidery was complete, I trimmed up the bottom with red ric-rac and one of my favorite 1930's prints. Then I pressed it and folded it nicely.....
I wrapped it up in a box and tied it with a big red bow. I put a tag on the ribbon and signed it from me. I had hopes that whoever opened it would smile with delight...more tomorrow...

  7. I have that little pattern too. When you embroider straight onto the towel do you put anything on the back like iron on interfacing? or just stitch straight onto the towel?
