Doing some hand stitching!

I think things are settling a bit for me .... I managed to pick up a needle and do a bit of hand embroidery. I love to stitch towels ... once the design is stitched, it's a done deal ... no further piecing needed.

I've been working on the pattern Chick Towels by Yesterday's Charm. Such a cute pattern!


Here is the second set of patterns, seven towels in all!


They are stitched on flour sack towels (28" x 28"). I much prefer this size of towel, they are perfect for drying my wine glasses! ;)

I took an inventory of the towels I presently have. Not included are the numerous ones I have given as gifts!


On the right are the flour sack towels (28" x 28") and on the left the smaller towels (18" x 28"). Hum ... I think I have a good supply for now! lol Oh well, Christmas is coming!

I'm hoping to actually quilt this week. I FINALLY found the pattern I was looking for ... perhaps motivation to turn my sewing machine on!

Catch you all later! Cheers!

Those are really cute and I agree, doing towels is fun, and no extra work. I have made one for each holiday and also gifts, and they have nice finished towels at the craft stores now.

They are gorgeous. But please explain - what is "flour sack"? Not familiar with the term here Downunder. Is it a thicker open weave or a fine variation on calico? Or something entirely different?
